If by dancer you mean that I'm able to move my body parts rhythmically to music much to the amusement of others... Then yes. I wouldn't ascribe any more skill to myself than that.
Huh, well I got nothing on transmissions. Sounds like a software/wiring/sensor issue to me. Which would be the cheapest. The loaner should be more easily fixed though. Not that it helps too much. You just gotta stop driving like Mario Andretti.
I wouldn't sweat the driving thing. I've been driving for 12 years and have owned 10 cars and a motorcycle....
