And I feel like a giant pussy.

Went to back down the long, winding gravel driveway yesterday. As I've done at least 500 times before.

Wound up backing over a new drain pipe recently installed, overcorrected and took the car backwards completely off the driveway into the holler off the side. It's about 40 feet down with a field of glacial boulders dotting the ground.

Only had a split second to realize what was happening and managed to cut the wheel just enough to land on a tree trunk. Had I not cut the wheel, I'd have flipped and landed roof down on the boulders.

Had the car winched out. Took two trucks to do it. But somehow there was zero damage outside of the impact area. Just need a new trunk panel and glass.

But now I'm all fucked up physically. Every time I stand up, shit pops in my neck and back like bubble wrap.

What a fucking idiot I am.

The end.

Holy shit man, glad you are okay. Knowing you don't be brave and try to tough it out, get to the ER and get checked out.

I second that, neck/spine injuries are not the sort of thing to try to "tough out."

Gonna sue yourself to Bolivia?

But, as others have said, go to urgent care and get ut down on paper. These injuries can hide and linger only to fuck you up later. And you're not a spring chicken anymore.

Jesus Christ. You drive a Hyundai?

In all seriousness, glad it wasn't worse. But like guys smarter than me said, go get checked out, just to be on the safe side. And take it easy for a week or two.

I wish you the best
I can actually sympathize as car accidents are a bastard
You’re alive and be thankful.
All the best and get the neck checked out no matter what cost

I'd make a joke about you driving like an asian woman, but then I'd end up doing some dumb shit in my truck later this week. I'm glad you're okayish and that the damage to your vehicle is minor.

I hope you feel better soon.

I love my fucking Hyundai!

43mpg on the highway. Weaves in and out of traffic like speedy Gonzales.

10 years old, not one problem under the hood. Regular maintenance only.
