Did You See a Banana on Wheels in Portage, Michigan?

If you were in Portage, Michigan recently and you thought you were going crazy because you thought you saw a giant banana driving down the street, I have good news—you're not crazy!

What you saw was The Big Banana Car.

The Big Banana Car of Michigan

Now, when I say 'banana car', please know I'm not talking about a giant yellow car. No; I'm talking about a car that looks like a literal giant banana. Looks like a banana, drives like a car.

To be fair, The Big Banana Car was a 1993 Ford F-150 pickup truck back in the day, before creator and owner Steve Braithwaite made all the banana-related modifications.

Yes, You Can Ride in the Banana

Nowadays, Steve is trying to drive The Big Banana Car "everywhere they'll let" him, and he's offering people rides along the way.

If you'd like to take a ride, the Big Banana Car is a 4-seater, and if anyone riding along normally requires a car seat, be sure to bring that too. And the cost? Well, according to the official Facebook page, it's "pay what works for you".
