So how many people...

park their manual transmissions the "right" way?

The "how do you shift" thread came to mind when I was parking my car the other day and I thought to myself...I wonder.

I vaguely remember when I was first pursuing a 5-speed that people said when you park, you should only leave it in first or reverse, depending on what direction the car was facing on a slant, etc. etc. and to never park with the ebrake up. My guess is in case it seizes.


Well, I know if I'm parked on even a slight incline I just throw it in first or reverse, and I only use the e-brake if its a major hill or its pretty much level ground.

How about you?
