Guy drives over mattress and keeps going - for a little while..

http://directorblue.blogspot.com/201...on-when-i.html

This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a hole in the gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to it's knees.

It still managed to drive decently for another 30 miles with a 60lb tangle wrapped around it's driveshaft.

This genius complained to the dealership that it had a "shimmy" when driving at high speeds... This is what the dealership found...
