Got to the other side, all of the riders rode off but the car never moved. A few of us went back to see what was wrong. The parking brake on the Subaru is electronic and wouldn't come off. Everyone was on their smartphones calling for advice. The ferry guys were freaking out because nothing could come or go while the car was stalled. Finally I suggested we disconnect the battery and see if it reboots. We did, the brake came off, and off they went. Electronics are fine but not for parking brakes!!!
