See, among the hilarious facets of that episode my favorite right now is that I spent a great deal of effort trying to flip the car right-side-up before standing back and imagining that I couldn't take a properly-grounded car and flip it upside-down. Extrapolating that I was wasting my effort, I felt that I'd made an epiphany of physics up there with the Schrödinger Equation.
In close second is the moment when I found a cute girl's phone number in my pocket, having forgotten about her by that time, and feeling an extreme sense of accomplishment right before I had medical scans performed looking for internal bleeding as everyone in the hospital expected me to drop dead any second.
And then there's the detail that my brain conveniently deleted the part of my memory telling how I actually got OUT of the car from being pinned inside upside-down, since the windshield was intact and there was no space whatsoever for me to have crawled out the window. And, even if I had done that one would expect my entire outfit to have been covered in mud while in fact I only had a light grass stain at my knees.
Another hilarious part? With the extreme malaise I had upon landing in total darkness, I came to the conclusion that I was dead and experiencing my first moments of perdition. I decided, however, that I should prevent a car fire from taking place so that my family could have an open-casket funeral and so I reached forward and turned off the still-running ignition.
What I mean, really, is "say no to drugs, kids". Even--ESPECIALLY--when you have no idea that they're in your system.
