hey, yea it's fine to leave your car in gear to stop the car from rolling. many many people do that.
Hill holding
More transmission questions... 
The emergency brake handle comes to use everytime you park, am I right? I also use a method to be in 1st/Reverse gear on a hill depending if it's uphill or downhill. Ex: the car is parked facing downhill. I shift to reverse to keep the car from rolling down. The car stops right when I let go of the clutch. I hope I'm not the only one doing this... :flame:

I know that you're supposed to turn your steering wheel to face the curb if the car was to move downhill, but I heard that if you park your car with the wheels turned (like how we like to pose our cars before we take a picture of it ) something like the wheel bushings or something can tear causing some money to replace. "Ummm, just park with the wheels straight," they said.

Who said that? fewls.
I suppose if you let it sit for weeks with the wheels turned on a hill you might end up with some problems, but for 0-10 hours. Pshaw!
You turn the wheels to keep from rolling down the hill, which is more of a concern than tearing stuff.

Hmmm, nice to know... and knowing's half the battle!
