I still need mine. I have to warm my car up for a couple minutes before I drive, otherwise my engine stalls out. If I'm parked on a hill, it's rather hard to stand on the brake pedal the whole time while trying to fire the engine up and get the choke working properly.

I let mine warm up every morning when it is cold outside so I have to have it. Don't want it to roll down the driveway.

Here are 2 pics. They aren't great, but you can see the bend pieces.

Better keep a brick with you at all times

I seriously once saw a guy jump out of his truck and put a boot behind his tire to stop it from rolling away...

My girl friend (many years ago) parked her Chebby in my driveway which was a moderate hill and left it in first gear. The neighbor knocked on the door about an hour later to tell her that her car was in his front yard! It popped out of gear, rolled down my driveway, across the street, and into his yard. It was amazing that it didn't hit anything on its journey.

A new wheel and pin is cheap insurance, use the e-brake!

I'm going to straighten out the wheel and hope it works, everything else seems ok.
