Don't you always feel like a genious when that happens?

I know the feeling though, always parked my car in gear with the ebrake on. A couple of times I'd get in, clutch in, start car, clutch out ... "wtf??? oh yeah still in gear, oops..."

See I leave it in neutral with the E-Brake on... but sometimes I forget to put it in neutral before I put the e-brake on and I take the clutch out while the trucks still on... and I stall it out... not fun...

If I were you I wouldn't trust only the ebrake, leaving it in gear also seems much safer. Just my 2 cents tho

To be honest I don't know many ppl who leave it in gear as well as the E-Brake... the dealer is the only one who does that where I live... that I know of anyway... my 40-some year old uncle has been usin' only the E-brake since he's been drivin manuals...and has been drivin manuals since he was 18... no probs..

eh... sorry if I'm comin off like a Dick... not tryin to... just havin' a rough day... and I feel like ****... and I'm tired... and I've been up since 5:00am this mornin... and I have to go on a 16 hour round trip drive starting tonight at 10:30pm... not fun... good news is I'll be a hell of alot closer to Frenchy so I can take care of our plan... hehehe...
