I live in fear of exactly this scenario you describe. My wife's autobox A6
is quite similar to my S6 (same interior color) and if I spend a lot of time
driving her car I have to consciously remember to depress the clutch the
first time I get back into my car.

Fortunately, with my ADD, I can focus on eleventeen things at once. :)
