Doh! But dont worry, I dont think much damage was done to your car within those 2 feet. Burning rubber is just your break pads, it might wear a lil, but not much difference its gonna make in that short of distance...just make sure DONT LET YOUR MOM DRIVE IT AGAIN!!

Nope. Not broken. Maybe if she forgot that the brake was up while going 85mph down the interstate, then we would have a problem, but cars are built to withstand little streses like this, not that I would reccomend doing it as a habit or anything. And next time, hide the keys.
