I washed the PIMP-Mobile yesterday. I tried to take it out of the driveway to drive around the block to get all the water out of the cracks. Big problem occur: shift **** seamed to be locked and I could not get into any other gear except Neutral or Drive. It is an automatic w/paddle shift. It is at the dealer now. Any idea what’s the cause?

Good news; it’s nothing major like the transmission. The dealer said that there was something wrong with the little spring inside the shift button.
