Buddy of mine works at a car dealership.
This was sent to him in an email........what a 'roid........ :roll:

The owner of this car 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.
It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60 lb tangle wrapped around the drive shaft.
This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving at high speeds.
This is what the dealership found........

Standard shop labor rate $75 per hour. I'll bet it could take someone a better part of a day getting that off and look for any other damage. Since there is no formal tax for or on the stupid, I think a hefty repair bill would be in order.
Oh, here's your sign.
