So the question is who actually uses the E-brake/Parking brake?

 

twice in 2 years, both times picking it up from the shop.

 

Mostly just when I am going to lift it with a jack.

 

Every time, but it's a habit I've gotten into with any car I drive - started when my cars used to be manual shifters.

Using the e-brake regularly does help to keep the system in good working order, though.

 

I'd use it more if it wasn't so awkwardly located.

 

All the time in the 5sp but not very often in the auto!

 

I use it all the time in my 928.

-If I park my automatic tranny minivan on the street [parallel parked], I usually park it in neutral and just set the parking brake. Since some people "park by feel"...this keeps the park-lock pin from being destroyed.

N!

 

I used to use mine until the spring shot out... now she likes to roll places and get into fights with Fords...

 

Use it or lose it.

 

I use it to keep my carpet mats in place!

 

If you don't use it, why care if it pin is destroyed? This sounds like putting a slipcover on your sofa to keep it "nice".

Pulling that lever is an ingrain habit for me. My auto 82's park brake was shot from day one, but I still set it out of habit.

 

Every time when parked on a slope or when preparing the car for service.

 

Speaking about parking brake. How do you adjust it. I'm sure it is a stupid question but I am just the right stupid guy to ask.

 

All the time.

 

I'm glad you said it. Remove the cover and you will see the adjusting threads and nut. It's a no brainer from there.
