That's just way too theoretical for me. Been parkin' in gear for nearly 40 years now, never once been so much as tapped by another vehicle in all that time. B'sides, the Box is now 12 years old...somebody smacks it hard enough to damage the tranny, damage to the bodywork alone will be enough to total the car!
