    A friend of mine took a power seat mech,made it smaller & att. the E-brake cables to it. It's all mounted under the car & engages with a push of a button.

    Well I would magine the car won't start(LOL) But really that sounds like it might be pretty neat, only problem I could see if is the battery does go dead you couldn't push start it (but most of us old lazy farts are runnin automatics anyway)

    Cool concept, but does it pass inspection? And also, those power seat mechanisims arent waterproof. You might want to seal the assembly before it rains/snows.
