dang, that 25-40 MPG mustve been a hell of a ride

but there should really be too much damage to your car. how hard was the ebrake pulled up? did you smell anything afterward?

i didn't pull hard at all, like just merely clicking the button let the lever fall down... also, there wasn't any smell.

You probably just did barely any damagae, besides our back brakes are drums so you might have just spaced them out or took a couple hundred miles of the pad if that, lol, no big deal or anything to worry about at all.
