I am going to put my car away this weekend. Is it ok to leave it in 1st gear? Or should I put it in neutral and use blocks? I will be parked in an underground garage in a condo.

i tend to leave the car in neutral.....hand brake OFF.....and use bricks behind tires.....leave ur window open just a touch also to let the air circulate somewhat.....

But is there any harm leave it in the first gear?? I am leaving the handbrake off.

just dont forget in the springtime that its in gear when u go to start her up for the first time...it should be okay....just leave urself a note in the car that its in gear.....parking the car in an underground garage...u could prolly use ur hand break...shouldnt get cold enough in there to freeze ur hand break....
