mm lets see, how many wish list buzzers does this make it now?

1. lights left on buzzer
2. key in left in ignition buzzer
3. low oil pressure buzzer
4. hand brake on buzzer

you might consider adding these also:

6. pop top not latched buzzer
7. extension cord still in electrical port buzzer
8. stall warning buzzer

maybe cognitive therapy would be easier :)

This is the third time I've forgotten to take off the parking brake
before driving. It's not like the brakes are so monstrous that I'll
notice on the first quarter-mile downhill away from the house, and my
sitting position places the steering wheel right between the dash Brake
light and my eyesballs.

I'm gonna rig some alarm to sound when the Brake warning light is on and
the transmission is in gear.

Mellow Yellow has an automatic transmission, and the starter won't turn
if the van is not in Park, so there's some wire that connects to a
switch on the shift linkage or something. I can't find that wire in
Bentleys.
