Back in the day, when I was just a young pup,(16) I had my very first car. A 
White 1961 Chrysler 300G, 2 door hardtop.
I only had the car a few days when I took it to the car wash and decided to 
wash down the engine compartment. It did a fine job. I then washed the car 
and all was good. It was time to leave. I got in, put the key in the 
ignition, turned the key and nothing happen. I thought that I must have 
gotten something too wet under the hood. I opened the hood, looked around 
and everything looked okay. I got back in the car and tried and tried. No 
luck. The car wash was about 8 blocks away from home. I was going to walk 
home and get "good ol dad" to help. He was a mechanic at a Chrysler/Plymouth 
dealership and he could always diagnosis, solve and fix any problem that I 
had.
I was just about to get out of the car when I looked to the left and saw 
that the car was still in DRIVE. I pushed the "N" button in and the ol "G" 
started right up.

Anyway when you said "I'm going to feel REAL STUPID if I find I left it in 
gear and that's
why it won't start!" it just brought back that memory that I thought that I 
would share.

Thanks to all of you for all the ideas and suggestions on getting
the 300F started. As much experience as I have had w/ autos in my
life, I received a LOT of tips I simply wouldn't have thought of!

I'm going to feel REAL STUPID if I find I left it in gear and that's
why it won't start!

I'll post the results of applying all the tips and suggestions, even
it turns out to be the big..... "DUH"!!!!

What a wonderful tool for 300 owners this listserver is! In four
short weeks it has been of immeasurable benefit to me!
