Here's my neighbor's month-old roadster, which rolled backward out of his garage, across our residential street and into our neighbor's mailbox. Poor guy wasn't home when it happened, but it looks like he left it in neutral with no parking brake engaged. Yikes. It could have been *lots* worse.

 

Thats a stupid thing to forget. At least there shouldn't be any visible damages except maybe a little scratch. Hes lucky the curb isnt really high.

 

D F

 

Maybe hes new to manuals. Bad thing to forget tho...

 

i always leave it in gear and put up the e-brake.

 

that really sucks...

i was in my friends VW parking up hill... as I was getting out of the passnger seat it started rolling back, my friend didnt uptll the EBrake up far enough or leave it in gear... my pasanger side door and the persons behind me door got bent back all the way...

I dove into the car and slammed the food brake and forced it into gear... after it stopped... i couldnt stop laughing.. hha

 

Our parking brake seems to suck, too.. I don't trust it and always leave it in gear....

Wonder how much that cost him to fix.

 

Why dont you just adjust it yourself?

 

hahahaha. that just looks funny. he should never tell anyone it happened. idiot

 

This one gets the "pwn3d" designation... it's a candidate for the Owned thread

how? mabey stupid sorry but how do you adjust it?

 

How do you adjust it? i have to yank mine to the top for it not to roll down my driveway.

 

What A Maroon!

 

There is an adjustment screw that you crank to tighten or loosen the cable. It should be somewhere between the rear wheels (im not really exactly sure where it is since I have never worked on a 350Z back there before).

 

We should take his keys away and replace them with keys to a Toyota Echo. On a serious note he's lucky that's where the car stopped.

 

Boy! Are we not being just a little too judgmental?
Or have you never made a "dumb" mistake?
