Left the handbrake on...

I was driving yesterday and left the handbrake on for about 2.5 miles into my drive, about how much damage would I have caused to the car? Yes, I know I'm a freaking idiot for not noticing for that long.
 
No idea..your rear brakes might be a little more worn than usual, though.

I take it you have an automatic tranny? You definitely would've noticed if it was a manual... 😉
 
I wouldn't worry about it. Obviously its got a little extra wear now.. but as long as it still holds the car...
 
All you did was wear down your brake pads wiredspider, you should have them looked at 🙂
 
A couple of miles won't do a whole lot of damage but it it has been a very long time since the last brake job it wouldn't hurt to pull a drum for inspection and if they are discs just pull the whell and look.
