Hey, that's an "R" on the shift lever knob, not a "P"... Seriously, though, that's a good point... I've looked at two or three insurance claims where the driver slammed the slushbox gear selector into Park while on a steep incline, then didn't set the e-brake. One such case was on a public boat ramp (glug glug). People just don't realize the park pawl doesn't always seat fully if it's engaged while under load. Once the pawl slips, might as well wave buh-bye as your tranny goes clunk-clunk-clunking down the hill. //> //> //> //> //> Garrick 2006 Mazda6 Grand Sport wagon, silver, MTX I'll never forget you: Silver E0, #3895 of 6535, built 10/2/97
