I mean, is there anything nicer than engaging the gear to P, gripping the handbrake well and just pulling it up hard?
Nothing more satisfying than that. Depending on the car it may also have many "haptic" clicks which also just feels amazing.
Tried the button yesterday, boring and cringe.

never driven a car with an electronic handbrake, tbh
but a perk of having a handbreak you can manually pull is being able to do drifts

I am just now in my car. The dude that changes summer tires to winter tires told me to wait another 55 minutes
This is the only parking brake I’ve owned, seems more sophisticated than people pulling levers
So pushing the P engages the brake and pulling “come hither” with your finger lifts the brake

I have to use it often, I can’t be pulling all the time like a Yugo driver
The button one makes a sound

My car is indicating "Pour wiper fluid" for the first time in 4 years.
But the gas station only has "Summer fluid."
I'll shop around to see if someone has "Winter fluid"

I'm at my wit's end.
Am I allowed to immediately pour Winter fluid on October 31
What if some remains by July 2025, can I spritz winter fluid in the summer

OK The old guy at the Lukoil station suggested I pour nothing until they get the winter one in November
The annoying message will stay at the dash then.
All this happened because I forgot how to put wipers in service mode, so I pushed and held "fluid" without turning off the engine.

Some old git also said to me: "Hey kid! Wanna help me take off my tyres."
So apparently I'm a kid
