Yup, I was surprised at how many people do not use the e-brake. Myself use it EVERY time the car is parked. It's become a force of habig by now.

As do I. Hell, in Europe, you can and will get a fine if you DON'T use the e-brake. By law you have to when you park.

Ok let me gets this straight..

All they are pretty much saying is that they key can be pulled out of the ignition. This is a common problem on millions of ford vehicles, everyone one i owned didnt even need a key to start it(and i had three).
