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.

I didn't even know the Wienermobiles were still around. This story was on our local news last night. Charles, thanks for making me laugh as usual.

Lol. It's sort of good that that only the garage and deck were damaged because at least the homeowners can stay in house while repairs are done.

Plus, they get to stay in the house, get a new garage and deck and NOT have to pay for it!!

I don't know, but in one of Jay Leno's Headlines books he has these weird photo/headline combos. In one of them there is a picture of a Wienermobile and the headline underneath says "Sex education requires parents". Jay's comment is "From the lock up your daughters department".

OMG, that's hilarious!!!! I read this yesterday on SO, but didn't read the entire story. Then tonight my friend said he about choked yesterday while reading about it (while eating!) on the Internet. He told us about the Weinermobile crashing through the garage, but the picture is a lot funnier than I imagined!!!
