The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to tear a hole in the fuel tank. The Subsequent Lack Of Fuel Is What FinallyBrought Her Vehicle To Its Knees... She Had Still Managed To Drive 30 More MilesWith A 60-Pound Tangle of Stuff Wrapped Around Her Drive shaft. She Had It Towed To Her Dealership And ComplainedThat 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!</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Seeing is believing! I would have had a hard time picturing that in my mind. I will bet no one else can say aaathey have done that. Think the mattress is salvageable?? Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsbob Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Likely a photo shopped image...Not enough surrounding collateral damage to have wrapped that much metal. Not to mention that the 60 additional pounds of mass unbalance would have destroyed some component of the drive line at highway speeds before she would have run out of gas.

TexRiv_63 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 She was probably too busy listening to her Ipod and texting on her Iphone to notice what must have been some scary noises under the vehicle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I saw a bulldozer operator get one stuck in the undercarriage of a bulldozer at the old town dump a bunch of years ago. I remember the owner saying that they had to cut that one out with a torch also. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
