agreed. it's easy to shift without using the clutch. i place mine over the brake pedal.
Now the car is even easier to steal...at least when it's on the clutch the thief has to bypass the clutch depressed relay to the starter...now he can just step on the clutch and start the car. He doesn't need the brake anyway...if he stays under 40km/h, the hand brake works just fine. I would say the gas is the better place then.
