Forgetting to pull the parking brake....

Am I the only person that does this like once every 2 years? Thankfully it wasn't in my 1M, and there was no damage...but I do wonder what would have happened if my garage door had not stopped it!

I've done many stupid things in my life, but leaving a MT car whose engine was turned off, without the parking brake engaged, plus the car in gear, is not one of them.

No, I always put parking brake on, even in automatics. I did have a brand new Acura TSX one time that had a terrible parking brake. I think it used the only the disk pads unlike our cars that have a built in drum also. Anyway, I was coaching soccer and one of the parents says, hey coach, isn't that your car rolling away? I look up and there was my tsx rolling down the hill ever so slowly with the parking brake set, but I left in neutral. That's when I realized genius of our drum disk system.

Lucky that door stopped it.

I actually had a guy holding a shower glass door above his head at my front door - and i got home late so I raced in the house to open the front door. I actually did pull the brake - just not high enough apparently!

This very thing happened to me. Bolt did a number on the rear bumper. I took it to a top quality auto repair company and have been waiting over a month for my car. First bumper they received was damaged. They had to order a new one from Germany and it's been back-ordered. Can't wait to get my car back. Bumper is supposed to come in today. Just received my Akrapovic slip-on and can't wait to get it installed!

No, but I've forgotten to take the FOB out of the slot many times.
