It annoys my wife, but i always use the parking break - on the Nissan (5spd) and the Crusier (auto) regarrdless of where i park ( yes even in the garage). unsure where i picked this up from as both my parents NEVER use the parking break - but then again they always had manuals so the tranny keeps it from moving ( intheory)
i Purposly turn the wheels only on really steap hills - Maybe i do it all the time and do not think about it.
