Title: So, a woman apparently ran over a mattress on the highway........
Post by: WillC on January 15, 2011, 09:07:34 PM

A woman apparently ran over a mattress on the highway,
and decided not to worry - and kept on driving. 
It caught on the undercarriage of her Ford.

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 Ford 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 Ford Dealership.....................

The Last Photo Is By Far The Best.   

"Sort Of A Shimmy" -- I'll Bet It Did!

Tom Woods is actually releasing this as an upgrade next year for lifted vehicles. They figure the rear end "Shimmy" would counteract the death wobble in the front and you would in turn get a more smooth riding vehicle. :-\
