Real Version of Homer Simpson's Dream Car Built

Posted by Soulskill on from the mmmmm,-dreeeeam-car dept.

Meshach writes "Some fans of The Simpsons have built a real-life version of Homer Simpson's dream car. In The Simpsons' world, Homer finds out he has a long, lost cousin named Herb Powell (voiced by Danny DeVito), who owns a car company in Detroit. Herb is so delighted to meet Homer that he allows Homer to design a car, which eventually ruins the company. This real vehicle is a working replica of the infamous car from the series."

    Herb: While you're here, I want you to make yourselves right at home. Anytime you're hungry, anytime day or night, Cook will make you anything you want.
    Homer: Even pork chops?
    Herb: Absolutely. We have a tennis court, a swimming pool, a screening room--
    Homer: You mean, if I want pork chops, even in the middle of the night, your guy will fry 'em up?
    Herb: Sure. That's what he's paid for. Now, if you need towels, laundry--
    Homer: Wait!
    Herb: Maids--
    Homer: Wait, wait, wait, wait! Let me see if I've got this straight. It's Christmas day, 4:00 a.m., there's a rumble in my stomach--
    Marge: Homer, please!
    Herb: Your old man sure loves pork chops!
    Bart: He sure does, Uncle Herb.

    ...no it isn't... It's a BMW with some stuff added to it for effect.

    As long as it has rack-and-peanut steering, it's close enough!
