I know it's embarassing and frustrating but you will be able to laugh about it eventually.

Case in point:

At my home in MO, I owned an acre of sloped land. Being a clean car nut, I put the car by the side of the house in early spring and washed it there. Then I tried to back it up to park it in the driveway. Because of the slope, I couldn't do it. I was on dirt, errr mud by that time and the front wheel drive couldn't push the car backwards up the slope and dug in, instead.

I called AAA and got towed out of my yard.

After they left, I realized that now the car was dirtier than it was before I washed it. Determined not to make the same mistake, I reparked the car in a different place and decided I would drive straight down across the property once done, and onto the side street. So, after getting the car all clean (again) I proceeded to drive down across the slope to the side street. Yep, you guessed it, the spring ground was still soft from the winter snows...and I dug into it deeper than before.

Yes, that was the day AAA had to tow me out of my own yard TWICE!

Hope this helps you not feel so alone.
