Some rant, some advice...

Never leave it in gear when it's parked. Only the e-brake.

That's the thing, if your parking downhill (like my driveway) i keep it in reverse. This is just from common knowledge if your used to parking it on hills. I keep mine on neutral on flat terrain though.

Yeesh, I always leave my car in gear. Had one car with a crappy e-brake and heard too many other horror stories to rely just on it alone.

Then again I'm kinda OCD and always give the shifter a little wiggle to make sure it's out of gear if I want to let the clutch out while idling.
