Don't get too friendly with it now...I snapped my ebrake cable last year doing the same thing, and so did my brother! And I never bothered getting it fixed so I have to shut off the car every time I run in to get the mail or something or my car rolls away

You don't have to yank on the e-brake hard to lock your wheels when its icey and snow out. More so for you since you live in Winterpeg

just giving it a light tug and away goes the ass end :D

Try not letting the ass end go out all the way. Tap on it lightly while turning and do power-slides in the corners :D It gives ya a nice little Weee, while feeling the control of the car on ice.

Doing it when going from your street to your driveway is fun. I have a circle driveway, and its on the corner of the street. I powerslide through the corner and by the time I come to my Driveway 2nd entrance I'm facing straight and just drive right up the driveway :D

I finally get to use mine again. My big, e-brake blocking pods are gone for good!

I like to power slide into my driveway. It gives the neighbours something to watch.

Its easy going straight into the driveway from the street. Just slide 90 degrees and straight in.

Or do it in reverse and slide the back end out till its lined up with the driveway and back in.

Alternately its nice to do that reverse slide into a parking spot at work. Looks cool as hell when you nail it just right and don't rotate to far and have to make unsightly corrections as you back up into the space. Its definately something that needs to get practiced after work when nobody is in the parking lot.
