Ok I drift on snow... I have a Ford Focus and I love to drift with it. I only do it when it is slippery enough so i think the car will be okay. Anyway I turn with my wheel and I pull the e-brake to lock the rear brakes. Its pretty cool because I can handle it but what bad can happen other than crashing into things? Will I snap a cable or something? Let me know some more please. Oh yeah... my car is a stock. no performance added in it.

it shouldnt matter much. you might get a little more wear and tear on the rear brakes, but not enough to amount to anything, especially on snow/ice. its possible to snap a cable, but not likely. the only other thing might be rust developing on the cable. if you expose part or the cable to moisture and salt, it may try to rust and lock your cable in place. just look out for that, and maybe put some grease on it every once in a while. if it doese go bad, the cable isnt too expensive, but it can be a pain to re-route it through the firewall.

nothing will happen, you will obviously experience accellerated tire wear from sliding, and the linings on the rear brakes will wear, but not substantially more than just stopping normally. unless you have rear disc brakes, then you need to know if the e brake activates the rear calipers, or if you have the internal mini drum brakes inside the rear rotors. i dont know on a ford focus.

technique of removal first consistently bear in mind gasoline ,air,and spark is all you obtain to have so the two :water in gasoline ,grimy gasoline clear out,ignition problems including module,plugs n wires,cap n rotor , all that are oftentimes replaced in a music up or purely a trouble-free old undesirable workstation all of which could be got here upon by skill of a unfastened engine test on the aspects save thats assuming you dont have a foul wheel bearing which does no longer clarify loss of power. maximum newer autos have 5 pin diagnostic plug below sprint .

Well you will really wear down the gears and brakes and when you park your car on a incline the brakes might not be able to hold it.
