Imagine driving down the street and seeing a giant, vibrant yellow banana on wheels cruising by. That’s the incredible Big Banana Car, the brainchild of Steve Braithwaite, an automotive enthusiast with a mission to spread joy and a bit of delightful absurdity wherever he goes. Built over two years with the help of friends and completed in the spring of 2011, this unique vehicle is more than just a car; it’s a rolling testament to creativity and the power of whimsy.
Since its completion, Steve has piloted the Big Banana Car across the United States, ventured into Canada, and even taken a memorable day trip into Mexico. His ongoing journey is fueled by a simple yet profound goal: to drive the banana car to as many places as possible, connect with people from all walks of life, offer rides, and find those special individuals who inject fun and peculiarity into our world. This banana car isn’t just for show; it’s a vehicle for connection and shared experiences.
To sustain his travels and keep the Big Banana Car rolling – covering fuel costs, maintenance, and daily expenses – Steve has partnered with Printify. This collaboration allows supporters to contribute to the adventure by purchasing Big Banana Car themed merchandise, including t-shirts and coffee mugs. Every purchase directly aids in keeping this incredible banana car on the road, spreading smiles and turning heads.
Steve extends a special invitation to connect with the Big Banana Car community. He encourages everyone to follow the Big Banana Car’s Facebook page to stay updated on its travels and adventures. And for those lucky enough to spot the banana car parked, there might be a small treasure waiting on the dashboard – a free memento as a token of Steve’s appreciation for the support and smiles he receives on his journey. These small gifts are Steve’s way of sharing the generosity he’s encountered and ensuring these tokens of kindness find appreciative homes. Just remember, the phone on the dash is definitely not part of the giveaway!
The Big Banana Car is more than just a novelty vehicle; it’s a symbol of fun, connection, and the joy of embracing the unexpected. It’s an invitation to see the world with a sense of wonder and to appreciate the whimsical side of life, all while riding in a giant banana.
