Resistance to barrie is futile. You will be assimilated.... ;D
The search for intelligent life is sometimes frustrating but never futile.  I'm just trying to figure out if his mind normally wanders or if it's simply the signs of 1st stage senility.  :hide:   If it ever appears like it is futile, I'll :surrend:  and go to .  I have a bit of patience but I'm no glutton for punishment.

Just btw.   Many small French cars I have driven seem to lift the rear of the car when one heaves on the parking brake.  Must be the geometry of the brake cables pulling the rear "axle" against the control arms of something. Feels weird until one gets used to it.
