Hey fellow Lexus drivers... I was curious about how many of you folks use your parking brakes when parking the car? Is it necessary to do? I heard someone say that its always good to do in order to relieve the pressure on the transmission. Is that true? I've had my GS for 2 years and have never done it...am I in for some trouble in the future?

i don't know if it's good or not (i also heard the "rumor" that it's better on tranny but never know the answer), but i always use it whenever i park. to me it's just good practice, like using turn signals

I always use it. Especially if parking on hills, and there are plenty of those where I live.

sounds like a good idea. I think I'll start using it. just have to remember to disengage it when driving. A friend of mine forget to disengage his once and took a 50 mile trip going over 80mph. im sure that must have hurt bad..

I use it every time I park even in my garage.

I use my parking brake whenever there is a grade on the road where I park.
