I usually put mine in neutral. It puts less wear on the clutch throw out bearing and gives me a chance to move my hands to my OL's thighs!

Same as most others. I stay in gear unless totally boxed in by stopped cars.

Always in neutral clutch is just too hard due to beefed up spring for my bad left thumb.

I will go to n sometimes if I can find it easily but that is not always the case. If I miss it on the first try I'll just leave it in gear.

I'm not paranoid about getting rear ended at all....

Ya, Right!
