I always been putting it in 1st gear and ebrake on...
Is this standard or do yall put it in reverse gear when parking the car?

 

!st with the e-brake when I had my MT Suby 2.5 rs.....
Goddamn I miss that car

 

it depends. when parking uphill (front up) then you put it in first gear but when parking downhill (front down) you put it in reverse.

 

+1, onthe e-brake not the suby always apply brake first to make it the first line of defense and then the gear, you don't want to have the tranny support the car.

 

I park the car in first gear out of habit. Unless its an unusual situation, the emergency brake is OFF.

 

And its never rolled away for u?? Damn! My car would roll right out of my garage in any gear lol

 

Reverse with brake on.

 

LOL
i had an incident where i forgot E brake and i stopped to get gas and the car almost rolled off while getting gas.... would of been a disaster lol

 

I typically decide while parking "if I am to accidentally pop the clutch out when starting up the car, would I rather have the car lurch forward or lurch backward?"

Like if you are parked 2cm away from a wall and lurch forward, you could hurt your bumper pretty bad...

 

I never do that acutally

 

+1

 

I dont put it in any gear. I only pull my ebrake.

 

1st gear!

 

Ebrake only for me

 

ebrake and when i remember 1st gear.

 

Any reason to why your in reverse when downhill (front down)? I always put on 1st gear with ebrake no matter what.

 

1) ebrake
2) reverse unless car is facing uphill;then first.

ebrake keeps the "strain" off the tranny. tranny is just a back up.

 

1st or R+e brake

 

1st and e-brake

 

There was a thread on here a few months ago on the same subject. You never want to just park with the e-brake only on because there have been cases (not just Z's) where the e-brake has failed and people have come back to find their cars in a different spot. Use gear+e-brake always... I do 1st gear + e-brake.
