Just in time for the annual 24 Hours of LeMons race in California this weekend, the lads at Porcubimmer Motors have recreated Homer’s monstrosity and although it doesn’t comply exactly to Homer's quite exact specifications – it would be tough considering that cars have to be put together for $500 or less – it’s the same colour, it has a bubble dome, the horn plays the sound of "La Cucaracha" and in our favourite feature of all, it comes complete with ‘Bort’ license plates.
Genius.
