To put your mind at ease, I used to own a 1992 Accord LX. I was living with
my parents at the time and my mother would use the car every once in a
while. She does not set the parking brake on any cars she drives. I always
set the parking brake. Needless to say whenever she got in the car she was
not in the habit of releasing the parking brake. Many times she has driven
a half mile or so until she finally realized it. Well, my sister currently
drives the car with about 250k miles on it. There has never been any
problems with the rear axles, and the brakes didn't even wear out sooner.
