Well, I thought my engine died when I turned the key and nothing would   
happen.  After getting it towed, I realized I had it Drive.

One day, I was walking through a blizzard in Upstate NY when a middle   
aged guy in his Tercel called me over.  He asked if I ever seen a   
steering wheel lockup.  I told him to turn the ignition key and the wheel   
simultaneously.  He has unbelievable shocked.  He has been trying to   
start his car for about 2 hours.
