Thought I broke it...

I was at the grocery store, and this douchebag was cruising around the lot with a Hyundai with the really loud fart pipe, and he kept mashing it so all could hear.

As I was leaving I yanked the shifter down into L1, and pushed the pedal through the floor right as I went by where he'd parked and was getting out. The front tires skittered a little, that holed-out airbox barked and she lunged like a scared cat, put on a nice display

But when I got to the street I went to put it back in D,and the shifter wouldn't move I rattled it around a bit and then the idiot lights all came on and I thought the engine died, but it was still running.

So I shut it off, then the shifter moved back to P for me, and started the motor and everything was normal again. The only thing different I've noticed is the very slight "hitch" I was feeling for a couple of months when putting the car in park before turning the motor off is now gone...I suppose the ignition/column lock mechanism was hung up a bit.

Well, it's fine now, so screw it

Sounds like you might have bound up a motor mount, or you have a torque strut going bad. When you shut 'er down, it shifted back into position and all is good. Quit trying to out-ricer a ricer, and you won't have these problems.

No, not me sir. It was hung up inside the column, I could feel it.

Never!
