letting a women drive your car EVER should be number 1-10.
Infact just letting women on or around the road is bad for your car.
They need to make cars out of NERF just for women.

#1 is retarded wtf are they talking about. Parking brakes don’t lock up your non drive wheels if its a rear wheel drive car. I don’t hear of people breaking their parking pawl that often either.

it can ‘freeze’ the first time you use it in 5 years. the so called freeze you speak of is rust not allowing the parking brake to release. if you use it all the time it will act the same in the summer as it does winter.
trust me, my civic would not be winter drift king with out the e brake, lol

oh ok. i remember people talking about back when I first got my car that in the winter, if your car sits you should not use the parking brake and just leave it in gear.
Is it ok to leave in the winter for 2-3 days at a time with the parking brake on?

Unless it’s rusty as shit it should be a non-issue.

> An interesting note: Most cars can drive another 60 miles+ after they hit Empty, automakers call this extra gas the “buffer zone”. US cars have the largest “buffer zone” of any vehicles. German drivers, for instance, like to know exactly how much gas in is the car, so their “buffer zone” between the gauge’s E and the actual empty tank is much smaller.
when i first got my jetta i ran out of gas, then every spring i would run out of gas at least once. when its on e, it is on e. my civic was not like that at all

#1 is silly. Of course if the majority of Americans didn’t drive gay slushboxes it wouldn’t be a problem.
My #1 would be salt. More importantly dissolved salt in LIQUID DEICER
