Seems like EVERYBODY'S uploading Wienermobile videos this week!!!!!! You, Saabkyle04, OldCarMemories..................GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone tell me who performed that hip-hop version of the OMW jingle at 2:53?!!!
@@cpufreak101 I might. I Was born in 86 and I never saw it in person. Just on T.V. So u maybe right. Honestly not sure. I didnt know there was a redesign.
@@OGDACMAN86 yeah if you were born '86 you're more than likely thinking the '95 redesign then (which remains the current model, the body just gets put onto a new chassis with a new engine every so often)
A friend got a job as a Hotdogger right out of college and one night showed up to a dinner getogether in the Wienermobile. Wish I could have driven it, but riding in it was the next best thing! The newer ones run a GM 6.0L V8, so they really haul buns! To steal one of Craig Singhaus' puns, I relish that memory.
I remember seeing the Wienermobile when I was a kid. I was so excited to think it was a food truck selling fresh cooked hotdogs. Only to find it does not sell any food.
I LOVE this so much. Too much fun, and it looks like everyone had a blast! 👍 I wonder if Oscar Mayer still has this '88 example? Love the name "Yummmm" P.S. I also wonder if Andy, Pat, and Victoria are still around to see this after 30+ years. Must have been amazing knowing this experience is a part of your youth.
The version I grew up knowing had late 90s Trans Am taillights. And as a young gearhead growing up, my first reaction to the Wienermobile wasn't "look mom, there's a hot dog driving down the street." It was "look mom, that hot dog driving down the street has Trans Am taillights!" 🤣
fun facts: In June, 2007, a Wienermobile with the Wisconsin license plate of YUMMY made headlines after being stopped by an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer for having an allegedly stolen license plate. Officer K. Lankow had observed the Wienermobile slowing traffic and checked the license plate to determine if the vehicle was street legal. The license plate came back as being stolen out of Columbia, Missouri,so the officer stopped the Wienermobile and detained the driver. Oscar Mayer had not notified police that they had obtained a replacement plate after the previous one was stolen, and that it should be considered stolen only if not on a Wienermobile. The Wienermobile was released soon after the error was discovered. On July 17, 2009, a Wienermobile on a cul-de-sac in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, was attempting to turn around in a residential driveway. The driver accidentally accelerated forward while thinking the vehicle was in reverse, which lodged the Wienermobile under a house and destroyed its deck. From June 28, 2009 to July 19, 2009, a Wienermobile visited Hawaii and was met with harsh criticism from the local Outdoor Circle,[citation needed] best known for pushing Hawaii's strict billboard ban through the 1927 legislature. A representative for the Oscar Mayer company insisted that the mobile hot-dog-on-a-bun did nothing wrong. There was no indication that an environmental impact statement would be demanded. On Sunday, January 26, 2020, a Weinermobile was pulled over by a Waukesha WI sheriff's deputy for violating the Move Over Law, which requires motorists to pull over one lane to pass an emergency vehicle with its warning lights on. The Hotdogger was issued a warning.
A late 80s Chevy van V6. The 0-60 must be counted in hours instead of seconds. That's crazy unless they were worried it would flip over if it had more power.
You can really tell the designer was a GM guy. On top of a van chassis it's also got the mirrors, headlights, and tail lights. Can't imagine how gutless that V6 is though, the modern one had the body redesigned in 1995 using Pontiac headlights and Camaro tail lights, and currently sits on a 2017 GM truck Chassis with the 6.0 Vortec
I Wanna know more. The one they showed is a 3 on the tree , so I'm wondering if it's a inline 6 in that one. In 88 would be 2.8 or 3.4 if it was a V6 yeah? I don't think a 2.8 would move that with a 3 one the tree lol
I remember in the mid 90s, one visited our local Kroger. They let us go inside it. ...it’s smelled terrible. It smelled like someone had not taken care of this vehicle at all! I think those poor drivers had been using it as a motor home all those years!
The MW road test was the wurst. The crew just couldn't meat the specs. They mustard all kinds of ways to make it perform better, but it couldn't ketchup to the other cars. At the end of the day, this old dog just got grilled. That's enough cheese, I think. 😂😂😂

But what was the 0-60 time and how did it do in the cone slalom test?
Eventually..and don't even try it.
you mean the coney test?
😂😂😂
I relish the thought
0-60 in 1 minute. Slalom, it’ll probably roll over. 1/4 mile. I’m not done yet.
MW turned the puns up to 11 for this one...and I love it.
"Lamborweenie" lol
Man I love the retro 60 fps. Makes me real nostalgic of 90s television.
Felt like I was loosing my mind while watching this
Because of the overpundance of bad puns?
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t watch this on acid, I am losing my mind.
Better tighten it up
Think you meant loosening lol.

