The E-brake
OKAY I LIVE IN CANADA ONTARIO, AND YES THERE IS ALOT OF FRIGGIN SNOW~ AND I AM A PIZZA DRIVER AND IT TENDS TO GET BORING SO I HAVE MASTERED THE E- BRAKE DRIFT AROUND THE CORNERS, BY DOING THIS IS IT BAD FOR THE E BRAKE, I DONT DO IT EVERY CORNER BUT WHEN I KNOW THE AREA GOOD ENOUGH I WILL PULL IT HERE AND THERE. I ONLY DO IT WHEN THERES PACKED SNOW OR FRESH SNOW NEVER ON PAVEMENT, SO IS IT GOOD TO PULL THE E-BRAKE?

theres nothing wrong with doing it except that it can cause the ebrake cable to get slack in it.
also, WHY ARE YOU TALKING IN ALL CAPS? IF YOUR KEYBOARD IS BROKEN, THEN OK. GET A NEW ONE THEN, HELL..I'LL SEND YOU ONE ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS PAY FOR SHIPPING. IF NOT, THEN BY INTERNET ETTIQUETTE STANDARDS YOU ARE YELLING AT THE WHOLE FORUM WHICH ISN'T COOL.
the caps lock button is next to the a key.

i'm not trying to be an *** or anything...but its just easier to read. I know you're probably excited and everything, but i know a lot of members will be more willing to help you out and not flame you for whatever if you type like a normal person. just a word of advice for ya.
They're called hand-brake turns everwhere else, It's always puzzled me why you call it the emergency brake, it's the LAST thing i'd want to pull in an emergency!
Shouldn't do any real damage though unless you knock your rear wheel on a kerb or something.
Would cause extra wear on rear tyres (not a typo just the proper English spelling of tires!) and may lead to them needing to be balanced cause of uneven wear, though on slippery conditions wear would be minimum.
Also when you pull the brake hold the button in otherwise you'd wear out the ratchet.
I prefer lift-off-oversteer to handbrake turns
