    I love my new Kia, but it has one of those Emergency Brakes/Parking Brakes that you engage by stepping on a pedal, and disengage by stepping on the pedal more! Who came up with that????

    My Aurora has the same thing.

    My dad used to have a dune buggy that had two ebrake levers, one for each rear wheel.

    I was intended to boost the offroad prowess of the car a bit, it ended up being used for "delinquent purposes" more often then not.

    I wish he still had that car...

    I remember old Toyota trucks (i think) had a handbrake that was unde the dash on the right of the steering wheel. You pulled it towards you and turned it to lock it in.
