Good to hear you had no damage. I completely understand your feeling embarassed.
A year ago I had a important staff meeting in the Washington D.C. area. I was carrying a few other staff members in my Conversion Van. For those of you who do not know what a Conversion Van is, it like a high top van but looks so much better. Anyway, the meeting was at some prestigious office building that only had garage parking. I asked the parking attendant if there were any other places to park. She told me no, but my van would fit inside. I was very hesitant about going into that first entrance. It made it inside and I was OK until the idiot parking attendant told me I had to park "over there" meaning I had to go over a speed bump. As soon as I went s-l-o-w-l-y over that bump, I hear scraaaaaaaaaaaaap on the top of my roof! I stopped immediately and backed up slowly, cusing (southern slag for cursing, or using fowl language)all the way! I cussed that parking attendant out!
There was no major damage to the roof other than scrapping some paint off which my insurance company paid to have the top repainted.
I felt so mad, frustrated, disgusted and embarassed all at the same time! I mean, I KNEW BETTER than to park in a parking garage!
I just wished my insurance company had pursued taking the parking lot attendent to court for negilence on her part.

I had a similar think happen to me in college, except dumb a$$ here went forward over the block and got stuck. Luckely I was driving an 81 Civic at the time and we were able to get a bunch of guys to lift the front end off of the thing. And we complain about women drivers........

As long as you can laugh at yourself and didn't hurt your car, you are way ahead.

For $50 you should have had the tow truck tow you all the way home just for the hell of it. What I find amazing is how "we all have cameras at the ready, but never the equipment to resolve situations" lol.
It could have been worse. You could have been the getaway driver for a bank hiest! "Doh"!

Back when I had a Jetta, I left it in neutral, jumped out of the car, and the car rolled over my friend's foot.... Luckily it was on a mushy muddy road and her foot sank into the mud so no damage...

Looked today and it appears that they are still lined up right.

Double checked everything else and can find no visible damage anywhere.

Looks like I got very lucky.
