Default In gear/or e-brake?
In your manual car do you pull the brake or leave it in gear? We are having a debate at work.

Depends where I'm parked, if its a fairly level area I just leave it in gear, but if its on a steep hill Ill do both.

Neither.




I've done the same as Slammed96 in the past with my manual vehicles. The e-brake in my 91' s10 was non-existent, so it was always the gear.
