I never leave my car in gear when I park...well, unless I'm on a steep hill which is very rare. I just use my e/parking brake.

I hate it when valet or parking attendant people leave it in 1st :happysad:

I just leave it in neutral and pull the parking brake up. Even if I'm on a hill I do the same thing sometimes. I suck, I know. h:

Just wondering after reading the last post.....Don't all Honda's require you to push in the clutch in order to start the car?

I know mine does.

All I have is hill parking when at home.

At work we have a parking lot at least, which is flat.

then you start it and let go of the clutch and it jumps forward, scaring the shit out of you.