Sounds like a basketball player from the 80's
@@kevina2052 Awesome.
What?! Just a V6 ?!...That fine sausage needs to be LS swapped.
Pat McMiller the best V6 ever made though.
The new ones have 6.0 liter vortec v8's
Jeffery Epstein was just thinking a diesel! Haha
Needs to become a Lamborweenie
@@samsquires2877 a 3.8?
I remem this from a while ago. Back when it was still new. Damn, Im getting old. Thanks MotorWeek for this retro review.
What are you, 40?
Youre not mistaking the 1995 redesign are you?
@@cpufreak101 I might. I Was born in 86 and I never saw it in person. Just on T.V. So u maybe right. Honestly not sure. I didnt know there was a redesign.

Motorweek reviewed anything lol
so has saabkyle04
James Cyr not the same...
I saw this Wienermobile twice in front of my local department store a few years ago. It was as cool to see in person as it is to dream of.
Does it have oil pressure and temperature gauges?
If the dash is the same as the Chevy vans it’s based on, YES!
Don't forget a volt meter too
It's got all the wiener meters
@3:19 "That's a load of baloney." And then he hits his glasses on the pointy window. 😝
i dont think he did bud
Did he??
@@bowie2004 Yup, he did! Cheers! ;-P ruclips.net/video/_yTj7hl9dJo/видео.html
@@williamb304 if you look at the bloopers of motorweek he did
There were a lot of puns in this segment.
I remember watching this episode when I was a kid. Craig Singhaus was the best!
This was an excellent surprise video. Pulled out of the great big nostalgia box.
this is one of the best retro reviews
The Wienermobile sounds like a perfect car name from Wayne's World
Schwing.
That reminds me, in 2015 the Wienermobile took a spin around the Laguna Seca Raceway.
There are some incredible photos of it on the corkscrew.
Aside from the bad puns that 80s mix was pretty good, great video to put a smile on your face!
Weird to see this after watching saabkyles review of the modern one. SO MANY PUNS.
A friend got a job as a Hotdogger right out of college and one night showed up to a dinner getogether in the Wienermobile. Wish I could have driven it, but riding in it was the next best thing!

I always thought they were lunch wagons that sold hotdog lunches!
But they weren’t.
Great review as always MotorWeek
I remember seeing the Wienermobile when I was a kid. I was so excited to think it was a food truck selling fresh cooked hotdogs. Only to find it does not sell any food.
Dang. I was hoping to see the inside of one of those things
Saabkyle04 recently did a tour of a newer one.
It's fairly basic inside. Carpeted floor and just some seats. It's more meant to be looked at than be rode in.
@@cpufreak101 look at a wiener
The puns, oh the puns! 🤣
I'd love to pick up my kid from school in this 👍
Just to see the look on her face
Dave Berry did.
I LOVE this so much. Too much fun, and it looks like everyone had a blast! 👍 I wonder if Oscar Mayer still has this '88 example? Love the name "Yummmm"
P.S. I also wonder if Andy, Pat, and Victoria are still around to see this after 30+ years. Must have been amazing knowing this experience is a part of your youth.
Omgoodness I love the little sing at the end😂
The version I grew up knowing had late 90s Trans Am taillights. And as a young gearhead growing up, my first reaction to the Wienermobile wasn't "look mom, there's a hot dog driving down the street." It was "look mom, that hot dog driving down the street has Trans Am taillights!" 🤣
Yes and the front lights were from the 92-95 Grand Am on that generation
Aah old memories, makes me smile.
I was hoping to see it go through the slolem, a 0-60 time test, and a braking distance test!
"...I never SAUSAGE a thing!"
😂😂😂
Please! No more hot dog puns!😂
So that's where the "That's a lot of baloney!" clip in that blooper reel came from. I never would have expected that he was in the Wienermobile.
Me neither
The dad jokes are insanely good
2:45 there were two different versions look at the headlights.
the 1958 version and the 1988
I believe they said there was a fleet of 6.
They came to my preschool when I was 4 in 1988 and I was one of the few kids that got to go inside it.
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life.

