If you're like me, you immediately imagine yourself in the same predicament when you read tell of
an accident like this - like, you can damn near
feel what Wayne has gone through (and is going through) with this.
I am so sorry you had to experience such a thing - but of course, don't get too rough on yourself
about it, as most anyone who has fooled with things mechanical surely has similar tales to tell.
Most importantly, you survived it!
It's probably best I have a 4 speed in the GTX; I don't even think of exiting the car without stomping on the
parking brake, running or not as a result. Keeps me honest - and has probably saved my arse a time or three.
That habit has spilled over into our daily drivers and such with me, automatics all of them - I still don't trust
them to hold still unless I mash the parking brake.
Wife drove the truck halfway to town with the parking brake on one day after I had been in it... but that's
another story.
Glad you're ok Wayne. The rest is only cubic dollars and elbow grease.
