E-brake fishtails are fun! Whenever there's a slick surface, hell yeah, lots of fun. I like to call it the "magic lever"

Yeah, I always make sure I'm clear of cars, curbs, and children (3 C's ) when attempting stupid things. Drifting, weee!

Ya know, being that you can drive some cars with the e-brake handle raised dosent say much for the emergency brake They shouldve called it the "make the car smell funny handle"
i forget where i heard that but its funny

but anyway, so far so good with the cruiser only e braked it on dry twice. once brushed a curb with my corolla in snow then it bent the rear spindle so i had a wobbly wheel (just like nat'l lampoons vacation but not as bad)
