I put my max into drive and revved to 3K eight or nine times thinking I was stuck in the snow. It turns out my E-Brake was on and before the last pedal mash, I smelled something like burning rubber. I exited the car and did not smell anything; what damage could I have done?

Thanks

 

You know the tires are made of rubber... lol

You probably spun the tires, although not sure how you couldnt realize it.

 

There was no burning smell on the tires; also, with the e-brake on, how could it have spun?

 

Most likely you spun your front tires.

Because the E-brake only holds the rear not the front

 

 

E-brake is applied to the rear wheels.

 

This. The ebrake is applied only to the rear wheels. Its how you make a front wheel drive car do a burnout.

 

Go to an open parking lot, and put fast food trays under the back tires, and lock the Ebrake. It helps if it is wet, but then you can go do donuts! its really fun!

 

Hah, my tires are so bad if it rains i dont need the fast food trays to drift. Just pop the ebrake.

 

Phew! Thanks everyone!

 

Lock it up.

 

I wish mine did that sometimes, but my All Season 235/45/20 tires are to big for the front to want to go drifting.

 

235/45-20^^^^^^ did u mean 245/35-20. If not you must be lifted or something

 

do you have lambo doors. ?

 

Do you have a drivers license?

 

What's a.driver's license. Lol where do I get that. The pawn shop. Lol

 

lmao ibtl

 

:metalmax:

 

U cd have blown yur ebrake cable.

But i doubt anyting major happened.

 

flux capacitor malfunctioned...thats going to cost alot to repair. should sell the car for parts

 

Its possible that your neons and your flame thrower exhaust are cross- fading and creating a spectral aura. your smelling the resulting ozone.

 

All the hand brake does is lock the rear wheel's brakes. You can't hurt anything.

 

lol

 

lmfao.

 

+1

 

why do automadic owners use the e-brake? my max is a 5 speed an i dont even se it.

well unless in snow at 40 mph around a coner to drift it out lol

 

 

w00t!!

 

Will be looking for this thread from you in the near future.... "Help! My ebrake is stuck. Why did this happen?!?"

 

Ppl think auto is 5 spd. I got auto and I only use e break when I jack my car up to change my wheels. 5 spd are fun but I don't like Houston traffic. Auto ppl you don't need to use your. E break every time u park

 

cuz you know people like to stretch out that cable so when they DO need it, it doesnt work. i dont use mine unless im on a SERIOUS hill

 

Do you have this on video??? +1 to all the drifting guys. there's no snow in FL but dirt roads and empty softball fields are a blast!
