Character Information

Thayer Blackburn is the owner of the Lambuggini Dealership in Springfield and the husband of Anne Blackburn.
History
Anne and Thayer moved into 740 Evergreen Terrace, next door to the Simpsons. The Simpsons went to visit their new neighbors and Thayer invited Homer out to play pickleball then get ice cream. Homer and Thayer struck up a friendship, to Homer's surprise as he didn't know why Thayer wanted to be his friend. After they had ice cream, Thayer let Homer drive his Lambuggini and Homer told Thayer that he'd do anything and sign anything to remain his friend. Anne and Thayer and Homer and Marge then went on a double date where they went to Sir Putt-A-Lot's and to a fancy restaurant together.
The morning after the double date, reconstruction on the Blackburn house had started, which Homer realized that he had signed off on because he was bribed by Thayer. When Homer went to confront Thayer at the Lambuggini Dealership, Thayer let Homer borrow a Lambuggini until the reconstruction was over. However, the Blackburn mansion was eventually too much for him and Marge, due to the size of it blocking out the sunlight. After finding out that Evergreen Terrace was built on the spot where Springfield was first founded, meaning that the Blackburns were allowed to remodel their house, Homer gave the Lambuggini back to Thayer.
