Why does my husband not put the car in Park?
The one thing that always gets me is that he often turns off the engine without shifting back into park. I tell him that it damages the car, and he says it doesn’t. I find that hard to believe because the car won’t start if the gear lever is not in park. Can you knock some sense into him? I love him to death, but not his car/driving philosophy.
