Any automatic Z owners walk out their car in Drive or Reverse?

It's not a bad habit to just set your e-brake. Manual drivers usually have this habit, and it doesn't really hurt in an auto. (Unless you forget to disengage it,

It's not a bad habit to just set your e-brake. Manual drivers usually have this habit, and it doesn't really hurt in an auto. (Unless you forget to disengage it, but that's your problem.) Thankfully I already do this in my current car, so not worried about it in the Z, despite the lack of a key to grab out.

Asking someone who forgets to put the car in Park to add setting ebrake seems futile, don't you think?? They can't remember to do the most basic procedure, let alone add one to the routine.

About 25 years ago I went to a local strip joint with some buddies. Was driving my parent's car. Don't even think I was old enough to drink yet, but ofcourse I had been. At the end of the night I came out and the car was not where I parked it. I thought "Oh Sh*t, someone stole my Dad's car. Explaining this isn't going to go over very well." After a couple minutes of freaking out I noticed the car was about 50 yards down the parking lot in the weeds. I had left it in drive and the parking lot had a pretty good slope to it. No damage... needless to say I was very relieved.
