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 at high speeds.
This is what the dealership found…………..
Thanks Tommy Salami
That truck must have just seen a girl walk in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in its face because it just got SPRUNG.
I’m going to need some wire cutters, some tequila, and a several hours.
I hope it was still under warranty……remember, never drive over a mattress unless you have a diamond cutter in the bach seat.
this is what happens when you run over a mattress in a mini…

truly amazing. I once saw on tv how this guy stole a tank and got it stuck on the concrete barrier between highways.
The worst thing car-wise I ever did was damage my front bumper so bad that I had to rip it off by hand (as well as the tire guard) on the side of the road and shove it in my back seat.
I saw this a while ago. Funny!
There must be something about women drivers. There just must be.
Many years ago I was in a tire store with a friend. The had a small pile of stuff they had pulled out of tires. One was a railroad tie spike! The person at the tire store said that the spike was pulled from a tire. The tire was still inflated. The women driver stopped because she had a strange vibration in the front end! I am sure if she had drove at any speed that was some vibration!

Thanks Guard SGT (ret)…….I am a man, I take offense to you dissing female drivers. They drive as well or better than you.
This is what happens when you cut that forbidden tag off a mattress.
Thanks Klaw!
And Guard SGT – I was a mechanic before I decided to be a stay at home Mum. I can tell you that stupid complaints come from both genders.
Sad thing is my teenage son did that once. He spent two days picking out metal from his axle. He had just purchased the vehicle the day before.
So I’m curious what the point of blacking out the eyes serves here? We can still see their faces, and we know darn well that they’re looking at!
how DO you fix the vehicle at this point?
Are they going to have to use blow torches to get that off the driveshaft or would it make sense to just replace the driveshaft?
Wow, I guess mattresses can be used for more than just sleep.
Now what I wonder since nobody brought it up: Who leaves matrasses out for others to drive over? I must honestly say that I have never seen a matrass lying by the side of the road. But then again these are hard economic times, could be a conspiracy between car-dealers and matrass manufacturers though
