Slight Shimmy!!!

A woman ran over a mattress on the way to St. Cloud Minn. and decided not to worry and
kept 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 it's knee's. She had still managed to drive 30 more

miles with a 60 pound tangle of stuff wrapped around her driveshaft.

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 photo's of what they found at her dealership.

The last photo is by far the best. "Sort Of A Shimmy", I'll Bet It Did!

This is really unbelievable that this vehicle would even move!

Wow. I can't imagine what those mechanics were thinking...Or maybe I can.

I think her definition of shimmy and mine might be very different.

That's a lot worse than the time the plastic grocery bag got stuck to my catalytic converter. :)

Geez, she's lucky she didn't wreck. What a NON-smart person she is!

Another puzzler is why the mechanics' eyes are covered.
