'Tis The Season To Pull E-Brakes!
Just a little note that it's getting to be icy out there, so just be careful during the daily drifting sessions and the friday nights in mall parking lots. Don't bend your cars, and stay safe!

Just wondering about the e-brake thing...I've heard in the winter that sometimes it can freeze the brake lines, so when you put the lever down, it is actually still engaged. Is this true?

you should try it, but make sure the ground is totally covered wth ice or snow or you could rip your chassis out from under ya.

I use my e-brake for what the name says...emegency
If I feel I'm not going to make a corner, yoink the e-brake and she straightens right out
I caught an edge yesterday and if I hadnt used my e-brake I would have been in the ditch.
It's not supposed to be a toy...if you learn how to use it properly, it's a great tool.
BTW we got at least 6-8 inches of the crap and it dropped to negative 18 last night...best part is, my furnace is out of commission and it is now 12C in the house...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hiredgoon,
If you only use your E-Brake in an emergency, that means it doesn't get used much, if at all. It's bad practice not to use it, as the cables will become brittle and could break when you need it the most. Having an MTX, I use it all lthe time. If you have an auto, that shouldn't stop you though. My girlfriend drives an auto P5 and uses her's all the time.
Besides, who says it's not a toy? It's ok to have a little SAFE fun once in awhile!