This is a video I didn't know I needed.
I lost my Wienermobile whistle down the floor heater of our home back in the mid 70s :-(
Big weiners never seem to go out of style. When these weinermobiles get old they start to slow down especially after 55 years old.
This is peak MotorWeek.
Prime candidate for an LS swap!
gee whiz, I Really wanted to see 0-60 1/4 mi runs and see it go thru the slalom!
Motorweek saw the SaabKyle video
I officially tapped out at 2:10 from all the puns.
I parked next to one of these at New Carrollton just a few years back.
I remember these. Still around?
A late 80s Chevy van V6. The 0-60 must be counted in hours instead of seconds. That's crazy unless they were worried it would flip over if it had more power.
It was in Minooka Il on Wednesday at the Marriott.
ha did you watch saabkyles channel this week?

I think I like the bottom part better with the bright yellow but the new one has.
I Wanna know more. The one they showed is a 3 on the tree , so I'm wondering if it's a inline 6 in that one. In 88 would be 2.8 or 3.4 if it was a V6 yeah? I don't think a 2.8 would move that with a 3 one the tree lol
these puns are hot, dawg!
I remember the tv commercials with the newer version.
No handling test? :D
"They call me Pun-Dawg"
I remember in the mid 90s, one visited our local Kroger. They let us go inside it. ...it’s smelled terrible. It smelled like someone had not taken care of this vehicle at all! I think those poor drivers had been using it as a motor home all those years!
I saw one of these pulled over.
3:12 Certainly not sporty suspension - this dog was built for comfort, not speed.
These hot dog puns are funny.
The MW road test was the wurst.
The crew just couldn't meat the specs.
They mustard all kinds of ways to make it perform better, but it couldn't ketchup to the other cars.
At the end of the day, this old dog just got grilled.
That's enough cheese, I think. 😂😂😂
You can tell this was filmed in the 80s. everyone was more friendly and social back then 😕
Absolutely! I wish I had a time machine.
came for the car, stayed for the puns.
Insane, but wonderful all the same!
I’m surprised that no one asked the hotdoggers if the Wienermobile had a bathroom.
There was two here...round headlights and square headlights.
My bologna has a first name and it' Oscar.
My bologna has a second name, and it's MEYER.
All I want to know is what is the 0-60mph time on that Lamborweinie
Good stuff.
0:23 “here’s a behind the scenes look of Craig Singhas, HARD at work” episode goes on to talk about weiners for 3 minutes
What’s under the hood? Well I meant under the hot dog? Maybe powered by 100 Dachshunds? Hmmm 🤔
I seen one of these out here in Vegas now
I’d drive that !
Bu does it have a voltmeter and oil pressure gage?
0:20 “where do get your ideas?” Is the number 1 stupidest question ever lol
Yep. This happened.
Ok, we get it, Craig. Buns intended.
Someone owns one of these in my area. I have seen it driving around several times.
Does it have an oil pressure gauge and a voltage gauge??
This was a dog gone good video.
Madison WI baby!
Any oversteer?
No road test ? Nothing ? No engine, nothing ?????
Just when I thought they'd reviewed everything
0:36 my last brain cell at 3 am
This will be my vehicle if I get the Coronavirus
So many puns.
If you want to see the new incarnation of the wienermobile, check out saabkyle04
I've seen that video
are we not gonna talk about 1988 having 60fps video...
:51 BONG HIT!
Something Funny 0:51
Wow they were for real...
Oil pressure gauge?
Youd think they would show the inside
Should be renamed the Pun Mobile. That was truly painful.
What’s with all the puns?
Humanity has peaked.
Again I've been unexpected a weiner-mobile to show up my feeds.
