How hard is it to push your car?
My car is a damn tank to push. I'm an averaged size man (5'10 190 lbs.) I can barely budge my damn car. Its crazy should the damn thing be that hard to push? Think maybe I got the drum brakes set too tight? Any thing else I should look at?

TIA: Jason

Try parking it at the TOP of the hill next time. Better yet, start the car and drive it- much easier than pushing it.
