One hot summer in New Hampshire I was home for a few weeks and my son let me have his Camry while I was home. He was a mechanic and had an old truck to get him back and forth to work. One hot morning, I get in the car and turn the key in the ignition. Then I start to set up the air conditioner and other buttons and panic. I can't remember all that was wrong but I remember the air conditioner would only blow hot air. I was in a panic because it was my son's car and I thought I already broke it on him. I sat in the car crying and called my son at work. When I told him what was happening and all the things not working, he said to me, "is it on"? To test, I stepped on the gas, and nothing... Evidently, when I turned the ignition on, I didn't hold it long enough and I didn't realize that the engine never turned over, so it was only on accessories. To this day, he has not let me live that down.
