An Oscar Meyer Wienermobile crashed into the home and outdoor deck of Nick Krupp AP – An Oscar Meyer Wienermobile crashed into the home and outdoor deck of Nick Krupp in Racine, Wis. on Friday …
Fri Jul 17, 9:01 pm ET

MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. – One southern Wisconsin homeowner is probably not in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener. The famed hot dog's Wienermobile crashed Friday into the deck and garage of a home in Mount Pleasant, about 35 miles south of Milwaukee.

Police said the driver was trying to turn the Wienermobile around in the driveway and thought she was moving in reverse. But she instead went forward and hit the home. It sat in the driveway as if it were stuck in the garage Friday afternoon.

No one was home and no one was injured. No citations were immediately issued.

Both the home and vehicle suffered moderate damage, which Oscar Mayer spokeswoman Sydney Lindner says insurance will cover.

Police hadn't been able to speak to the homeowner as of early Friday evening.

Didn't say which Weinermobile. There are several, including smaller variants built on the Mini Cooper chassis.

In my previous job, Kraft/Oscar Mayer was located right next door. In addition to smelling the meat smokers running 24/7, I drove by the big company parking lot where the Weinermobiles were arrayed.

I think that is caused by a big lead foot. I've hit the wrong gear before, but I never went the wrong way more than a few feet.

Not even going to comment.

Not used to handling such equipment?

Better the garage door than the back door I suppose.

I did. It may have been after my time or I may have been shielded from such knowledge by my nerd status.

Either way, I'd be happy to have remained in my ignorance.

Hotdogs and hallways?
I guess I'm too old cause I didn't have a clue till I looked it up..

I did think about "hide the salami" when I saw the pic though.

I'd never heard of the smaller ones till you posted that. Looked up some pics and it's very cool.

I saw one of the full-sized ones in my town a year or so ago, first time I'd seen one since I was a kid. I was on the way to get coffin nails and my son wanted to ride along. We were waiting at a light and the Weinermobile turned in front of us and then into the Wal Mart parking lot a block or so away. I wheeled the van around and zipped back home - we were only about a mile away - to get my oldest daughter so she could see it and my wife said she wanted to go because she'd never seen it. By the time we got back to Wally World - maybe five minutes - the Wienermobile was gone. We were all disappointed.
