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."

    It is "long lost cousin"; that comma really changes the meaning of the expression.

    I agree, the toy car looks like a better version of "The Homer" than the full-sized vehicle. Wasn't the homer supposed to be an $80,000+ vehicle? What's this doing in tech., anyways? I thought we quit putting things like case-mods in idle since about five years ago. This is hardly news, the build is crap, and it has less space than a nomad. lame.
