Giant Banana Pulled over in Montana Driver Says Cops Have Stopped Him 100s Times

Steve Braithwaite has been driving a 23-foot-long giant banana car across America for 15 years and has accumulated over 250,000 miles, making him one of the most frequently pulled-over drivers in the country—not for traffic violations, but simply because of the vehicle's novelty. Police officers regularly stop him, often just to photograph the car or chat, with Braithwaite estimating he's been pulled over hundreds of times. The Big Banana Car originated in 2008 when Braithwaite, inspired by a gas station banana while watching the British show "Top Gear," decided to build the vehicle on a pickup truck chassis as a personal project that unexpectedly became his daily driver.
