won't go into drive or reverse; atlanta mechanic?

Hello Everyone,

I started my 2004 prius this AM and it wouldn't go into drive or reverse; only neutral. I tried a few times, starting, turning off, restarting- all same thing. Engine and other lights on dashboard lit up. On about the 3rd try my car started and I drove to work- wondering if in a sleepy haze I hadn't had the brake on to start with. Once at work I turned the car off and then tried to restart- once with my foot off the brake to replicate the problem (which I did). Then I restarted the car with my brake on and, to my great dismay, still no drive or reverse....

I saw where someone else had this problem when the temperature went below zero; but temps only dropped to ~ 50 last night in Atlanta. Has anyone else experienced this? Have an idea what's going on? Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in Atlanta?

THanks,
Kerry
