Driveshaft Woes

Bad Vibrations

Driving over a mattress isn't a good idea. This driver did, then kept going.


Even though it had 60 lbs. of mattress tangled around the driveshaft, this vehicle managed to go over 30 miles before the mess finally whipped around enough to hole the gas tank. In fact, the vehicle stopped only when it had run out of fuel.

The driver complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving at high speeds.
