Oh yeah. Hard for me to picture ice in my brake drums right now around here. :-) I forget sometimes that there are rumors of other countries outside of America with different climates. ;-)

Emergency brake off ? When was the last time you drove it ?

I'll bet you left your emergency brake on and it froze up. Get a big hammer and crawl under the car and give the brake drums a few good whacks. Tap the emergency brake lever. Go for a nice ride. Boston? Well, go for a careful ride! You are more likely to be hit in one of those insane Round-A-Bouts than hit by drop of water under Niagra falls.

You mean there are countries outside America?!?!

Christ, what will they think of next!

Try sticking a punch through the slots in the rear wheels, and strike the punch with a hammer. sometimes if it sits with the e-brake on it will stick. Hope this works for you.

Try pushing the car out of gear with the emergency brake off. Rock it back and forth. Find someone to help with the pushing. Hammer the drums more and repeat. Getting it unstuck by slowly letting out the clutch, engine on and in gear, is a last resort because you could damage your brake shoes.

We call them rotaries.

Oh. I'm stuck in the British mode.

If you've ever come into town via Rt. 2 and Mem. Drive, you'll have negotiated the Twin Turbos of Terror at Fresh Pond. Just close your eyes and step on the gas :-0

They even have them in Nebraska. We just refer to them as circle jerks.

And an ACVW is what, Bumsenkopf?

.............Hah!...........We call them 'those traffic circles that people from New England can't figure out".

..............We actually have a 'dead man's curve' in Binghamton. They're planning to get rid of our traffic circle though......

HEY! Damn..... ....got me on that one.....

Or better, a way to keep people from "those countries" from emigrating to N. America.

HEY NOW! Us silly furriners need a place where we can feel superior!

Thats why Al Gore invented Antartica.
