EOC gone wrong:

Worst EOC experience was in a rental Chrysler 300 in Alberta. Coasting down a mountain pass, I decided to shut it down. (should have downshifted and let the fuel-cut do its job, but...)

Turns out, you have to have the car in Park to restart

Triple-checked the Neutral gear position, engaged the brake, parking brake -- everything I could think of, until I saw a turnout at roadside.

Apparently there's different behavior among models of cars (and the markets where they're sold).
