IDIOT SIGHTING:
A woman ran over a mattress on the highway and kept on driving until the jumble of wrapped wire springs under her car ripped a hole in the gas tank. The subsequent lack of fuel is what finally stopped her.
She had managed to drive 30 miles with a 60-pound tangle of mattress springs and fluff wrapped around the drive shaft. She had it towed to the dealership and complained that the vehicle had a "sort of a shimmy" when driven at high speeds.
Duh...
