WOMAN, A CAR, AND A MATTRESS
WOMAN, A CAR, AND A MATTRESS
A woman ran over a mattress on the highway,
And decided not to worry -- and kept on 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 Its Knees.
She Had Still Managed To Drive 30 More Miles
With A 60-Pound Tangle of Stuff Wrapped Around Her Drive shaft.
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 Photos Of What They
Found At Her Dealership.....................
The Last Photo Is By Far The Best.
"Sort Of A Shimmy" -- I'll Bet It Did!
Is This Just The Best Or What?
They Still Can't Believe Their Eyes.
And Still Wondering How To Remove It!

Re: WOMAN, A CAR, AND A MATTRESS
You'd never think a mattress would cause a car to shimmy at high speeds...




I don't like the term insane - I prefer mentally hilarious!

I saw the same story a couple of years ago, but it was a guy driving.
