I have to park my car in gear.
Subarus are the same way, small drum on the inside if the rotor hat.
Lexus/Supra is the same way.. havent broken mine though... **knocks on desk**
Slightly off topic but my 02 WRX is nothing like that... Infact when I get a wild hair and decide to mess around with AWDrifting I go to a gravel parking lot and yank the shit outta my e-brake... I have also used it to initiate on wet pavement in the subby. But thats just because its sooooo hard to get a 227HP AWD car to start a slide... As my friends and I call them they are the noob corrector... You just drive at a turn and press the accellerator and the CD/2xLCDs take care of everything for you.

Isn't it incredibly bad for the center diff to pull the e-brake like that?

Go for massive clutch kicks. That was the best way I found to slide all-wheel drive.

My Z32 also has E-brake shoes in the rotors and I've used it in the rain but it scares me to even think of using it in the dry.
