The Jeep commercial had me thinking, Would the Jeep actually explode out wheels up on the other end or would the car explode right side up (upright). If I were to fall, would gravity have me still falling, or would I have to crawl out upwards?

Actually you would burn up before you hit the core.

Assuming that you would be immune to the crushing weight and heat in the Earth's core, gravity would pull you to the center of it, where you would bounce back and forth until you came to a full stop. You would then be trapped at the center of the Earth, unless you had the means to start climbing out.
This also assumes that you were more dense than the surrounding rock; this is why you don't sink into the earth in the first place. If you were more dense than Earth's mantle but less dense than the core, you'd stop at the edge of the core, as if you had landed on ground.

You would come out head first. At the center of the earth, the direction of gravity reverses. So, since your feet are heavier than your head, (that's why they touch the ground, right?) you would turn over and you would come out of the earth upright in Iraq.

You would have to crawl out. The pull of gravity comes from the center of the Earth, so you wouldn't "fall" past that point.

you wouldnt really come out - your would keep oscillating closer to the core (gravity) until you were just stuck at the center. You would literally have to crawl out..

I think it would depend on how fast you were falling, and if your fall were uninhibited and you reached regular terminal velocity, you would have to factor in wind resistance, the earth's gravitational pull, blah blah blah oh no i've gone cross-eyed.

If there were a hole though the entire earth ( which is impossible) you would tumble because of the rotation and gravitational pull. you would have a fifty fifty chance.
