Indeed... note the removed xB badge... I think someone was showing off the Antilock AVCSTNRD-Brake_SuperFeature_Thingy in front of a MACK truck.

brothers from anotha motha. the a$$ end of the new xB is my main beef with it. the new stock xb, the rear looks like it was derived from a grand caravan. right now, in damaged form tho, it looks like the rear end of a jeep.

and yeah it rolled outta the driveway
i thought i ripped the ebrake when i grabbed some spark plugs i picked up outta the passenger seat. musta slipped my mind so i got out and went inside. when i got up about 5 mins later to go get a drink i was like YO WHERES MY BOX!! so i went outside walked down my drive way and it went down my drive way down my front yard across a street over 2 curbs down another driveway through there back yard and into their neighbors fence, i almost cried at the time i had the only one in new york and the TRD drop took a nice chunk outtta the curb and the bush it rolled through. it could have been worse it swerved outta the way of a car and a house and thank god no people were walking. Hopefully allof you will remember to keep ur car in gear after this story haha and its been about 5 weeks and i still dont have it back. and yes i was going to attend the rt 22 scion show but i couldent bring half a car

If someone makes a claim to get something repaired due to your vehicle rolling off on it's own your insurance will go up. You neglected to pull the e-brake, so it is your fault.

I've seen Risky Business. E-brake and in gear at all times when parked. If there was a third option for a triple redundant system, I'd use that too. And I'm from the flatest places on earth, Houston at first and now Florida.
