Exclamation a lil shimmy at high speeds...

This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going.

The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.

It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it high speeds.

This is what the dealership found..............

WOW... some people shouldnt drive. Not that they ran over the mattress but for not having enough sense to see if it came out the other side!!

I thought that was just barbed wire to keep the thieves away from that high dollar drive shaft.
