But they like to let the engine warm up at times ... so they start the car, put it in neutral ... press the brake pedal to apply brake pressure & flip the switch. Viola ... brakes are on. Then they can get out & let the engine run & warm up.

I've liked this idea for years, but was always warned against it. I was told the pressure could bleed off if the car sits for a long while. IMO if the system is sealed it could not bleed off but others disagree, Your thoughts??
