What happens if you slow down just a little bit so rather than orbiting the sun at 70,500 mph to orbit at 70,000 mph? Wouldn't that put you into a decaying orbit that ends up getting a bit warm eventually?
There is enough energy in the system to send a car out past Mars. Falling into the gravity well feels like it should be easier.
