00:00This isn't a fruit, and it's definitely not a toy.
00:03It's a 23-foot-long street legal vehicle that started as a 1993 Ford F-150.
00:08This is the banana car, created by Steve Braithwaite.
00:11It took two years and $25,000 to turn a pickup truck into the world's most famous piece of fruit.
00:17It's powered by a V8 engine and can actually hit 85 miles per hour.
00:21But here's the best part, it's not just for show.
00:24Steve has driven this banana across the entire United States,
00:27giving rides to strangers for tips along the way.
00:29Despite its weird shape, it has all the legal requirements,
00:33headlights, blinkers, and even seatbelts for four passengers.
00:36But as you can imagine, driving it in the rain is a bit of a slippery situation since there's no
00:41roof.
00:41It's a machine built for one single purpose, to make people smile.
00:45It's the ultimate unlock for a world that takes itself too seriously.
