the only thing i can think is that it stormed here last night and i had my windows cracked for a little bit of the storm. other than that i know my transmission is going out.

i dont think the trans going out would cause this but could the car have slid in any dirrection cus my jeep did something simmilar so i jacked it up and it turned over right away, i think the flywheel got jambed or soemthing. try that it might work but not 100% sure just a guess

My guess on this would be the ignition switch (cylinder and key). If the witch goes out then the key could become stuck. maybe there is something jammed into where you turn your key. Just a quick thought.
