****ing dumb ass.

I have a friend who NEVER uses a parking brake. Even though he has seen the pin in a Turbo400 equiped car break and the car roll into the street.

The reason he doesnt,  he can't remeber when he gets in the car to take it off. I borrowed his car for a week. When he got back he drove it for 3 days with the parking brake on.....

Wasn't the parking brake created and called a parking brake for a reason before automatic transmissions?

"Please hold a moment, sir; let me "dial" that extension for you..."
 Oh and the "dial" tone... like... where is the dial on a phone?

The only dial I use is the one on my watch.

I think its called an "emergency brake" today and should also be used for parking safety.

A car in neutral rolling happily down the street with it's driver absent is an emergency. :rofl

My buddy had a fiat, and we used the brake to do some rather nice  180's, but that was years ago.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

“When I drive a rental car, I don't know what's going on with it, right? So a lot of time I drive, like, for 10 miles with the emergency parking brake on. That doesn't say a lot for me, but it says even less for the emergency parking brake. It's more like an 'emergency make-the-car-smell-funny' lever.”-Mitch Hedberg

Seperate left and right sides. Put a handle on each side of the tunnel. One for left, one for right. Then tell me about 180s. :)
