Driveline Vibration Issue
« on: February 17, 2009 - 08:47:46 PM »


A woman ran over a mattress and decided to keep going anyway. The mattress got caught in the car's under belly and finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank Leaking gas She still managed to drive the car for 30 more miles decently, with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft. The subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought her vehicle to its knees. After having her car towed to her dealer's garage, She complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it at high speeds.


This is what the dealership found..............






















Yep, she was a blonde!

Debris on the roadways is a major problem over here as well.  The Department of Transportation picks up everything, from stoves, couches, ladders, trash cans, bowling balls, and on and on and on.  They usually don’t kill or injury any one, but every now and then someone gets killed or injured due to this debris

She probably went in and said: "Hi, I'd like my vehicle serviced please, no strings attached."  :lol2:
