A bad shimmy...!
« on: October 17, 2010, 07:07:47 pm »
Dont know if these pictures where posted yet...

the story goes as follows...(apparently) ??? ???



A blonde ran over a mattress on the highway,
and decided not to worry -- and kept on driving.
It caught on the undercarriage of her Ford.

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 its knees..

She had managed to drive 30 miles
with a 60 pound tangle of stuff wrapped around her drive shaft.

She had it towed to her Ford dealership and complained
that the vehicle had a 'sort of a shimmy'
when she was driving at high speeds.
