lol dont hate me for this but i honestly laugh every time i see someone with an automatic car parked w/ their e-brake on...
i could be wrong but isnt there absolutely no way the car could get out of gear without you pushing the brake, the button on the shifter AND moving the shifter ? i mean on a hill i guess you're just being safe but i still think its kinda funny hey it could be just me though  i laugh at everything.

when you park an automatic without the e-brake, the car rolls back and forth bouncing on the parking gear. If you do this enough it will crack the parking gear.
Also there have been cases where the automatic tranmission doesnt stay in gear/fails and the car rolls back killing the owner. so laugh all you want, the facts are out there. |
