tl;dr: Steve Braithwaite has driven his 23-foot Big Banana Car over 250,000 miles since building it in 2008, and says he's been pulled over hundreds of times—usually by cops who just want photos or an excuse to chat. The latest stop happened in Billings, Montana, over a license plate issue, but he wasn't ticketed. Braithwaite now plans a "World Needs More Whimsy Grand Tour" to drive the banana through Central America and eventually around the globe.
