Home Again

This morning we woke up and got ready for a romp in the snow. We pile in the car and Hector turns on the car but the gear shift won't budge. He tries again but the shifter still is stuck. The funny think is that the light showed the car is in drive but the shifter was in the park position. Our friend Dan and his kids are waiting for us but we're stuck! After a few minutes we tell Dan to go ahead because we have to call a tow truck which really bummed Tyler out. We call AAA and also Lupe to drive us home. The tow truck driver arrives but he can't do anything since the car won't shift to neutral! Finally Hector calls the dealer where we bought our car which is still under warranty. After being switched around, Hector talks to someone who knows what is going on. He finds a switch on the steering column and it releases the shifter. Phew! The guy said it was a freak thing but we will take it in to have it checked out because the warranty expires next month! Hector drives the truck home while the kids and I ride with Lupe. Our snow day was cancelled but we're safe at home.
