why it's called a "PARKING" brake
So last night I go outside to move the miata my wife parked behind my truck. Start it up, then the truck. While I'm outside, I hear a noise like a car door slamming shut.
Her (my) miata has rolled down the driveway and is kissing the rear bumper of the truck, with my trailer hitch poked through the turn indicator lens.
Argument over the concept of parking brake usage ensues. Apparently it's my fault I didn't make sure the parking brake was on when I started it::Argue:: ::BlahX3:: .
On the bright side, it could have been worse. It could have impaled itself somewhere else, or without the hitch would have rolled underneath the truck.::1Dollar: ::Shocked:
Plus, I'll need to keep it until I can get it fixed, extensive test driving anticipated.::Banana::
Are those replacement aftermarket assemblies on fleabay any good?
