Don't feel too bad. There was one time I had the Mustang at the Shell station there in Kingston. I filled up and then couldn't get it to start. There was nothing.

When my Grandfather got there, he had me take it out of park and put it back into park to try again. Still nothing. He had me put it in neutral and then it started right up. That's when I found out my Mustang would be in park but just not all the way sometimes.

Of course, then there was the time I left the bank, got in the Mustang, and it started. The keys, I should mention, were still in my pocket. That one was pretty exciting ;)

LOL! Maybe that's what really happened to the engine - it was damaged fighting Decepticons! I should hurry up and get it running again, the safety of the world depends on it ;)
