Wienermobile Crash
 

It has been all over the news today that the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile was damaged in an accident on a snowy road in Pennsylvania. But, I clicked on a link in one of the stories and came across this picture below of the Mini Wienermobile which was on the Oscar Meyer site. Finally a good use for a Mini.

Video of the crashed Wienermobile then the pic mentioned.

Road kill!

Few things are worse than a broken wiener.

That will buff out. Just rub it real quick.

Probably caused by a distracted driver from a RED state. Maybe someone will post a map indicating who the worst drivers in America are?

Was she driving?

Eyewitness reports say the driver was hauling buns...

It must have been chili out with so much snow on the road. I wouldn't relish being the driver.

Never let your weiner get out of control - it can get you into trouble

He got himself into quite a pickle. The cops are grilling him at the station now. Maybe the escort car got too far ahead and he was trying to ketchup.

The guy who got rear-ended by that isn't happy at all. Not one bit.

I thought getting unexpectedly rear-ended by a wiener only happened in prison

It looks like the driver wasn't able to cut the mustard.

Nobody would want to admit having a mini-wiener mobile, but obviously the other one was too big to handle properly.

My attorney has a first name...

Oscar's wiener is menace to society.

Should have "wrapped that rascal"
(re:that last photo)

that's what happens when you drive like a dick.

I would have thought that with it being so cold it would have been a smaller vehicle..

"Driver steps on own wiener... Story at 8"

Last summer I was driving on I-25 in Northern Colorado next to the Wienermobile in heavy bumper to bumper traffic going about 20-35mph for several miles. The girl driving almost ran it off the road twice and in coming back off the shoulder almost took out a line of cars. It appears the driver has just about no visibility in that thing. It also appears to have very crappy brakes.

Good thing this wasn't involved.......He'd have kissed his wiener.

Pete FTW!

at least he would have had some nuts for his wiener...

Maybe these are mechanical failures. Possibly improper fluid levels or load ratings?

Minis have more than adequate brakes.But the chassis is not designed to have the higher C of G
caused by fitting the sausage superstructure.

Solution- stiffer springs to support a carbon fiber wiener.
