Boxer Insane
Today I drove into town in my OH's Jeep Grand Cherokee which is automatic - I usually drive a manual car.
Anyway, I have an appointment at 10am and the first carpark I went to was full, so I drove to another and found a space. I turned off the engine but couldn't get the key out of the ignition. I was turning it this way and that and it was now 5 mins to 10am! So I tried to turn the engine back on and start again but just got a flashing light on the dash of a key with a cross through it!
I was panicking - I couldn't leave the car and I couldn't drive the car anywhere.
So I rang my OH and he didn't know what I should do. Then he said 'have you left it in gear?' - I looked down and the stick was in Drive not in Park. I moved it to Park and lo and behold I could get the key out!
The funny thing is I was on my way to the hairdresser to have blonde hi-lights put in my hair - truly a blonde moment I think!
