I am reading this and I get to the end and I start lol. Dh wants to know what is so funny. So I read the whole thing to him. He smiles no laugh. I say come on you know this is funny.

Fast forward a few weeks and we go out to eat. I park on an incline that is so steep my ds says why didn't they spend a little more money and level this out. It was a new restaurant. We come out and get in the car. I promise it was at least an hour later. They were very slow. I put the car in reverse back out of the parking spot. I am about to pull out of the parking lot when my car starts beeping very loudly. Real loud I look at the control panel and it says in big read letters "RELEASE PARKING BRAKE !".

Ok maybe it didn't say release parking brake but it did say the parking brake was on. I started laughing and said at least this car tells you what you are doing wrong.

Did I mention my last truck we had to replace the parking brake cable. I guess I drove with it on to many times. It never beeped or told me it was on.

I looked at dh and said now do you think that story was funny. He said maybe. I did and laughed some more.
