M13KYF Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 A woman ran over a mattress on the highway and decided not to worry about it, and kept driving. The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to tear a hole in the fuel tank. The subsequent lack of fuel finally brought her vehicle to a halt. She managed to drive 30 miles with a 60 pound tangle wrapped around the drive shaft. She had it towed to a dealership and complained that the vehicle had a “sort of shimmy†when driving at high speed. Here’s what they found at the dealership... Quote

Vik54 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 "sort of shimmy" ?!!!!!!! More like an outright Latin number I would reckon Quote
bronzee Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 That puts a new meaning to "face palm"!!!! The scary thing we share the road with these people. I hate to think how long it took to remove the stuff Multipule pairs of industrial grade bolt cutters. Quote
