Disappointed,

My sister drove my dad's car to school. Parked it then went to class.
She came out to move the car before the meter maid came by.

It would not turn over, no click, nothing.

She called my dad, he came from work 20 minutes away.

He got in put the car in park and started it right up. :lol:

That reminds me of the time that another one of my stepdaughters got stuck in our Mercedes after driving it to the store. Would not move. Called me, I drove over to she was, got in the car, started it and moved it no problem. Turns out the girl had been trying to put it in gear while her finger was pushing the park button.

Another time, she drove her own car to the store, parked with the wheels turned full left, and cut the switch off before letting go of the wheel. When she came back out to the car, she could not turn the ignition switch. Her husband tried to explain to her that she needed to turn the steering wheel to the left to take the pressure off, then turn the ignition on. Could not get through to her, so he had to drive to the store himself to rescue her.

I guess we're getting a bit off the original subject of online advice, but it's sort of related?
