While working on my Spitfire today something very bad happened.  I pulled up
to the local Checker Auto parts, to pick up some RainX and flat black paint.
When I came out of the store I couldn't get the car in to reverse.  I pushed
it back a few feet, put it in first and drove away.  I pulled it in to the
local high school's Driver's Ed track.  I played with the transmission in
here, every other gear went in smooth.  I checked the fluid, everything
seemed fine.  I even started rolling the car back a little, still no luck.
Any ideas of what to check/test next?

P.S.  I pulled apart my passenger side door today, to try and figure out why
my window wouldn't roll down.  I found two towels stuffed in the bottom of
the door.  I checked the regulator, everything seemed sturdy.  I didn't
notice any rattling or anything unusual driving around latter.  Anyone have
any ideas why there were there?  Maybe it was a good spot to store towels
for washing?
