as long as we're on the subject of stupid accidents i stopped at a burger king to get somethin to eat. well as i was making a right out of the parking lot i looked down to put the straw in my drink and i ran over a curb and scraped the shit out of the passenger side rocker molding and ground down the piece of metal it mounts to (very similar to what kmjsmith did). i jumped out and looked and a very colorful stream of words followed but you can't see it unless you look at it from the bottom. i haven't got it fixed yet but i don't think im gonna until i get a chin spoiler or louvers

Ok, gonna put my story, I was driving home and stupid me, I never had a car with a handbrake and well, I used it to slow my car down... The road was wet and I was heading to a curve... It was slowing down like if I were normally breaking... but at mid corner the back end broke loose, I spun the car 270 or so degrees, hit the curb with the left front tire and lightly scratched the front left bottom of the bumper.

I ordered a CDC agressive Chin spoiler to hide it, even though its noticeable if you know about it.

Needless to say... I ain't using the handbrake to slow my car down again...

was that like an experiment thing? where you just do it to see what happens?

Luis_GT · July 3rd, 2007, 01:57 AM

Well, The e-break is weak... I never expected it to break loose.

My previous car had a foot e-brake... never used that thing.

06RedfireGT · July 3rd, 2007, 02:03 AM

i only use my e brake if i park on an angle so it doesnt bounce off the park lock and break it (auto trans)

Luis_GT · July 3rd, 2007, 02:05 AM

Mines manual... I use the e-brake everywhere I park.

06RedfireGT · July 3rd, 2007, 02:14 AM

if your cars manual you gotta use the ebrake everywhere, but you know there poeple that dont.

kmjsmith · July 3rd, 2007, 10:14 AM

Heres one for you manual owners...I use the parking brake when I park, and leave it in 2nd gear. Anyone else do this or do you guys leve it in neutral??

if i am on flat ground i'll normally just toss it in first or second and park like that; but any slight hill and i use the e-brake as well.

If I'm up hill, I place it on first, if I'm facing downhill, I use Reverse... I have the tendency to always use the park brake.
