Arrgghh!!!
May. 1st, 2009 12:18 pmI was supposed to be at work 15 minutes ago! My car won't go. Called the DH, and of course he couldn't figure it out. If I call AAA, they won't be here before it's too late...
It will *START* but I can't get it out of PARK!!!!! And no one at the store will answer the phone because it's lunch hour.
grrrrr....
*panic*flail*panic*
ETA About 10 or 15 minutes after I posted this, while I was still trying to figure out what to do, my DH came home unexpectedly for lunch. (He usually eats at the office.) We had accidentally switched keys this morning, and since he lost the automatic keypad I used his key to manually open the door. Apparently, I did it wrong and accidentally engaged the anti-theft device, which prevents the car from being put into gear. (I didn't even know the car *HAD* an anti-theft device!) So, I was able to get to work and was only around a half-hour late in the end. Once I explained I'd had car trouble, they were fine with it, so I didn't get in trouble for my lateness.
Still, it was pretty panicky for a while there!
