would pulling on the e-brake in a quattro be a bad thing ? ... i wouldn't think so ... but i have no idea

Actually I've heard its really bad, from Subaru guys. Screws up the differential because the computer is confused about why the wheels are locked....or something.

Suburu and Audi AWD are not the same.. The differential and all parts in the quattro system are purely mechanical.

I JUST painted my car.... Ya know what, since it only cost me $60, I think I'm gonna go and play in the snow.

I don't pull the ebrake when I'm moving. If I want the back end to come out, drop a gear and floor it, the wheels will break loose and I can slide all I want.
