What kind of a mechanic would suggest that it *wasn't* a good idea to
get the parking brake repaired?? Guy sounds like a lunkhead.

Call it a "parking" brake, but it is also an emergency brake, and
therefore essential. Especially if you ever stop on a hill and need that
hand brake to keep from smashing into the jerk who pulled up to your
bumper while you get the revs up and the clutch engaged...
