parking with engine towards driveway

Hello,
I've got an accord lx (2001) with automatic transmission.
Usually, the car is parked outside the garage on the sloped
driveway with engine facing garage.

But I changed how I park so that the car's engine is
facing the driveway.

The driveway to the garage is elevated.

Is it ok to park this way and it doesn't strain the transmission
nor brakes, right?

Thanks !!

 

See the answer posted in and learn how to properly
cross-post rather than multi-post.

 

No prob either way. If your car is newer than a Ford Model-T, it makes
absolutely no difference what slope you park on, or what angle that slope
happens to be.

By the way, pay some attention to Seth's cross-posting advice...

 

Amazing isn't it? People drive cars easy, hard, up hills, down hills,
stomp the gas, stomp the brakes, never give it a thought. Then they
worry about how much stress might be put on the car if they park it
pointed this way or that way...

 

This is true. But applying the parking brake properly (neutral,
parking brake, check for no-roll, in gear or park) will allow the
parking brake mechanism to hold the car; a safer procedure than
letting the car's weight rest against transmission parts. This is
especially true for parallel parking city dwellers whose bumpers are
constantly nudged by those around them.

 

are y'all for real?????

 

It makes no real difference what order you do these things in. The parking
pawl is designed to take the load.

But the parking brake should always be used regardless.

 

Maybe in a Honda car it is but ask my brother in law about his Ford.

 

What happened to his Ford?

 

Ford heavy duty pickup, slipped out of Park and rolled backwards down
a boat ramp.

Using the parking brake is a good habit to get into.
