I would check your rear brakes first. |

Very true, your hand brakes are only as good as your rear brake pads, if they are worn down then your hand (emergency) brakes won't work very well.

Tim, I have a question. You have an automatic. Why do you care about the ebrake? |

Dom thinks you've yanked the ebrake a few to many times.  |

It's not going to, either. Our e-brakes aren't going to brake the tires loose so you can drift. |

Downshift it, floor it, and turn the wheel the other way!  |
