car dosnt want to move

As dum as this sounds I cant get my car to move… got laid off and now I have absolutely nothing to do, so I decided I would push the car out of the garage to admire it… sooo I start to push nothing happens, so I get under the car and put the tranny in neutral (don’t have the cable hooked up). Get back up and start to push, still nothing… then I realize hey I don’t even have the drive shaft in wtf is going on…. E brake is down, and I don’t see any reason that the brakes would lock up on me… anyone have a clue?

Assuming the parking brake actually released the brake rusy brakes will do it for sure if it hasnt been moved in a while also the tires may have a flat spot from sitting.

Re: car dosnt want to move

The brakes just locked up. It may be due to rust forming it may be due to the ebrake cable not releasing all the way but it has something to do with the brake. Actually when you set the e brake you you do it is pull the ebrake up a few clicks and adjust the cable till it will only rotate in one direction.
