Parking brake question

I have 2005 Civic Si and leave the parking brake on when ever it's parked. A
friend of mine keeps telling me it's bad for the brakes. Is this true?

Thanks

Champ Car 2006 By iDT Released For rFactor

The boost can by implemented full time in the setup, just put it on 3. It's
an awesome mod imo. It really takes skill to drive it on the edge. It's in
my HOF!
