    I have 2009 430 scuderia. How do i park it on a hill? The parking brake doesn't even close to keeping the car from rolling backwards.
    thx ji

    Hill Parking - was on the Options list as an extra :)

    Probably the hand brake cable has adjusted to it's max.
    So check/replace pads and/or cable.

    But even when working, I always leave it in gear as well - and still have nagging thoughts of coming to back to find it somewhere further down the hill.

    This works well. I apply the hand brake, then with car in N I let off the brake so that it rests on the hand brake, THEN I engage 1st. It makes it easier for the car to get into N to start.
