Poor College Kid
Hey guys what's up. So tonight I went to my girlfriends house, and her driveway was just a complete sheet of ice. I went to pull out got stuck, spent about 15 minutes trying to get out, and in the end, ended up getting out by pouring cat litter on the ice and having her sit on the hood lol. Anyway, in the heat of the moment I was aggravated because we were going to be late so as I was getting out of the car I pulled the ebrake pretty hard (harder than usual, not violently). After we got out, I drove to where we were going, stayed there for about 1.5 hours, came out, went to drive away and noticed my right rear tire wasn't spinning, just dragging on the ground. Pulled over, looked at it and decided there wasn't anything I could do right there, so I pulled back out on the pavement. I was going pretty slow, and the tire was spinning but it make a squeal with every rotation (sounds likes stuck drum brakes do) as I sped up, the noise went away, and maybe 10-15 seconds later, the resistance was completely gone, even if i slowed to a stop again. But, now my ebrake doesn't work at all, it has no stopping power. So my question is, did I manage to wear down the rear brakes so much that they don't work at all and I can't notice because 80% of braking power is the front wheels, or did they just become unstuck and it's nothing to worry about, except fixing my e-brake. Thanks for the help, sorry for such a long story!
