| − | Thanks to Homer's dislike of the cars Herb's company was creating, Herb decided his company needed a new car that would appeal to the "average" American. Despite the many objections of Herb's employees, Herb encouraged Homer to follow his instincts in creating a car that American consumers would want to buy. Homer took charge of the project after Herb encouraged him to obey his gut when it came to what kind of car he wanted. Unfortunately, Homer's creation was such a monstrously strange car, it cost so much to develop, and had such a high price tag, that Herb's car company went out of business shortly after purchased by Komatsu Motors. [[Bart]] admitted to Homer on the drive back to [[Springfield]] he thought his car "was pretty cool" when the rest of the family were asleep in their seats. The final fate of the protype remained unknown. | + | Thanks to Homer's dislike of the cars Herb's company was creating, Herb decided his company needed a new car that would appeal to the "average" American.

Two toys have been made of "The Homer", the first was a model kit and the second was a special 2014 Hot Wheels diecast.
The Porcubimmer Motors team built a real racing car based on The Homer. The car is a 1987 BMW E30 and cost around $500 to make. Parts for the car were scavenged from everything like a 1956 Renault Dauphine, a tractor trailer and a Lincoln Mark VI. The car was build for the 24 Hours of LeMons parody race.[1] The Homer debuted race at the 24 Hours of LeMons race on June 29, 2013 where it came in fifth place.[2][3]
