Kind of makes you wonder....
A customer 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 with a 60-lb tangle wrapped around the drive
shaft. The customer complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving
at high speeds. Attached are pictures of what the dealership found.
My nephew Colin said, "Wow, even my sister could have figured this one out!" His sister is 11 years old, heh heh...
This actually reminds me of a time when I ran my Dad's snowblower auger tines into a dog chain in his driveway. The chain immediately broke the shear-bolts and prevented the drive shaft from going into a torqued pretzel. I had to buy a carbide chain-cutter and snip the chain out from the wrapped mess. It was nothing like this hornet's nest, though!
Special thanks to Noah for sending me this gem...
