While I prefer the extra safety of transmission and e-brake, plenty of people use only the parking brake without issue. I don't necessarily agree with the method, but I don't see any difference whether the car is running or not. If your parking brake is working properly, you shouldn't have any problems. If not...  (which is why I prefer and would recommend in gear + e-brake when parking). |
i live in pa which is a hill anywhere you look. Ive had a MT since i bought an si 5 years ago. i always put the car in gear when parking on a hill (but that can only be done when the car is off) i hate the noise the z makes when it shuts off so i try to keep that to a minimum..
