I'm "used to" parking the car in neutral and using the parking brake. When I picked my car up from the body shop a couple weeks ago, I started the car as I usually do. Clutch to the floor, foot on the brake, turn the key to start. As soon as the car started, released the key, released the clutch. Thank goodness I had my foot on the brake! Car violently lurched forward and stalled. Doubt the parking brake would have kept the car from lunging forward just a few short inches and damaged the lower portion of my front end against the parking block. And if it did, doubt the body shop would have claimed responsibility for that repair...
