Most of the Phoenix aea where I live and drive/park is pretty flat. I've stopped putting my car in gear when I park, particularly where the possibility of it being hit exists. I figure there would be less damage, given the same hit, if the car wasn't in gear, as my drivetrain wouldn't be engaged.

If it's an incline of any sort, I'll put the car in 1st or reverse.

Yes the parking brake is inside the hub of the rear brakes and are small drum and shoe design.
