yeah, i saw that a few weeks ago. It was a Jeep, and the fact that he had a mattress wrapped around his driveshaft didn't stop him. It was the whirling bits of wire slashing thru his gas tank leaving him stranded 30 miles after he ran over the mattress.

im surprised it got wrapped up so much, that mattress had to already be F-ed up for the springs to get caught on the driveshaft.

What a mess. I'd like to see the damage after the springs were removed.
