If you put it this way, I must admit that I really don’t understand the concept. You win!!! Please forgive me for stepping on your toes. It is totally out of line.
I apologize to everyone that I have misled you. Please do not put in gear when parking because it may break your tranny mount, connecting rod or and transaxle. Along the some logic, it may be wise not to apply hand brake either because it will put extra stress on the bumper when other bumps into you. Ooop, I spoke too much again.

Hi,
You probably would have been safe to simply let it go after the 1st sentence... You might have overlooked my statement that I am not advocating any particular practice, but rather described my own and the reasoning behind it...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

There is an old expression worth remembering.
"Sarcasm is cruel wit!"
Lets all just remain calm and friendly!

You know what I love the most about the back and forth sarcasm and arguing on this particular thread? I'm not in the one causing trouble this time!
BTW - I am a neutral with hand brake guy myself unless I'm on a hill, and I rarely park on hills in Houston, Texas. We do have very steep hills though. They are called overpasses.

Well, the emoticon was intended to signify that I was joshing, obviously I don't use a chock to park my car. I was attempting to lighten the mood on this topic, as it was going down hill quickly.
Now, as for your post to Jim, I say you are on the edge of being out of line.
My request is that you tone it down a bit so that we can get back to the not-so-serious business of obsessing about our Boxsters.
Jim, c'mon back and contribute, you are always welcome!
