RE: Does anybody use the parking brake?

I live in an brand new apartment complex, with what I thought was a flat even parking lot. I just got home one night, and I watched my car roll backwards and block the entry secutiry gate from my living room window. Thats probably one of the 5 times most I've ever not used my parking brake...

Who would have though, using a parking brake when parking. Amazing.

Always. I have seen way to many cars roll away in my time.

I use it about once a week. Using it too much is a bit ****. However not using it at all is bad for the system itself. It needs to be used or else 10 years from now when you finally need to use it, it'll be weak or flat out break on the spot.

Please explain how it is **** to make sure your car doesn't roll away.
Manual I use every time I park.
Automatic never.
