what the heck is the deal with this?
I pull up to my house this morning and i go to turn off the car (it turns off) but the key won't turn far enough for me to take it out of the ignition. It's locked in the "run" position. I can only turn the car on, and turn the car off. But i CAN'T have my key.
LOL
am i just totally screwed...or is there a trick to make this work?

I really would like to NOT have my car stolen.
 
it is in park, that's what's so scary.
LOL

i was waiting for someone to ask where i live.
HaHa. :D

But you know what? maybe i should move the gear selector back and forth and see if that loosens something?

Try that. Seems that the protection mechanism that keeps the key from coming out while in drive or reverse might be stuck.
 
sometimes my 94 gives me trouble like that. From time to time, i have to push it into park really hard to be able to get the key out. I have a spare shifter setup in my garage, i just havent had the patience to take it all apart yet.
