If Hauling a Half-Dozen Mattresses Atop a Dodge Challenger Is Wrong, I Don't Want to Be Right

If Hauling a Half-Dozen Mattresses Atop a Dodge Challenger Is Wrong, I Don't Want to Be Right

Just ask Arizona resident Casey Day, who uses his Challenger as a transport truck for his mattress company in Phoenix. Local news station KTVK recently talked to Day, who sometimes carries six or more mattresses strapped to the top of his 2010 Challenger while delivering for his business, Flylane Mattress Company.

The station reports that the sight of Day’s Challenger blankets some locals with nightmares of a mattress coming loose, but that Day said he drives 65 mph on freeways with the mattresses and has never had one fall, or almost fall, off.

From KTVK, which has a video story here that we can’t embed:

I can't link to pictures at Jalopnik, due to their weird address. I got the picture from https://www.azfamily.com/news/mattress-guy-raises-eyebrows-with-stacks-of-mattresses-tied-to/article_62013cba-0ee3-11e9-9cce-9358cd4f868d.html

"and has never had"......that's what my wife and kids say about speeding but never yet had a ticket.

My response: "That just means probability and statistics says the odds are increasingly against you".....

If some of those come off and cause a wreck - especially on the interstate - that could be the end of his hauling and his entire business.
