| e brake when parked?
you guys pull the e brake up when you park on a flat road with auto tranny?
i know for sure for manual cars you need the e brake up all the time when parked to prevent rolling.

nope just stick it in park, except for in the smart car when you don't have a park  my mom has rolled her car into several objects...
Always e-brake with my car though, Don't feel secure without it, even though i know it won't go anywhere if i stick it in gear, at least i don't pull out chocks

it's dangerous to park without using the ebrake. it's there for a reason, and that reason is not for drifting. in an automatic transmission "park" is not invincible. that little pin can snap so easily, and there goes ur car.

Wasn't there one guy on RS awhile back, I think that he put his car into gear and e-brake to park. His car rolled and crashed into a parked car still.

Even for the manual transmission guys, when you park, you should leave it in gear + ebrake.

I put mines in Gear, pull the e-brake and turn my steering wheel all the way (all the way to the left if it's uphill).
On a second note, remember to do a brake inspection especially on drum brake systems. Sometimes you need to calibrate it(adjust the shoes) so the Parking brake actually works. I don't know how many times I've driven cars that can still move at a fast pace even with the parking brake all the way up!!! It's crazy.....

i still remember my driving instructor telling me that to always think of it not as an emergency brake, but as a parking brake, so that you get into the habit of using it when parking and not for bootleg turns or initial-e wannabe drifts  | |

Also! if your car is getting towed, it'll give you another couple minutes while the guy is trying to break into your car to release it. True story, happened to me.
