Bryant told me that it's fine to put all the weight of the car on the parking paw.

LOL@ Corey! You sure he said that? I seem to remember otherwise...
Congrats Alex. Try replacing the ebrake shoes. That'll be sure to tighten the ebrake nice and tight. This is something that me and Slick know very well.

found this in WIKI
The parking pawl locks the transmission's output shaft to the transmission casing by engaging a pawl (a pin) that engages in a notched wheel on the shaft, stopping it (and thus the driven wheels) from turning.
Most manufacturers and mechanics do not recommend using the transmission's parking pawl as the sole means of securing a parked vehicle, instead recommending it should be engaged after first applying the vehicle's parking brake. Constant use of the parking pawl only, especially when parking on a steep incline, means that driveline components are kept constantly under stress, and can cause wear and eventual failure of the parking pawl or transmission linkage. The pawl might also fail or break if the vehicle is pushed with sufficient force, if the parking brake is not firmly engaged. Replacement can be an expensive operation since it generally requires removing the transmission from the car.
It is also not recommended to use the parking pawl to stop a vehicle in motion. The pawl mechanism is not strong enough to stop a vehicle in motion or may not engage at all. Under that much stress, the pawl may break off in the transmission, leading to costly repairs.

yep. well, atleast in the 00 and up. All four hubs have sensors, all four brake systems trigger independantly to slow the car down. Both half-shafts create drag on each front wheel independantly. The beauty of TRAC, huh?

I know in Phoenix, if your car rolls out of park and causes damage and the e-brake is not set, you are ticketed for failure to control your vehicle.
