i tired the plastic trays and it lasted for a min. tried wood after, lasted longer. suddenly me and my friends got a bright idea to use metal... then the tires almost caught fire.

good times.

i lock up my ebrake all the time in the snow and rain... makes me smile ear to ear.
it cant really be that bad for your car, tires and brakes may not like it but whatever. those are wear items anyway.

there is this very cool video from a famous driver Tiff Needell showing the viewer how to do some cool(and potential lifesaving) tricks using a FWD car and the E-brake.


here is a google video link, its the whole movie but you can fast forward to the FWD part:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...l+google&hl=en

watch the above video to understand the proper way to use the ebrake while driving

This is why you don't try and park/turn with the e-brake.

yea it wears the tires a lot (unless its slippery in rain or snow) and it also wears the brakes...

you can do it once in a while and get away with it but dont do it all the time and dont do it in traffic or anywhere where you might hit something...
