Oh, I wish I drove an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile

Oh my gosh! The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is in the news! I LOVE the Wienermobile! And since Paul Ryan, vice-presidential candidate, once drove it as a sales rep, it’s getting all kinds of media attention. Thanks, Paul! Not only that, but I just saw the Wienermobile two weeks ago when I was in California for my son’s wedding.

Not that the giant-hot-dog-on-a-bun vehicle was at the wedding. It wasn’t. My son hired a charter bus at the wedding to bring guests to and from their hotels. I don’t know if he tried to get the Wienermobile, but I doubt it, as the Wienermobile won’t seat enough people to make it practical for use as large group transportation.

Unless you hired the whole fleet of Wienermobiles.  According to the official Wienermobile blog, there are six of them that tour the country. They each have two drivers, though, so I don’t know how much room there would be left for other passengers, let alone for wedding gifts. Besides which, I don’t know how many people would actually want to be driven to a wedding in a huge hot dog.

Other than me, of course. I think it would be hilarious. But then, I’ve always wanted to drive a Wienermobile myself. I’d love to see the look on other drivers’ faces when they see a big hot dog passing them by. And when I stopped at a light, I’d lean out and ask if anyone had mustard.

Maybe my son was right to make the wedding transportation plans without me…
