Driving with the emergency brake on
Hi. I wanted to pull my car up a little further into the parking space before I shut it off. I put it into first and moved it a little forward. Then I noticed I had the emergency brake on all the way. I feel very sick and angry that I acccelerated my S2000 with the emergency brake on, I promised myself I would never do this.
Have I done any damage to my car? What could be the possible results of this?

Your car is totaled. Everyone's insurance is going up now, thanks to you.
When I has my 97 Z28, a friend of mine took it out for a ride. He told me my car wasn't as fast off the line as he thought it would have been. I wasnt paying attention and failed to notice that he didnt release the E-brake until we got back to the house.
That was probably a 10 minute drive, stop and go up to 50 mph. The car smelled funny for about 15 minutes after we got back, but the brakes and E-brake functioned as they should afterwards; no problems.
I think you're fine.

I would take it to the dealer and have the brakes inspected
