The 24 Hours of LeMons race is taking place tomorrow in Buttonwillow, CA. The race pits drivers of dirt cheap, amusingly-decorated cars against each other to see whose vehicle will actually run long enough to cross the finish line. We’ve already picked our favorite this year: Porcubimmer Motors’ replica of “The Homer” from The Simpsons.
In the 1991 Season 2, Episode 15 of The Simpsons, Homer came up with an idea for a new car he called “The Homer.” [Neatorama]
This replica has all the perfect little touches. There’s the engine that is “powerful like a gorilla”, and the Bart and Lisa dolls which are soft and yielding like a Nerf ball, and the brilliant callback of the BORT license plate. *kisses fingertips* Magnifique.
Check out the video below and there’s also a photo gallery here and an official Homer Car site here.
