STRANGE BANANA CAR, TOASTER CAR SPOTTED AT MT. ZION - On Journey Circling The World

(01/21/2026)

Mom and kid stop by to check-out strange Banana Car 2013 It's not everyday I drive from Hur to Mt. Zion and spot a car that looks like a banana, accompanied by a car that looks like a toaster. The strange vehicles were parked along Rt. 16 at the Mount Zion Cemetery, the drivers no where to be seen. Being the dutiful reporter, I waited around a little while to talk with the drivers, but after snapping a couple photos I went on down the highway. Accompanying the Banana Car, was a Toaster Car, I haven't found much about it ... maybe they're waiting for a Peanut Butter Car One vehicle had a website across the windshield, so when I got home I looked up the story behind the banana car, and the toaster car. The Banana Car is on a journey to circle the world. Steve and Spade Braithwaite, AKA "The Dirty Brothers" are making a documentary film about building a huge banana car and then driving it from point A, around the world and back to point A. "The world is a wonderful and amazing place and what better way to see it than from the comfort of a large banana car," said Braithwaite. The Banana Car and its driver is one of several folks who have taken the back roads of Calhoun County on cross-country or world treks. We have encountered several such fascinating folks. Perhaps the cross-country walker that few locals knew about was a Calhoun visit from famous musician, songwriter and actor Art Garfunkel, formerly of "Simon and Garfunkel."
