To the OP. I usually either park in 3rd or reverse. Usually 3rd, and reverse if the front is pointing down. No reason for why I pick 3rd, other than it being just the "go to gear" I guess for me since you just push the shifter forward lol.

You might regret that one day. Just saying. I did when I first got my Z. The e-brake gave out and I rolled into my friend's Jeep. It was the slightest hill so barely any damage, just dents from his front license plate bolts.

Bank robbers and teenagers whose girlfriend’s dad has a shotgun always leave the car parked in first gear for a quick getaway and so should you. First gear gives the engine the most leverage over the wheels to hold the car in place (reverse is too awkward to use) . The synchro unit for first gear barely gets any hard use in normal driving, so it’s one you least worry about. Also, we should always strive for efficiencies in our lives. Jump in, push clutch pedal, turn key, let out clutch and gone escaping the hail of shotgun pellets. Not having to fiddle with the shifter lever on most every start up will save you dozens of minutes over a lifetime. What could be better than that?
