Parking Brake
I just purchased a new home and the driveway is quite steep. I'm concerned about the parking brake. The car is a 6 speed and does anyone know how to adjust it?

I'd take it to the dealer unless you're mechanically inclined. The brake needs to be adjusted (physically adjust the shoe position with the wheels off) and then the cable that connects to the handle. Do a search -- sometime over the last month or so Jens H posted a nice summary on how to do it yourself (or you can check the Helm manual).

Under the center console there should be bolts to tighten the cable. I use to tighten my GSR on my own. Have the dealer do it if your not comfortable.

I believe you can tighten it up (adjust it) by backing up slowly and applying the parking brake. Someone confirm this though . Always put the car into 1st gear or reverse after you apply the parking brake
