Thanks much! Sorry for the long reply. I'm so new to all this car stuff and it can get daunting.

Hopefully I'll have a new brake system (and parking brake) my mid-april (I'm crossing my fingers anyhow)

Oh yeah about the E-brake issue..If you jack up the car and get under it and look just above the drivshaft about a foot or 2 behind where the E-brake hanle meets the floor you should see a 2 way cable splitter for it..You might have just one of the cables popped out of it..You will have to take out the console to loosen up the cable from the pull handle and then you can reconect the cable underneath..You may want to take a pair of pliers and pinch the tips of the t-bar splitter closer together so it wont pop out agian..Then you can hook it back up to the handle and adjust it to the tightness you like..If the person before you tried to do a power slide with the E-brake that is what caused it..That wopuld be why they call it a Parking Brake or a emergency brake not a Power slide handle..Hope this helps..
