CRAAAAAP!!!
I read all the warnings about accidentally shredding your transmission if the driver at your car wash doesn't correctly put the car in Neutral after they drive it in.
Last time I got my '04 washed, I very carefully instructed the guy how to do it, then walked away with my SS/SE fob in my pocket. Geez, I'm an idiot. Nevertheless, the guy got my car into the wash, it looked like it smoothly rolled through, and it came out the other side, where I drove it to the spot where another guy wipes it down. (The wipedown guy tried to drive it out, but couldn't figure how to get it in gear, so he had me do it.) I only realized after I parked it that the fob was in my pocket the whole time.
So... did I just hideously damage my car? It seems fine - would it be obvious is something were wrong? What DOES happen when someone else is driving the car, and you walk away with the fob?
Tell me I didn't just trash my 2-month-old car.
