dragging noise- parking brake?
10 days ago i parked and put on my parking brake (MT). i came back out to my car and it was stuck. i backed up several times until it finally broke loose.
later that night i was pulling into a parking spot and heard a noise from beneath the car that sounded like i was dragging something plastic. i got out to look and saw nothing.
then yesterday i was driving home and heard a pop (not very loud) and then a similar noise, like i was dragging something under the passenger side of the car. i pulled over and saw nothing under the car.
the noise went away eventually and the car seems to drive normal.
i think it might be related to the parking brake, but i'm not sure how. any ideas? thanks in advance!

The 850 has a history of the parking brake system coming apart. The cables snap, pads come apart, they lock up wheels, etc. You have to take the rear hubs off to see what's going on. Maybe you can search parking+brake and read through some of those threads.
