See if you can guess what it is that I broke today. Lol I was like wtf just happened??? I'm glad I have a ton of other stuff to do this weekend. That's one more thing I really wanted to do on my list SMH.

Yea of course. I very seldom use it though. I park in my garage usually so its flat, just leave it in gear. This week though, we are preparing to move again so I have been on the driveway and using the parking bake at night. Its so random. Oh well, its only like a $12 part. I just didn't want to add more **** to the list I gotta do. This one is pretty far down though.

You should paint the 4x4 black with a big gold "Cadillac" emblem and below it put, "Deluxe E-BRAKE" so that people know what's up.

That's funny. I usually just hook up to a mustang... Lord knows they aren't going anywhere fast.

Darn, I was thinking of trying to add something like that. Also, I bet you could sell that 4x4 block of wood to Junior-1 for $1000 as a lightweight E-brake upgrade. Eliminates 4 lbs of unsprung weight!

I carry a BMW steel wheel chock in my V. PITA to fix/adjust the cable so I use that if necessary.
