I personally usually just leave it in gear unless Im on a steap incline and want to be sure it wont move.

Both. A little extra insurance never hurt anyone, especially when it's free.

Always put the car in gear, and no e-brake.. Looks gay when you go by a parked lsx and look in the car and see the ebrake pulled...

gay? i guess you could give the ebrake a sexual orientation.

I use 3rd gear for my T/A, ebrake if on a hill. My daily beater truck, 3rd gear as well, as long as it is flat. If I could get bumped good, and into another car, I'll use the ebrake, or if I am on a slight hill. The 3rd gear in the truck doesn't hold as well as it should.
