You just gotta love a vehicle shaped as a food item. I heard from someone that it was actually started as a prototype vehicle to carry the rules of aerodynamics to the very edge and that it is so aerodynamically efficient that it only needs 5 hp to reach 80 mph,,,, but then again the person that said that was nuts


VIVA the wiener mobile!
