So no problem  Following it strictly for long time (except for some emergencies, both ways). Learnt from my Father.

| Re: Strange Habits of Car Lovers Being late makes it easy to say, "All the above". But I really loved reading the posts. I am not sure if someone had posted it already - I don't trust drivers of dealers to pick / drop up car from home for service. |

| Re: Strange Habits of Car Lovers Agree.
Nothing is more painful than parking the car without any shade for the whole day. I have started coming in early to office to partially shady place. The best thing about it is, this has become a habit for me and I am able to complete prioritization & delegation before my team comes in. |

Escaped that day and since then I drive to office on 2 wheels |

| Re: Strange Habits of Car Lovers The manual says the parking brake needs to be pulled directly while engaging (no need to press the button at the end while engaging), while disengaging press the button and push it down.
How many of us push the button even while engaging the parking brake to avoid the krrr sound ! |
