my ebrake doesnt even support my car sometimes.. not even on a slope.. it would slightly roll then id have to really pull the brake.

why always neutral though. ive done first on my previous car all the time.

Your s2ki age shows becuase you are completly wrong. The proper way to park a manual transmission car is to put it in either 1st or reverse and pull up the e-brake.

A few people in the past here never stuck their trannys into gear and posted pictures of what happens when the ebrake fails and their cars roll down a hill.

You should NEVER leave your car in neutral. Do a search and see what happens.

In gear with E-brake.

Always in 1st gear when the car is parked on an uphill.
Reverse on a downhill.

couldn't be more wrong

e brake can fail and it happen more than you think.

it's almost as worse as parking an auto without using the handbrake
