It is what it is......I guess

i had a buddy call me the other day, asked if i knew anything about transmissions
he said he was driving his truck (01 dakota) and hit a street sign
when he pulled into work, he couldnt shift the truck in park...the lever just flopped around
not being able to go into park, the NSS wouldnt let him start the truck

so i told him to crawl under there, i described where the gear selector on the transmission is, and suggested the cable or rod had simply popped of
his response?
its been raining and its wet down there

he called be a few days later to give me an update
he had called a tow truck and explained to the driver what was going on
i guess the driver manned up, slid under there and popped the cable back on and now, everything is honkey dorey again
Justice was served by whatever he had to pay the tow driver.
