I've done it before actually.



You don't even notice it, TDMVPDPOY.




And I did it for a lot longer than a block, let's just put it that way.

LOL. I drove my sisters mustang around the block with the parking brake on. :( I wondered why it didn't have the pickup.

That's why I never use my fucking parking break.


I don't park on hills, so I don't use it.


For some reason, it was up when I did it.


I did wonder why i had to press harder on the accelerator than usual

And I hate that she sits so damn close to the steering wheel. I sit in her car, my head is touching the sun visor thing.

Did you start to smell smoke or see sparks coming from the car? If not, then I'm sure you're fine. A block isn't very far at all. I'm glad my car beeps if I drive an inch with the parking brake still on.

Probably no damage but test it. Set the parking brake on maximum, put it in drive and give it a little gas (not close to other cars) to see if it holds.

If you fall off a roof, someone else has also. If you are eaten by sharks, guess what...someone else has already been eaten by sharks. If you are killed by a fish in your fish tank, you guessed it...you are stupid. You get the point. Everyone drives with their parking brake on at some point in their life.

Yeah, there are some real dumbasses out there. You name it, its been done. :lol What I meant to say was I'm glad I'm not the only one on these boards to do that.

OOOooooOOOO. I get ya. Ever shoot yourself in the balls because you stuck a bullet into your cars engine to act as a fuse because you had no spare fuses...you guessed it. Someone has already done that, and was on the Darwin list.

I once drove with my parking brake on for like 20 minutes! :lol It was when I first got my car when I was 16 and it got so bad that my brakes stopped working while I was on the highway going 65! One of the scariest incidents in my life.. :lol

Speaking of balls.... ever stick your balls in a bowling alley's ball washer? Ever cut off your nuts over the outcome of a sports game? Yep, some morons out there have done both of them. :lol

Haha, I didn't see it posted on here, so I dunno. I was thinking it was over European soccer, but I don't really remember the details. Its probably the same story. In any case, what an idiot. :lol

I have done the same! lol. I drove it for a while. and then I smelled something weird and I stopped the car in a shopping center. Still didn't know what it was so I kept driving. Then my brakes started failing! omg it was freakin scary, i finally realized what it was, the stupid parking brake.

...and it was DAD that had put the parking brake on my car, so I didn't even know it was on! lol

The only way to know is to test it, the parking brake should hold the car up to I believe 1200 or 1300 RPM's...

The parking brake only engages the back two wheels, so you probably wore your rear brake pads a little, but no real damage. If you had driven with it for miles though you should bleed your breaks and get some new fluid in the braking system. If you've never changed the fluid and it gets real hot (for example, when you leave your PB on) it can break down chemically to condensation and then you're in deep shit.

One time I told my uncle that I was having to press real hard on the acclerator, but I had managed to get the car home, about five miles, after I had filled up for gas. He still laughs and Ask's me at reunions if I have learned not to have the brake on when I drive. I'm 62 years old, by the way, he never did let me borrow his car after that.
