Message	All I asked was if there is INSTRUCTIONS on turning on and turning off the car and if there are specific instructions and things to do before turning off and turning on a car.. 5 Speed at that.. Its just like a automatic, would u leave it in drive and shut the car off and then leave the car? No You dont. The manual for a automatic states that you need to put it in park or NEUTRAL. Not Drive, First gear is like drive, but anywas im not here to debate this.. I appreciate all your opinions and thoughts on the matter and am not here to start a argument.. or for you to feel sorry for me or WHATEVER.. I just wanted to know 1 thing. Now this has nothing to do with the remote start feature.. I don't know much about remote start, it came with car. If it was such a big deal, wouldnt the mechanic tell me of this.. Also please keep in mind that the 5 Speed Conversion and the Engine Swap was done by the SAME people. - Yes, the mechanics new of the remote start. But thats besides the point guys. They left a car, reversed parked, in FIRST GEAr, not in reverse, in first gear, without E-Brake on. They bypassed the clutch without telling me, I got ran over by my own car, I was infront of it, while it started and thankfully i didnt fall over.. IT was their neglegence in the matter. My car insurance company have concluded that its their fault and not mine.. But Im not here to discuss this or get you guys involved, I prolly shoulda renamed it and not described to you what happened. Anywas, I just wanted to know wether or not it states in the manual, as dumb as it may sound, how to park the car and turn it off AKA pulling the E-Brake up and leaving the car in NEUTRAL, not first gear.. But anywas, again thanks for your opinions and thoughts on the matter and your condolences.
