So, have a lot of you disabled the clutch safety interlock (those that don't have remote start)? Or do s14s not have it? Because my car won't start without the clutch fully depressed, so I don't have to worry about slamming into another car at startup, and I always put it into neutral before starting anyway.
I always use both e-brake and leave it in gear, just in case. One night, I parked in front of my in-laws' house, which is on a moderate hill, and when I went to leave, my car wasn't in front of their house anymore, which scared the hell out of me. Turned out that, even though I usually use both e-brake and leave it in gear, I forgot to leave it in gear that night, and I happened to have not pulled up the e-brake as far as I usually do. My car rolled down the hill and into a neighbors yard two houses down, sitting right in front of their front door. I was lucky, if it had rolled 3 feet more to the left, it would have hit a cement wall, and if it had rolled about 5 feet farther, it would have run into their garage.
