ashamed to admit it

I hate to admit it too, but I did that in a brand new BMW M3 once by mistake.
One of the techs had a customers 2-3 month old M3 in for the brakes not feeling right when hot, so we took a new one off the lot to compare them. It turned into a high speed lapping race to get them real good and hot, then we jumped out, switched cars real fast and zipped away to do another lap, then switch cars again to compare the brake feel. After doing this 5-6 times, I jumped in the new one and forgot to release the pb to realize about a minute later and stopped in front of the dealer with a smoking car. It was quite embarrasing and I was cheered by the other techs watching. I got to replace the brakes on the new car. They didn't let me live that down for a little bit, lol...

i'm sure that didn't cost them much LOL

It wasn't bad, new shoes and cleaned the glaze off the inner surface. It's a drum inside the rotor set-up for the parking brake on them. The springs were the pita part to do I thought. Parts were at dealer cost which is lower than jobber pricing/retail... :eyeroll:
