Amnesia 失憶症

I: My car's hand brake locked up, couldn't be released.
Toll-free call service center: Your car has past our free service period, and because hand brake will lock up all four wheels, so towing your car needs to lift up all its four wheels, and the towing fee will be charged according to your parking situation.
(I parked closely between two neighboring cars, and the front side can not be approached, to lift my car would be a little complicated.)
I: I think I had better find another way to solve this problem, Thank You!

(Call dealer's repair shop)
I: I couldn't release my hand brake, I stepped it heavier, it not only will not release, but locked even tighter.
Serviceman: What's your car model?
I: G Car.
Serviceman: Find the hand bar just left your steering wheel, pulling it would release the hand brake.
I: I can't remember there is a hand bar.
Serviceman: Just in the left hand of....
(A bar with a big 'P' sign on it emerged in my head)
I: I got it! I got it! Thank You!

I have been driving this car for many years, and never have I forgotten how to release hand brake. How could this have happened?
I have ever driven a C-Car for only two days before, why suddenly I only remember its hand brake release method, and forget my own car's?
我:我車子的手剎車鎖住了,沒辦法釋放.
免費電話服務中心:你的車子已經過了免費服務期間,因手剎車會把四個輪子都鎖住,所以拖吊時需把四個輪子都抬高,拖吊費要看停車的狀況才能決定.
(我緊鄰左右二部車子停車,而且車前方沒有通道,要拖吊應該有點麻煩.)
我:我想我還是找其他處理方式好了,謝謝!

(打電話到車商的修理廠.)
我:我的手剎車沒辦法鬆開,我踩的越重,它不但不鬆開而且鎖得更緊.
服務人員:你的車型是?
我:G車.
服務人員:找到方向盤左邊的手拉桿,往上拉就可以鬆開了.
我:我想不起哪裡有手拉桿. 服務人員:就在左邊....
(一塊有大 'P'記號的拉桿浮現腦際.)
我:我想起來了!我想起來了!謝謝!

這部車我已經開很多年了,從沒忘記怎麼釋放手剎車,怎麼會發生這種事?
C-車我以前只開過二天,何以突然間我只記得它的手剎車釋放方式,而忘記自己車子的手剎車釋放方式?
