Did a service call to my DW in distress-the X5 wouldn't start could I come and boost the GDXX%%?? thing, the yellow light on the dash is on, and I can't leave the car cause the GD??XX key won't come out of the igniton. Cranked up the diesel, found the booster cables, and attended the very warm scene. I ,being the genius I am, put the car into Park and it started. Of course it wasn't her fault, someone must have broke in and shifted the thing. Her some 40 years experience driving just didn't prepare her for this one. I just agreed and left.
