Word is it's a mattress that got run over. Managed to get hung up 
underneath. Under that mound of wire in the 3rd is the driveshaft. Who 
knows what really happened. Interesting pics though.

Well it started out as being a blonde driver thing when i received the 
story last week in email.  I seriously doubt it was a blonde.  (probably 
a man)  and that she drove it till it ran out of gas because the 
mattress wire and springs had punctured the fuel tank.  Either way, it's 
obviously not a staged or  manipulated photo.  Some dumass driver 
actually did this to their car.  Should have their license pulled.

I have had 2 similar experiences. I picked up a plastic grocery bag on
US41 one day and it trashed the seal on the differential in minutes
... bummer

A stopped to help a guy with a 200HP outboard in the river who had run
over a crab pot and it looked similar to the pictures above except it
twisted up into a cone behind the prop. He thought it would come off
by itself I guess and tried to keep going. 
Fortunately I had tools and two of us worked about a half hour with 2
pairs of vice grips and wire cutters to get that mess off his prop.
Good news was he was able to go home under his own power. I told him
to watch for oil leaks  ;-)

What's with the blacked out eyes? Like people are afraid 
that someone will recognize them?

I would suspect  that the photographer had no model release forms from the 
people in the picture.  While the argument could be made that this way a 
bona-fide news story he/she choose to be cautious.

i wondered about that also when i first got the pictures.  Perhaps 
they're in the mechanic protection program.

SSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!   That's a good way to get yourself reported to "the 
bureau".

Maybe those people are'nt really auto mechanics.  ;-)

That's why I stripped all the text out of the email I got. 99% chance it
was BS. But like I said, the pics of the mess are amusing.

My son pulled in the driveway with his car smelling like something was
burning. He said it had been doing all day, but he looked under the
dash and hood and couldn't find anything.

I looked under the car saw a black stain and some gunk on the
catalytic converter.

Turns out he ran over a plastic bag from a grocery store and it melted
onto the converter. It took a few days before the smell finally went
away.
