The Lame-o-sine is one of the many vehicles used throughout the series, and it serves as the Total Drama Action counterpart of the Boat of Losers and the Drone of Despair. It is a limousine used to pick up castmates who are voted off or eliminated. The eliminated castmates must ride in the Lame-o-sine after they walk the Walk of Shame. The Lame-o-sine is an old, poorly-maintained limousine, riddled with rust and some engine problems. Despite this, it can still drive. The driver of the Lame-o-sine is unknown.

In The Chefshank Redemption, Gwen is the fifth person to ride the limousine, after her elimination for owing the Killer Grips. She is handcuffed by Chef until Duncan jokingly tries to take her place.

In Ocean's Eight—or Nine, Owen is the ninth person to leave, but is not shown entering it onscreen.
