MOST cars require you to step on the brake before shifting into gear. It's no big deal. Practice a couple of time before your next carwash, so you won't be so freaked out.
Thanks for the reply. Getting back in gear is not as simple as you would think. I tried to go straight from neutral to drive. Pushed drive many times. Didn’t work. Somehow I ended up finally getting into drive. Seemed like forever since cars were behind me. Contacted my dealer salesman and he said you must put car into drive as you step on brake at the same time. Doesn’t seem like a great idea to me. You should just be able to shift to drive without applying brake. Haven’t tried this yet.
