Neutral, e-brake. If im on a somewhat steep hill I also turn the wheel into the curb/lawn so it rolls away from traffic. Only on really steep hills do i also put it into gear. I'm more likely to forget it's in gear and damage something that way than the ebrake is to fail.

uphill leave it in first, downhill in reverse.

Always turn the wheel too so if either mechanism fails or the car will roll and hit the curb instead of rolling into traffic/the car behind/in front of it.

you're an idiot, gravity and mass can do wondrous things my simple minded...uh... friend doesn't really apply now does it?

always in a gear and always have the ebrake pulled.

jb1830 · 04-01-2009, 09:34 PM

Almost always in gear (1st or R depending on slope) Ebrake engaged always.

howielong · 04-01-2009, 09:42 PM

Always ebrake up and usually in R when I go out. Though when I park at home I just put the ebrake up and leave it in neutral if I park far enough onto the driveway.

I don't use either of them. I only park on flats. No matter what.

E-brake, and 1st / reverse.

GTI_NY · 04-02-2009, 07:10 AM

on a hill in my old car, neutral with no ebrake, the car downhill from me stopped my car from rolling down the hill

phsdrummer2 · 04-02-2009, 10:14 AM

Turbo Timer likes to leave me sitting in neutral with the ebrake on. But if I am on a really steep slope I will sit there to keep it in gear (1st or Reverse) with the ebrake.

Buster · 04-02-2009, 10:20 AM

My parking brake doesnt seem to want to adjust very well so I'm always in gear. I'm crazy about it really. Downhill in reverse, uphill in first. brake on.

Mitsu4g63t · 04-02-2009, 10:20 AM

I always park in neutral with the e-brake. If I'm on a steep hill, I'll park in first with the e-brake. That way if the e-brake fail for whatever reason, the transmission is always a back-up

05 mazda6s · 04-02-2009, 10:45 AM

Mostly neutral with e-brake but if on grade 2nd or 3rd w/e-brake

Z31Fanatic · 04-02-2009, 11:05 AM

Always in 1st gear and e-brake.
