as I posted earlier, I forgot to put on my e-brake and my car rolled to the next house where it hit a tree. I was so pissed. I am the biggest idiot ever...yes I know...go ahead tell me how dumb I am.

So.. um.. does the "PARKING" automatic transmission actually "lock" the wheels or nah? I always use the E-brake, but just wondering... What does the PARKING option do braking wise?

It locks the tranny and driveshaft i think, thats why you bounce back and forth when you put it into park really fast

park on an auto does the following to stop your car from going (please note that I know excessively little about cars firsthand and am open to correction):

locks the transmission into place by inserting a pin through a hole in a gear (or something very similar to that). I am told that if you are going too fast when you shift into park you can snap this pin and then park = neutral.
