A Blonde. A car and A Mattress

A Blonde 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.

Is This Just The Best Or What?
They Still Can't Believe Their Eyes.
And Still Wondering How To Remove It!

...hand me that long screwdriver, Earl...

That drive train is going to have underlying damage well beyond removal of the mattress, it looks like the seals, hub to the rear end, hub to the transmission, are damaged beyond repair, not to mention the floor pan of the vehicle must be punchered venting in CO2 inside the vehicle. It looks like a insurance nightmare who ever process the claim on that vehicle. If the driver only stopped right after the accident the could have saved themselves the nightmare that has occurred.

Yikes!!!

Sad to say, I see people do stuff like that on a daily basis here in the Dallas, TX area. I see people driving on the highways with mattresses tied to their car roofs with twine or, they simply have others in the car holding it by the loops one uses to turn it over.
