> A Montana police officer spotted the giant banana rolling through Billings on Wednesday afternoon and did what countless law enforcement officers have done before him.

Boys in the blue in Montana,

Pulled over a giant banana.

Drawn by the appeel of the yellow four wheeler,

They spun jokes deadpan and deadpanner.

There's always money in the banana car

He should keep a log book for his police encounters, categorized by ticket with every cop putting their name and number into it so he can show the cops how often they waste everybody's time...

Have any of you seen the Weiner mobile?

That thing is so cool and I've seen it in the wild a few times.

The giant banana was spotted in West Seattle yesterday! https://westseattleblog.com/2026/06/seen-in-west-seattle-the...

That's a good looking car. I wish there were more of these on the roads.

Super cool article, love how the driver got bored of car shows and wanted to do something different. Article doesn't appear to mention any of the engine or chassis specifics?!

Reminds me of Dumb and Dumber when the cops say they're following a "1985 Sheepdog, sir"

I saw this very banana car while I was having brunch Sunday morning in Ballard Seattle!

How does this work with registration? Like what would they put for make and model for the car? I imagine there has to be a way to add custom cars to it.
