Sighting: old wagon with 5 mattresses on the roof!

holam · 12-05-2003, 05:57 AM

Saw it this morning, a gentleman driving an old Subaru wagon with a pile of 5 mattresses on top, just came up to Vancouver from Knight St. bridge and made a right turn at 57th Ave. Man the mattresses, which were tied up with some straps, are thicker than the car! I didn't know our Subarus have that capability and stability.

Last time I saw a pickup truck moving a mattress/futon in the trunk, and I witnessed the mattress flying up in the sky, flipped, and landed on the ground, lucky no car was following it.

This gent must have seen many subbies hauling snow boards and skis to hit the slopes so he must have thought to himself, why not mattresses?

I see a pick up truck with a mattress on top and then there was a guy on top of it holding it down.
