On what  planet has ANY owner's manual recommended NOT  putting the 
manual  transmission in a low gear (typically first or reverse) when  
parking?

Most three on the tree, and some floor four speeds, were made  so one HAD 
to put the transmission in reverse to remove the  key.



It got worse. The thing that still pisses me off about my 2005 Corvette -  
remedied, supposedly in later models. You have to put the car into Reverse  
(6-speed stick) to open the door and get out. Or to let someone else  out. 
So you cannot leave the car running and get out. (There are manual  levers 
down on the floor to release the door in an emergency.) I have  gotten used to 
it over the years, but I still don't like  it!
