Did you have to replace anything?

Worst case scenario you'd need to replace the brake pads, but that's a routine service item. You're not going to damage or break anything by doing that, although it will cause brake and tyre wear.

I was watching a Moto-GP race a few weeks ago and one of the bikes had a complete rear-brake failure. It trailed around for a couple of laps at 100% rear brake, with the rear disc glowing red hot. Eventually the rock or whatever it was came loose, the brake disengaged and the rider continued on his way. Not only way the bike completely fine, the rider didn't lose much time.

I damaged my brake pads. Thats what my mechanic told me.

As long as the wheel bearings aren't overheated and you can still brake, there isn't much to be worried about.
I'd still check on those rear brakes regardless

Figures. You would have put a lot of wear and heat through them, and probably taken them way beyond their intended limits.

Already checked the handbrake, it works perfectly fine. Only had the car like 5 days so it's in perfect condition (well, near perfect i guess.. the moment you start driving stuff starts to wear down)

Good times :)

My bro drove about 20 miles in 4x4 low @ about 50mph. He thought it had a sensitive clutch.. lol.

You should have your license revoked.

I see far worse driving on a daily basis.

He can't be serious

I hope he's not. Driving 10 metres (METRES!) with the handbrake partly engaged is one of the most minor mistakes you can make \o/
