How do you define parking?

Stopping your vehicle when not controlled by a traffic device. The length of time is immaterial. We went through all this a while ago on this forum.

My response:

I define parking as stopping your car on a bluff off of Mulholland Drive, overlooking the lights of the San Fernando Valley below, with your arm around your favorite girl.

That's parking!

Parking means stopping your car and putting it in park. Didnt you learn that when you first got your license?

I cannot put my truck in park. It has a manual transmission. How do I park it then? The position of the transmission shifter is immaterial to the answer to the OP's question.

My response:

Racer, I agree with you that the position of the transmission is "immaterial" to the issue. However, in a manual transmission, placing the shifter in the first gear position after the engine is shut down is the same thing as "park" in an automatic transmission.

Okay, whew!

I had a feeling you already knew that, but I was beginning to wonder!

Mandy probably has never driven a manual transmission.
