It was a shock to me, too, man. I don't like it. Not one bit.
Having a hand-brake lever to my right should mean that I can actually use it, like Jim Rockford intended. But you can't... it's pointless. All show.
It's one of my more significant gripes with the car. A lesser one would be the lack of a heated steering wheel. (Far lesser, LOL) Oh, and the way the passenger seat belt doesn't nicely tuck between the seat and the B-pillar after someone uses it. That really annoys me, too. And the way dirt collects at the rear bumper just under the trunk... hate that. And sometimes how the car boots up without a functioning radio; (rare, but it happens.)

Ah, the Caddy that zigs! Car got a bad rep, but I rather liked it. That, and the Alante drop-top.
That's not at all what I've experienced with my 6MT. And it's not what my INFINITI Service tech told me, either, when I had the parking brakes serviced last year. You know, I'm not so proud as to avoid learning something here, but I'm highly skeptical that you can use this parking brake system to drift. I certainly can't use it that way. Way too weak, and not what those little pads are designed for... or so I was told.

Guys, I ordered a set of 19" Vossen's today, shipped with a full set of PSS mounted and balanced, ready to go on the car.
And now I would really, really like winter to end, please.

It's not just the snow. Not safe to run summers when it's below freezing out, and it's always below freezing it seems this winter.I'm just going to arrange them in the family room, and eye-**** these wheels for another month. It's going to get weird before it gets normal again.

On another note, I'm going to upstate NY next weekend (not this one) and they have been getting a lot of snow(all roads are/were blocked at least today) and probably more to come so I wanna get tire chains just incase so therefore I have a question regarding tire chains hence the fact it is stated on amazon to find out if your tires can be equipped with chains, check your vehicle's maintenance or owner's manual and verify that it contains no warnings advising against the installation of snow chains
any help is appreciated.

Watching him pull past the 3-series vert at 2:30, priceless. And he almost lost it at 3:30.
And seeing that GTR pull away effortlessly from him at 5:50... wow. Car sounds real nice, don't you think? Although without the 6MT, it just looks like a video game. (A helluva video game.)
Would have been even more cool if he had the track on his NAV screen.
"Tires are cooked. Time to head back to the pits" -- LOL
Cool post, Alfredo.
