The Canyonero is said to have space for over thirty passengers as well as the driver. The Federal Highway Commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for both highway and city driving.[Citation needed]

Homer bought a red Canyonero. However, he soon realized that he had mistakenly bought the F-series for women. After that, he refused to drive it, not wanting to be seen as a homosexual.[2]
After Homer quit driving the Canyonero he had bought, Marge assumed posession of it and started driving it. She found that it brought out her aggressive tendencies, to the point of road rage.[2]
