Default Had a great time yesterday @ Harman ...Until my car wouldn't go into gear....

So Harman was cool. Now I can put some faces to AW names

The drive home was enjoyable. Kujo, Dino and I took over the 405 North. If we had one more car we could of blocked the entire freeway..... To bad that Ferrari didn't plow into my rear when we all came to a sudden stop by LAX. Then I could of been like C4at yourdoor's dad!

Anyways....Fast Forward to that night. I'm leaving a party I was at. Get into my car. It won't start. Then after talking it over with my car she starts however I couldn't get into to gear.
The only way I could get my car into gear was by turning it off. Put into gear and turn the ignition.
Its hard to explain. The car wouldn't turnover all the way but it would back up a few feet.

*At this point I've smoked a pack of cig's....(mostly because I'm embarrased since I was talking about how great my car was all night at this party).

I call Audi Roadside which do a great job of getting a tow company there. They bring a flatbed. I had to back my car up by turning the ignition going back 1ft at a time.

This flatbed had more lights on it then Griswolds house in Christmas Vacation. Anyone local....I was right of Ventura blvd, one block east of Laurel in Studio City. Right at that intersection. It was 2am and all the clubs close and here come all the people from the club and my poor car on the flatbed.

I go home that night w/o a car.
I call up keyes audi. I must say I was very happy when they found a loaner car for me even though the service department was closed. (Its an A4...but from the stories I heard on here I was happy to get an Audi, period.)

So....Now my car is being taken to the dealership. Now begins the struggle of my S4 vs. Keye's Service Department.

Tensioner? That's odd. I have no clue, but this shouldn't be a tensioner problem.
