A Columnist Makes the Case for the Lever Between the Seats

A columnist at The Drive has picked a cause that sits just a few inches from the shifter: the mechanical parking-brake lever. Most enthusiast campaigning goes to keeping the clutch pedal and the stick shift alive, but this writer argues that the pull-up handle deserves the same loyalty, and believes its future isn't settled yet. Any owner who knows the click of that ratchet under their palm, in a garage in Naples or a driveway in Aspen, will be glad to see a familiar control get an advocate of its own.
