Pulling the e-brake
okay since it's just started snowing kinda majorly and the roads are slippery - I've obtained the bad habbit of pulling my e-brake when turning corners so i fishtale - no i know it's a really stupid thing to do but i cant help it
 It's fun!  ANYWAY - i was just wondering other then hitting something like a tool - is this bad for my baby? And if so... HOW bad? |

Re: Pulling the e-brake
As long as you remember to release it, no harm.
British rally drivers use that trick to corner faster in gravel/sand/snow. I understand they'd even "fine tune" it by having two levers - one for each rear wheel.  Remind me not to drive next to you in a turn.

Re: Pulling the e-brake
no damage. may stretch out the cable a tiny bit but that can easily be tightened.
I love the brake, in my last car i put a ski pole handle on it for better grip! The chime is a tad annoying but well worth it. After the PT I wont have to use it as much, next car will definitely be AWD turbo and not a subaru (those engines sound like broken sewing machines)

Re: Pulling the e-brake
 I used to do this all the time in my Plymouth Champ ( Mitsibushi Colt) but with the Cruiser's abs I can't anymore it shudders and makes a God-awful noise.
