Fla. woman rides 'shotbun' in Weinermobile

[September 14, 2010]  ROLLING GREENS, Fla. (AP) -- A central Florida woman caught the eye of neighbors as she tooled around in a most unusual vehicle -- the Weinermobile.

Barbara Gilbert won a trip to ride "shotbun" in Oscar Mayer's eccentric car which resembles a giant hot dog. The 67-year-old Rolling Greens resident spent Saturday riding in the ketchup and mustard colored seats, visiting downtown Ocala and Silver Springs.

Dozens gathered to ride with Gilbert and have their picture taken with the colorful contraption.
