My old '83 5kt could be started and put in drive without the brake being 
applied.  I broke that habit as soon as I noticed it, since if the 
engine revved for some unpredictable reason, the car would have taken 
off... hmmmmmmmmm

I never really tried the trick at stop signs or lights, I suppose it 
would have felt too dangerous.  Like driving a Pinto.
