This Blond 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.

She had still managed to drive 30 more miles with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the drive shaft.

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

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

geee..... what an idiot... *whispers* a lot of ladies don't know the "difference ie. feel or sound, they think its normal but obviously something is going wrong!!! and does the damage till its too late.. what car was it?

She's lucky it didn't catch on fire, I personally fail to see how it didn't with a fuel leak and all that metal scraping against the underbody. Unless the fuel leak was added as an extra touch of drama, not that it really needed it.

edit: I guess it could have been a diesel. Do they have diesel in America, it would seems to defeat the purpose of poor fuel economy in the first place.

Maybe the welded diff did it
