damn that sucks.. I didn't know about the e-brake adjustment thing, I'm goin to look into that.

I busted my freshly painted, URETHANE, aerosync bumper at the auto-x 2 weekends back =/...15 mph impact with a cone? I don't get it. Anyway I'm upset and I'm clueless as to how to fix it. Guerilla Glue?

Anyway glad you will still be at the meet. See you Sunday.

happened to my brother in his old audi once...parked at my old house with a steep driveway...just pulled the e-brake up and ran in to house for a little...came out and the car had rolled into the neighbors yard...good thing the wheel was turned otherwise it would have went all the way across the street.

Leaving a car in gears is annoying to me since after i start the car i take my foot right off the clutch. of all the years i have been driving manual cars, I never once had that problem. but we all sometimes have way too much in mind and forget. Good luck and lets get it back on the road....

Stall it once or twice, and you'll remember you left it in gear... and why. First thing my dad taught me when parking a car... never trust the e-brake!

This is the very reason I keep it in first with the emergency brake on when parking. Thought this was standard procedure? ANy technical reason not too?

Do you leave automatics in neutral when you park as well? JK, leave it in gear next time, an expensive lesson learned.

Damn, that must of really sucked for the NSX guy. Glad he was cool about it though. NSX are pretty rare and most owners would be pissed.
