What could be a more quintessential Tchotchke from the Road than the Wienermobile?
I have had the privelege to see this great machine twice. Once in Kansas City and the other day here in Houston. There are 7 of these that cruise the country. Marketing at it's best.

Dude, the wienermobile was busted a few years ago for stolen plates. Click below and read the Mishaps section. Somehow the officer thought that YUMMY vanity plates must have been pinched even though they were on the wienermobile!

...but wait! There's more!!!
Here's the NY Times obit for one of the original wienermobile drivers. In a less politically correct time they were called Little Oscars.
