A Lady Ran Over A Mattress On The Highway

And Decided Not To Worry And Kept Driving..

The Ensuing Jumble Finally Whipped Around Enough to

Tear A Hole In The Fuel Tank.

The Subsequent Lack Of Fuel Is What Finally

Brought Her Vehicle To It's Knee's.

She Had Still Managed To Drive 30 More Miles

With A 60 Pound Tangle of Stuff Wrapped

Around Her Driveshaft.

She Had It Towed To Her Dealership And Complained

That The Vehicle Had A " Sort Of Shimmy "

When She Was Driving At High Speeds.



Below Are The Photo's Of What They

Found At Her Dealership....................

The Last Photo Is By Far The Best.

" Sort Of A Shimmy" I'll Bet It Did !

By virtue of the fact it has a driveshaft in the first place my guess it was a pick 'em up truck plus I never underestimate how stupid people are.
