This thread reminds me that I probably need to adjust the parking brake on my truck. Due to lifelong habit, I use it when I park on my driveway (sloped) but not in the garage (level). Which leads to forgetting to release the brake sometimes when taking off from the driveway. Its not until I get on the next street over that I notice the red brake light on the dash. The fact that I get that far without smelling my brakes or noticing sluggish driving tells me its probably not doing a whole lot of good. So, of course, I soon forget about it and repeat again the next day. This has been going on for several years now.
