totally off topic, but..........hey diabolus2k, nice to see a fellow Opeth fan on here!!!!
I did a search for Opeth to see what it (they) were about. A progrssive death metal band, very cool. I tried to listen to the samples, but I couldn't get them to work. I may not have a setting right on my comp. I'll have to check them out at a local store that lets you listen before you buy. I'm assuming they sound like Apocalyptica or Celtic Frost.

With your "clutch-in-to-start" feature you won't jump forward starting it.

this happened to me many years ago - I remember just looking out of my bedroom window, helpless as the S was rolling towards my neighbors brand new SL500 - luckily for me it was pparked on an incline and the wheels caught a drain hole causing the car to turn slightly, just missing the car and rolling into a front yard.

NEVER rely on the e-brake alone when parked on a hill

In addition to putting it in gear, you should turn it toward the curb. If you are parking facing up the hill, then turn the wheels to the left. If you are parking facing down the hill, then turn the wheels to the right. This way, if the car does roll, it stops by hitting the curb almost immediately.

Of course, in your driveway you don't have a curb, so make sure you put it in gear.

Cheers

If you're into progressive metal check out Between the Buried and Me. They are totally brutal:
