I now have a headache from the dreadful puns in that Reddit thread. I have to wonder how much insurance costs are on a motorized tube steak? In happier news, we saw a full-sized Weinermobile driving north on I-77 in WV back in April.

I would totally drive one in the Weinie 500. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/GVlc0lEpErc/maxresdefault.jpg "2025 Oscar Mayer Wienie 500 | Full Race Replay") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVlc0lEpErc) ---

I gather they distinguished the Wienermobiles by toppings. Not toppings on the actual vehicles; they were just named that way. “Chicago style” versus “New York,” etc. with “Slaw Dog” being the winner. Vegetables are important! ---

You’d think the best topping for a race would be catchup. ---

I worked with someone who did a summer internship as a Wienermobile driver. He said it was a fun job, but the vehicle itself was hard to handle, uncomfortable, and the engine was constantly in danger of overheating. ---

Hehe, which explains how one overheated over the course of two laps in the Wienie 500. ---
