A woman ran over an innerspring mattress on the highway, decided not to worry and kept on driving.

It caught on the undercarriage of her Holden.

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 its knees. She had managed to drive 50 kms, with a 25kg tangle of 'stuff' wrapped around her drive shaft.

She had it towed to her Holden dealership, and complained that the vehicle had a 'sort of a noise' when she was driving at high speeds.

Below are the photos of what they found at her Holden Dealership....................

It looks a lot like an older model Rodeo I used to work on.

I've put in a request for clarification to the Internet Misinformation Foundation (IMF). There's something funny about their eyes.

I would imagine they have a bit of a backlog so it might be a while before they get back to you:D
