Qs about parking
I usually dont park my car in my driveway since its a steep hill. Is there any possible way to cause damage to something by parking your car on a steep hill all the time? I dont want to park along the house anymore since my hit and run incident. Also, do the manual people leave there cars in gear while parked? For the 3 months of driving manual, I have been leaving it in neutral. Someone told me that they leave it in 1st or reverse depending if the hill is up or down. Thanks.

my driveway isn't steep, but it is enough to roll the car back. I just put up my parking brakes... i dunno, i never got the habit of putting it into 1st gear unless I am really parked on a steep hill.
I see no problems if you leave your car parked up there all the time. When you roll up the driveway, hit the brakes, and put up the parking brake. Then before you get out, put it into 1st gear that way the weight of the car would be stopped by the brakes instead of your tranny.
