For those of us with a manual trans

When you park your car, do you leave it in gear, use the e-brake, or both.

Personally, I just use the e-brake unless I'm ona steep hill or something. Then I leave it in gear also.

always leave it in first and use e-brake...heard too many horror stories of failed e-brakes to really trust them...

I've always used the e-brake and first gear. It never hurts to have extra insurance.

Ehh...only on a hill. I used to forget I would leave it in gear, so I would stall right after I turned it on. I stopped leaving it in gear after that.

well, i have an auto, but when i drive and park a manual at work, i just use the ebrake.

 

[jwl03]

usually I park the car with both the e-brake and in gear (especially 1st on uphills and reverse on downhills)

I only use the e-brake if I plan on using my Ultra Start remote starter to either heat or cool the car before I get in it.

I can't respond to this because I have a slowomatic.
