Always neutral but i've never lived anywhere that i've worried about having my car stolen and almost never have to park on an incline.

I'm kinda confused by a coupla things......
Firstly in my Evo (JDM Spec Evo 7) you MUST clutch in to start the engine. Secondly, my turbo timer (Apex'i pen type) will shut the engine down immediately if you are in a gear and switch off the engine.
Doesn't the USDM Evo have this feature? Does your turbo timer?

I always park in reverse. reverse is the smallest gear and will hold the car the best. Never only trust you hand break which only hold the rear wheels, Where really is not that strong
