Car accidents' day, part II

Look here for part one.
I had promised myself until the end of the day to use only first and second gear - I didn't do it.

So what happened until that notorious day was over.
It was snowing all day and after work I decided to go to a nearby mountain (Vitosha) and test my driving skills on an empty road. At some point I parked outside the cleared road to see the view to night Sofia. ...and I couldn't get out of there - the car was stuck in high snow. Digging was necessary. To dig I used a thing I bought for cleaning my windshield - it did an amazing job and I got out.

Few turns and a lot of drifting after that I lost control and got stuck (again!) in ditch stopping just a few inches from a tree. The car was inarguably unable to get out of there on it's own. I was just imaging how now I should start calling friends (it was around 12 o'clock already) which would arrive at least an hour after I called them, when I saw some lights. I got out and raised my thumb and these guys stopped. I had a rope and a Subaru 4x4 got me out in no time. And the car wasn't damaged at all. What a day.

I definitely believe in god now.

Unfortunately there isn't a single picture of all the stuff that happened.
