    My husband, my brother and I were driving home from our older sisters funeral when the Weiner Mobile passed us on the tollway. That put a smile on our faces on what was a very sad day.

    I saw my only Wienermobile at the Cliff Drive shopping center in Santa Barbara, California in the mid-1950s. I walked up to the shopping center and there it was, in all its glory! I was, however, surprised to see the chef, who I thought was a boy, was actually a little man, quite middle aged. I was dismayed, but enjoyed the experience of seeing a giant wiener parked in the lot.

    Fun story! I've always been fascinated by that (goofy) Wienermobile. I have seen one in my town, but never up close or inside of it. About 10 years ago, somebody posted a photo of one parked in front a person's apartment, in an urban area. It had a surreal look,...(I wondered if they ran out of gas and abandoned it?) I knew they would never do that.

    I imagine one could learn to drive it by practicing on any of today's largest RVs. It's great that so many young people can be easily taught how to drive it. On open roads and in parades, would be a cinch. In rush hour traffic,.....I think not. I suspect they don't drive it everywhere.
