a rough end to an OK day

Just as I was getting ready to turn into my neighborhood, I felt all tension go out of my gear shift, and I couldn't get in gear, any gear. I hopped out and started pushing my car (a Saturn: I was very glad for the plastic body panels), until I got to the slight incline, at which point physics stopped toying with me and started fighting back. Luckily, a nice couple of young-ish alterafolk stopped and offered a hand, and we got my my car pushed off onto a side street (strangely, as we'd made the turn, another sorta hipster looking guy pulled over to ask if we needed help; I'm starting to wonder if we don't live on the wrong side of McClendon).

So, presumably my car is in the process of being towed to the Saturn dealership, and I'll talk to them first thing in the morning. Bleh, I don't want to have to worry about a new car or major expenses on repairing mine. I really, really hope it's a relatively inexpensive fix.
