My vehicle has a gear shift (standard) that is MacGyvered together and slips out of commission sometimes...unfortunately on Friday afternoon at rush hour it happened as I was trying to get onto Joe Howe from some smaller street and I had to glide backwards and onto a small street to get out of the way. Two fellas in a white van got out and helped me. Thanks guys! A few minutes later it happened again about 20 feet onto Joe Howe and a helpful dude with shades and an iPod helped me shove that beast up to an apartment building parking lot on a slight incline. What a pain. Thanks a bunch to you as well. I will be working on a more permanent fix this weekend. —Black Mazda Tribute
