An Oscar Meyer Wienermobile crashed into the home and outdoor deck of Nick Krupp in Racine, Wis. on Friday morning, July 17, 2009. According to a witness, the vehicle was parked in the driveway. The driver lurched the vehicle forward instead of backing out of the driveway, hitting Krupp's deck and cracking the foundation of his house. (AP Photo/Journal Times, Tom McCauley)

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 drove it in 1989.

One of the better lines I heard was while driving down I-35 in Minnesota. Attractive young lady in a ragtop yelled out, "Where do you put the batteries?"

Only in America!

Afterwards, both the house and the wienermobile share a cigarette, with the house silently wishing there had been a little more foreplay.

A spokesperson for Oscar Mayer competitor Weinerschnitzel promptly denied claims their employees had sabotaged the Weinermobile's shift linkage.

"Are you crazy? Look at all the free publicity they're getting! We'd be better off paying for their tune-ups and brake jobs forever than letting THIS happen again!"
