That is awesome. Talk about giving THE MAN the finger! Good work, SVO engineers. I want to put one of those on my shelf!

I've had a car that if you didn't set the handbrake before putting it in park and you were parked at on a hill, you weren't going anywhere without someone pushing you a couple of inches to release the pressure on the parking pawl ... yes it was an old car ... there are old cars out there ... there will always be old cars out there ... this isn't a good thing

What they mean is a parking brake operated by hand. Any number of new cars including the Legacy we have for DE has an electronic parking brake with a push button. No more hand-brake 180s!

it's never a wasted day as long as I learn something new
