SapperMedic Posted April 23, 2009 #1 Posted April 23, 2009 We all run over something once in awhile, but usually will stop when it's safe and check the vehicle out.....especially if it starts to run a little different. A woman ran over a mattress but was in too much of a hurry to stop. The mattress got caught underneath and started what she described as a "slight driveline shimmy at high speeds". She still didn't stop until it caused a hole in the fuel tank. THAT is what caused the vehicle to stop. The tow truck driver looked underneath and this is what they saw when they got it on the lift at the shop...........I wonder what a BIG shimmy would feel like?

SapperMedic Posted April 23, 2009 Author #5 Posted April 23, 2009 I have a picture of a crotch-rocket rider that hit the back of a semi-trailer at high speeds and lodged himself there. The truck driver didn't even feel the impact
