Don Coatney Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Watching the news on the tube (intended pun) this morning I see the Weinermobile is in town. I commented to my wife that I would like to drive the Weinermobile but they would probably call me a Hot dog. Without blinking an eye she said I would be called a foot long.

RodFru2u Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks for that link to them, Next time I'm in up that way picking up parts for the MG I'll check them out for a tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulu Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Carlin Mfg, a local catering truck co, built one here in Fresno in '95. My ex-boss was a manager there. Harry Bradley designed it, famous for designing Hot Wheels cars & a few customs/protos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40plyrod Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Saw one up here on Saltspring Island 10 years or more ago. Not sure why it was there but I got to have a good look at it. Pretty neat machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Our pastor drove a weinermobile for a time during his college days. I haven't heard any tall tales from him about "hot dogging" or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthcranbrook Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I am so old I can remember going with my folks to see "Little Oscar" (the original one) when I was a child. Got a couple of Wiener Whistles. Must have made an impression cause I still eat a lot of Hot Dogs.

I like hot dogs..but Oscar Meyer is not on the top of my list..good dogs are often hard to find...all beef is the only way to go...Sabrettes (sp) is what I buy most often..and a chili slaw dog is the only way to devour them...you do know what they are made of right...(see movie quotes; Great Outdoors) Edited November 4, 2014 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulu Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I always wanted a Wiener Whistle. I just noticed the 1995 model has the same headlights as my old Pontiac Bonneville. I wonder if they used the Bonnie taillights too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still if I am going to eat cased meat I want one that really tastes good. all beef is the first tip off to a decent dog....chicken and pork..get real...same with bologna..get the beef..and brats...Johnsonville is in my book not up to par...Primo beats them..but..finding someone who stocks Primo..borders on impossible..but you can get all the other sausages in Primo brand..just seem J-ville has the south in brats..I guess it pays to flood the market with advertising..
