Do you park in gear?
 

I ran this poll a while back and was surprised by how few use only the e-brake.
Maybe this result will be a little different with newer forum members included.

Yes and the parking brake.

No my parking brake is in perfect adjustment, so I never place the car in gear unless I'm on a hill.

Gear and parking brake, regardless of a hill.

Because my Box isn't a daily driver i always only park in gear and don't use parking brakes. Brakes tend to block if the car is stored for a longer time.

No. Never.

If on a hill, e-brake and wheels cranked toward the curb.

E-Brake only

I may start parking in gear now :confused:

Anything can happen, so for me: e-brake, in gear, and wheels turned if next to a curb.

I use both 1st gear and the e-brake. Even in my garage force of habit.

E Brake, In Gear, Wheels in a safe direction. I had one in-explicitly roll on me. Call it suspenders and belt if you must.

In gear all the time
sometimes E-brake as well, such as on a hill or not flat
Wheels always turned to the curb

ebrake only in driveway, but anywhere outside my house, ebrake with gear.

Its flat here in Miami, so in gear only. I had a VW that I left outside, unused during an entire Wisconsin winter, with the parking brake on. If I remember correctly, it took hammers and torches to get it free.

The only good argument I have heard for using the parking brake only, is that if you leave it in first for example and the car gets hit from the front, the motor can get ruined (timing will be thrown off) because the motor will be turning backwards, which is a no-no.

E brake and in gear. Steep hill, wheels to curb and in Reverse.

E-brake and in 1st. Steep uphill, add: wheels to curb. Steep downhill add again: shifter in reverse.

in the garage i park in reverse always now ( parked it in N with no ebrake one and it pumped into the pull up handle on the garage door :(

when I'm out somewhere reverse / e brake

E-brake and either 1st or 2nd gear. My driveway has enough of a slope I don't want to find my car/s across the street.

And I'm getting old... If I forget one, hopefully I'll remember the other! :D

E-brake and 1st gear. Always.

Don't be this guy...

E brake and 2nd. Always.

1st gear only when parking in public. I only use the e brake if I get out while its running and I think the car might roll. Garage its always out of gear with e brake off. I back into the garage and then grab it by the spoke of the rim to roll it back into the perfect position. I also manually roll it back and forth when Im applying Back to Black on the tires.
