Dave in Texas Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think I'm embarrassed. Yesterday, on my return trip from the valley, I was tooling along at 80mph on IH 37 when the Oscar Meyer Weiner-Mobile passed me! Appalling ain't it!? The back-end of that 'mobile' sure looked like a new Yellow Corvette though........no, really! GM Reman 4.1 engine Dec '08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marika Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 What a wimp..... If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans.

winterset Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 The weinermobile is a Corvette. Don't you know that that's what it is!! - it's a vette with a lightweight fiberglass shell placed on top of it. ---- nah, I'm just trying to make you feel better not sure where they were off to in such a hurry, hamburgers are the new comfort food in this recession. ask anyone in McDonalds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two vertical bulls-eye tail lights on each side. From what I've been able to find, the latest version is based on a Mini-Cooper, but the version that passed me, quickly, was no M-C!

My experience is that they DRIVE down there, Im not surprised to see the MOBILE pass you Texas Jim, are you surprised? Nope...not a bit surprised. But Dave should have done his part for fuel conservation....and DRAFTED him. As tall and wide as that thing is...you could have got real close and ran 80/90 and got 40MPG or better.
