Nope, you're not seeing double — that's the same video we ran earlier. But jeez, we just had to. We mean, we leave the office for a few hours to catch opening day and we can't even get the one thing we wanted run right today to actually get run right. First off, Springfield Dodge is trying to sell off the remainder of their 2007 Dodge Avengers, not Chargers. But more importantly, the reason this episode is so epic is one of us heard one of their family members get name-dropped on the show. That's right, great-uncle Admiral Hyman G.

Homer's old beater-mobile got one too many dings rear-ending the back of a Pacer look-alike (with what we're assuming can only be an aftermarket airbag) and needed some time in the ol' repair shop. Homer finds himself behind the wheel of a loan-er brand-agnostic luxe-mobile with a remarkable similarity to the new Cadillac CTS. The inside jokes run freely throughout the episode's side storyline, and include what may be the funniest car-related Simpsons line since the Canyonero commercial song. To wit: More »
