Default Looking for speed breakers in Atlanta

Hey guys,
I am looking for a speedbreaker for my driveway, which is on a significant uphill.
Couple of days ago, my beemer (6spd) rolled down the driveway, across the street into a ditch in the backyard of the house across from me.

So right now, I am looking for a speedbreaker, that I can driveover, and let the tires lean on it, when I pull up.

Kinda like this one:

Any other ideas?<ul><li><a href="http://www.tradeindia.com/selloffer/1597621/Rubber-Speed-Breakers.html">http://www.tradeindia.com/selloffer/1597621/Rubber-Speed-Breakers.html</a</li></ul>

Not to be coarse, but what about the parking brake?

What are they called? Like if I go to an auto store, what do I ask for?

Thanks for the tips guys.

Default You have a different problem then- P-brake out of adjustment, whatever-

I've NEVER had the TT or the Avant roll on p-brake and gearbox engaged. Either your p-brake is worn or misadjusted, or you have another issue. 40 years of driving: they don't fail unless you ice the road.

Default wheel chalks.

Also, if try responding in the "subject" line. It makes things a little easier to read ;-)
