Default So a woman goes to the auto shop....

So a woman goes to the auto shop.... reporting her vehicle has a vibration and it has a gas leak..

The diagnosis? A box spring mattress in the roadway which the broad ran over, and dragged for miles. The flailing metal under the car punched a hole in the fuel tank, and fuel starvation is all that stopped this rocket scientist.

AND YES SHE WAS BLONDE!!




Didnt some bogan do a similar on Parramatta road few months back??

If I remember correctly, that mini was only a few days old.

Anyway... someone surely has to be taking the . Surely no one is that stupid not to notice something like that.

A bit off topic but why are the peoples eyes blocked out? I can understand bluring peoples faces but what does blocking just the eyes do? are they reverse superheros or something

Yeah I remember that from a few months ago, silly bird didn't even notice running over a whole mattress, and in a car she had just bought brand new that day.

MASSIVE FAIL!!

I drove over the handle of a shovel in my driveway at like 2km/h in reverse and was concerned with the damage. This woman hit a matress, A MATRESS and just kept on going, what a drop kick.
