RE: E-brake stuck...
I guess I should rephrase. You should never leave an E-break applied for an extended period of time when it is freezing (parking overnight, for a couple of hours at a friends place, that kind of thing).

I guess it all depends on what you call it now. Parking brake--use when parking. Emergency brake--use during emergencies....so whitch one do we have then?? Emergency? lol

Popular question lately. If your Stang was built before 10/1/06, go get your new brake cables. Mine are getting installed tommorrow. When people tell you to just not use them, that's the silliest thing I've heard. Never had problems on any other car. Oh and I've heard people say that going in reverse will loosen them up, I can tell you that it's not always true. Actually, they were grabbing harder when I did.

This is amazing, I don't think I have ever use my Emergency parking brake. But if I would use it, it doesn't get that cold hear so ?
Why do you use it? Do you have emergency's or does your 'Park' possition not work or your 1st gear possition. I don't understand?

"Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or in 1 (First) (manual transmission)."
