Default Oscar Mayer Wienermobile

I saw it driving the other day and noticed that it uses LT1 Trans Am Tail lights. Just seeing if anyone else has noticed that.

If I got the Weiner Mobile to drive for a day, I'd definitely pimp that around base, and make sure I had a ton of official business to take care of. That'd be some funny **** to show up to a briefing in the Weiner Mobile...

I'd take it to a test & tune night. Seeing the Weinermobile doing a big smoky burnout would be awesome Wonder what the 60 ft times would be?
