Hi

I got this email this evening and it shocked me!!!

A 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 managed to go 30 miles with a 60-lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

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

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

you two need to lie down after those gags,
 
Maybe the driver though he would improve the comfort by adding coil springs to the cart ones..
 
Was it an Audi? Vorsprung durch technik.....

hmmm. I am leaving - Taxi for one!!

Actually, that vehicle looked like a bonfire waiting to be lit
 

Now that photo explains why so many people have complaints about MB dealer servicing.





No way can a mechanic do his job wearing a blindfold..........
:devil:

You mean they don't even recognise the worn tyre, just keep looking at something less important? :)
 
I'm somewhat concerned they don't know the difference between a driveshaft and a propshaft ;)
 
Prop or drive he's probably been shafted....

I'll get my anorak!:o
 
The driver must have been in quite a Tempur when he saw the damage...
 
They would see the damage better if they took those stupid sunglasses off.
 
I like how they blacked out their eyes but they have their names on their shirts:):):)
 
Bet the owner had to lie down after getting the bill.....
