What's the worst thing that could happen to your car mechanically by doing e-brakes when it's snowy/slushy.
I just want to know whether I should be doing them or not...but they're so much fun!

break the e-brake cable.

and how much would it cost to fix that?
if you're gentle I don't see breaking it...maybe stretching it a little bit.
Resurrected from the dead
some ppl tend to pull the ebrake really hard and they snap the cable or break some other component that links the handle to the brakes.
but worse yet, u could get into an accident while screwing around

or you can twist the chassy, but that would have to be a pretty shitty car.

allright, well I don't see hitting a curb or anything because I usually have pretty good control over the car...
I usually reverse into my driveway so I've been practicing cruising up the street doing ~40, pulling the e-brake, sliding sideways for ~20 feet and then stopping her perpendiculary to the driveway right where I have to reverse into my spot.
I just wanted to make sure there would be no problems doing this...I'm pretty damn good at it right now and I haven't practiced that much because I like the road to be nice and slick.

I'd be more worried about hitting something than breaking your e-brake cable. Get car control skills, THEN start messing around. And no, on the street or in a parking lot full of curbs are NOT good places to learn car control.

Just be careful as it seems as though, Curb always wins!

chassis ... tied rod ends
haha my tie rod ends got messed last year cause i was doin sno drift

the ebrake cable doesn't break that easily
just messes up your steering column and might twist chassis
screws up your allignment!! which means coughing up another 60 bucks 2 get it alligned =P

if ur going fast enough, then u dont need the e-brake to turn

Nothing should happen. I do it sometimes when I start slipping and can't make the turn.
I've NEVER heard of anyone bending their chassis...lol
The only thing i'd be worried about is hitting a car or a curb while doing it...but then again, you deserve it if you try and brake while turning into a crowded street.

My friend had a GTI and thought it was be fun to do some 'drifting' with some ebraking in the winter. He thought he could 'drift' into a cul-de-sac but he hit a mailbox. It's fun, but could be dangerous.
