Always e-brake.

The only reason e-brake would be a bad idea is if you're going to let the car sit for a long time. (a few weeks or more)

I use e-brake, and put it in gear when on hills for a little extra security.

i usually just do e-brake, i do both though on a hill


i just dont like doing the gear, cause sometimes i feel like i shut the car off and let off the clutch too soon, and i get that stall feeling.

I always park in gear and with E-Brake. Ever since I parked in a friend's hill of a driveway with my S2000 using only the E-Brake, and coming out 30 minutes later seeing my car in the middle of the road did I start putting it in gear just in case.

sometimes i do both if its really hilly, other then that im strictly e-brake... if i were to put it in gear i usually shut off the car in neutral then put it in gear, and i use 4th gear for some reason

E-brake only. The only time using the e-brake is no good is after a hard run... like at the Dragon.
