I got into my first accident last night. I pulled into a space like King Dick, so I reversed to move the truck.... right into a parked car. I feel so, so brilliant.
AND THEN, today, stopped to get gas, pulled up too far, let it roll back with the clutch in, let off, APPARENTLY put it in neutral (I swear, I do not remember doing so), got out to pay for gas, couldn’t see it from inside, thought “Hmm, that’s odd”, and walk out to see it AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE GAS STATION. Thank Christ nobody was behind it.
Ugh. On the bright side, if my math is right, even occasionally driving slightly foolishly (not dangerously, just not efficiently), I’m still averaging 19mpg. So there’s that.

Parking brakes are great.

Well first off, ALWAYS use your hand brake if you got a stick. I reserve parking in gear for when I parked on a steep hill or something like that, and that’s WITH the hand brake.

We’ve all been there once and learned from it. I once backed into a parked car at night with my first truck. To make it worse, it was at work and the car I hit belonged to a subordinate. It embarrassing to say the least.

But what if you own a manual jeep XJ that refuses to have a functioning hand brake?!

Parking brake doesn’t work.
