Cool.

I'll be adventurous and try using the park brake before turning off the engine (when I'm driving by myself) to see if the problem really has been fixed.

Since the workaround is so effortless, I'll use that method when applying the brake when there are passengers in the car.

Just curious. Is there any truth to this statement:
"It is important to apply your parking brake when you park. It will protect your gears from stripping".

A Caddy mechanic told me that this was true when on any sort of incline. He said, if you noticed that when you set a car in park, then let off the brakes that you'll notice the car roll slightly. It puts the gears in a wrong position and when re-engaging the gears cause slight unnecessary rubbing. Over a long period of time this may lead to a slight stripping of the gear. He claims the parking brake will prevent this shift.

His explanation does make some sense. What are your takes?

rh71. I just took delivery of the car over the weekend I didn't want to say anything on the board until I get some pictures of it. Hopefully I'll have some time this weekend. The car is awesome. Just not fond of the gas consumption though.
