A woman ran over a mattress and decided to keep going anyway. The mattress got caught in the car’s under belly and finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank. Leaking gas, she still managed to drive the car for 30 more miles with a 60 lb. tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

The subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought her vehicle to a stop.

After having her car towed to her dealer’s garage, she complained that the vehicle had a “shimmy” when driving it at high speeds.

This is what the dealership found . . .
