If the Planters Peanutmobile and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile both arrive to an intersection at the same time, which has the right-of-way?

I’m pretty sure they just merge into one. The reunion of the wiener and nuts will be a spectacular moment to behold, though unfortunately is also a latter phase of the phallocalypse.

Why…does the peanut car need to look like a wrinkly sack with two nuts in it? The dingy paintjob isn’t helping.
