Also, I don’t know what kind of brake setup this car has, but on many cars with rear wheel disc brakes, the parking brake is like a little miniature drum brake within the rear disc and the shoes on it are very very thin because they’re not actually designed to ever stop the vehicle-- just hold it in place. So if you do one or two of your little tests, you’ll have a worn out parking brake!
