   I'm with Paul on this one.
   I'm not exactly 'captain safety', but I'm a big fan of parking 
brakes. I used to have a T-Bird that would pop out of Park pretty 
regularly, and I've driven a lot of cars with dubious brakes. It's not 
so bad to have the emergency brake out of service if your car's a 
Standard, but no brakes whatsoever can get pretty stressful with a 
torqueflite.

  Plus, there's the various utility functions, and being able to park 
on a slope w/o straining the park pawl.
