whoooo!

Well, over the weekend, the car decided to jam in 1st again... at least this time, I figured out how, why, and what I could do to avoid it in the future...

After a long limp home with the car (three and a half hours through blizzard conditions for 70 miles, weeeee), and during the week, I was able to get the jammed gear rod free and restore functionality to the car as of tonight.

So, I have my car back... but yesterday was my birthday, and I didn't manage to get out to celebrate or anything, so hopefully we'll do so tomorrow.
