Well just fugged my car up.

Pulled my IM off and put the stocker back on. Tried to start the car and the battery is dead. Bust out the charger and get her started. Leave the car runnin so it will charge a bit. Put the engine cover on while the car is running. Car moves and Im like WTF? I put the ebrake on! Starts movin a bit more. My driveway is one hell of a hill!! Im holdin on to the the front core support for dear life!! I get it stopped but no one is in site to help. I have to some how get in the car to kill it and put it in gear. I look around the garage and see a paint masker near by. Im thinking if I can grab it and throw it under the front wheel I can stop it long enough to get in the car. NOPE! I get the masker and throw it under the front wheel. The car stops for about a sec. Then over it it went! Down my driveway and into the Fire Hydrant accross the street. All I hear is SMACK!!! I run over and the rear bumper is fugged! My FIBERGLASS Kenstyle bumper just didnt make it,lol. is really fugged! I REALLY need to just sell this car. I just wasnt ment to have it! BTW I LOVE THIS EBRAKE!!!

dude, that blows!! i get all paranoid about the little slight incline on my drive-way, and I just put blocks or wood behind my rear wheels and to top it off I just have to have it in gear as well.

tough luck man.

Look at it on the bright side lol, atleast your car wasnt facing forward, that would of cause lots more damage...

my brother-in-law recently backed over a hydrant at a job site with his truck, cost his boss over $4K to fix all the landscape damage to the houses around, that's a LOT of water when one breaks!

That totally sucks for you...HOWEVER where's a nosey neighbor with a camcorder when you need one! You coulda won America's Funniest Videos and used the prize money to fix your car!

Yes, these e-brakes are horrible. I got to crank on mine until it's almost vert just to keep the car from moving on a small slope. Sorry to hear that man.

I hope you were kidding on getting rid of the car.

Get us some pics of the damage. I have always been curious as to what fiberglass looks like damaged. Again, sorry to hear about the damage.
