Default Let friend drive- left e-brake on... is my car ok?

Searched, and I guess no one else on here has retarded friends.
But just an hour ago, I let my friend drive my car about 200 yds. When he parked it, he realized the emergency brake was on the whole time... what a jackass.

Anyways, is my car ok? Or do i need to go get the e-brake pads replaced? Never had this happen before...

Thanks in advance.

btw- moral of the story, don't let your friends drive your car.

If the car moved without much resistance, I wouldn't think the brake is messed up. I got one stuck once and drove it for about 2 miles. Smoked like a monster, but it still worked after that.

park on a hill, pull e brake, does car roll down hill? if not your good.

In all seriousness it sounds like it couldn't have been pulled very hard...You should be fine. but kick friend in nuts for good measure.

All in favor of him smacking the crap outta his friend with possible groinage hits, signify by a raise of hands.
