In FWD cars you can use it to do standing burnouts (works best when front wheels are on a slightly slippery surface). Apply e-brake when at full stop, then drop the clutch! Just remember to renew your membership in the transmission of the month club.

I can relate to this, back when I had my 1991 Integra the master cylinder had a "catastrophic" failure while I was driving. If not for the quick application on my E-brake I would not be here today.
