My boyfriend sent me a picture the other day of a Weinermobile in his shop at work. Apparently they use Penske Truck Rentals to maintain and service their vehicles. I think there’s some pretty strict rules on how they can treat that truck versus all the other trucks they maintain, so he didn’t send me any further pics, like of him driving it or making lewd hand gestures behind it. After he sent it tho I kinda felt different. Like I was dating a very important person all of a sudden. ---

There’s probably a very small subset of women who would be more interested in a guy who drove a Wienermobile vs a guy who drove a Ferrari. That having been said, those women are my kind of people, so I’d also take it on a date. If the Wienermobile is a rockin’… Enjoy, Steven ---

Occam’s Razor says that this is the most plausible explanation. Maybe there was something wrong with the weinermobile’s grill. ---

Okay, the first one of us to do this will be a multi-millionaire by Thursday… Start a car rental company where you get to drive quirky vehicles. The ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ car, the TransAm from Knight Rider, BTTF DeLorean. James Bond cars (yes, the Aston-Martin has an ejector seat). Something faster? We have a Magnum, P.I. Ferrari, and ALL the Fast & Furious cars. You want a van? Okay… Dumb&Dumber, A-Team… or the Mystery Machine? And who wouldn’t want to pick up their date in The Batmobile? (any vintage, but I’d be tempted to drive the Adam West/Burt Ward version… and my date would have to wear her Robin costume) ---

A coworkers boyfriend once did this. It was a one year gig where he drove it around to events. He was paid but had to pay for his own lodging. He made deals for a free room at a hotel in exchange for parking it out front. He gave my kids a hot wheel of it which I think we still have. I guess it looks great on a resume. ---
