 [font class="ads"][font class="smalltext"][font class="body"][font class="body"]MANSFIELD -- Let's be frank: motor vehicle accidents aren't much fun for anyone.[/font]

[font class="body"]But when a 27-foot-long tube-steak spins out on a snow-covered highway, it's bound to generate some grins.[/font]

[font class="body"]That's what happened Sunday to an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile on Route 15 about two miles south of Mansfield (at least it didn't roll over).[/font]

[font class="body"]The growler contained two "hotdoggers" -- driver Emily Volpini, 22, of Lexington, Ky., and Caylen Goudie, 22, of Hinsdale, Ill. Although they didn't relish the experience, they weren't hurt, investigating state Trooper Rex Johnson said.[/font]

[font class="body"]"Hotdoggers" are goodwill ambassadors for Kraft Foods and Oscar Mayer. There are 12 of them in the country -- two for each of the six Wienermobiles. They spend a year on the job traveling around the country. Part of their job is to recruit their replacements.

[span style="text-decoration: underline;"]Question: If you won the Wienermobile, would you keep it and drive around in it everyday?[/span]

Okay, but you gotta drive.  I don't even like backing up a regular pickup with a longbox.

Give me a crate of Michel's slutty Stella Artois blonde and it'll be no problem at all.
