I wasn't embarrassed about the stall but the mere fact that I did something so blind.

If it makes you feel any better, I know a guy who bought a Mustang and did the same thing, except he managed to keep it in gear and kept driving!!! The dude drove for 10 miles with the E-brake still on, and then pulls into the parking lot of the place where I was meeting him for dinner, with smoke billowing out of the rear wheels, and tells me he thinks something might be wrong with his Mustang. And then he realized he never disengaged the E-brake! I about wet myself laughing at him.

Those Mustang drivers are a special breed. I'll just leave it at that.
