Default My car won't budge

I had to get my car back from a transmission shop about 2 weeks ago on a day when the weather man said we'd get about 3 inches of snow. We ended up getting about 20 inches. I drove my poor baby about 8 miles through wet, road salted streets and snow/ slush on my side street. A few days later when it dried up a bit, I pushed the car out of the garage to give it a thorough washing and cleaning then pushed it back into the garage.

Yesterday I tried pushing it out again to clean it again and it will not move. Trans is in neutral, parking brake is off, I've kept up on my glute and quad exercises but it will barely rock for me. I could start it and back it out, but I'm worried something will snap or break, this hasn't happened before. What's going on?

Maybe your shifter linkage popped off and its really not in neutral. But if you can start it and put it in gear and move it out...go for it. Just do it easy.

A caliper could be stuck too.
