after you have hit something. No idea if this is old or whatever but I have never seen it before so here you go, (copied and pasted from an e-mail)

This woman Ran Over A Mattress On The Highway

And Decided Not To Worry And Kept Driving.

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 It's Knee's.

She Had Still Managed To Drive 30 More Miles
With A 60 Pound Tangle of Stuff Wrapped
Around Her Drive shaft.

She Had It Towed To Her Dealership And Complained That 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!

I've done similar with plant machinery driving over bits of a torn down wire fence.
Not as big as that massive ball of spring steel but it still took ages to remove.

I remember crashing through a country fence one drunken night, in a mates car, many many years ago. We carried on, unhurt, drove through the town centre on the way home, parked up at his place in the country and crashed out for the night.

Next day we came out to check for damage, and found about 35 yards of wire fence, and a half dozen fence poles stretched out behind the car....

yikes

Without trying to pee on someone's bonfire that ain't some woman's car. That's a truck. Bloody good mess though! I wouldn't want to unpick that lot.

I thought that but the wording of the e-mail suggests the USA and there are a st load of pickups out there being used the same way we use normal cars.

I believe Z4monster is using 'truck' in its literal sense. Lorry if you prefer.

Could have been worse: Throw Crunched up bones, flesh and blood into the mix and it would have probably meant someone was still laying on the matress.....
