    Can't fix stupid

    Saw this on TF....................

    No explanation needed. This guy is an idiot.

    What was this guy thinking..................it is pretty clear that he wasn't thinking at all.

    Driveshaft Unbalance/Runout Sensitivity?

    This guy 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 60lb tangle
    wrapped around the driveshaft.

    This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it
    high speeds.

    This is what the dealership found..............
