Hello. I'm a total Simpsons nerd, and I spotted this:

In episode AABF19 (E-I-E-I-Annoyed Grunt), Homer states that his car was made in Guatemala.

Farmer 1: Well, well. Look at the city slicker pulling up in his fancy German Car. Homer: This car was made in Guatemala.

However, in EABF01 (The Great Louse Dectective), Frank Grimes, Jr. says that his car was made in Croatia.

Did anyone else spot this?

Thanks, Dante.

Knowing the Simpsons, I'd be more confused if the car's origin was consistent.

Yeah, but she'll go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene.

A wizard did it.

Ah, it never stops being funny. By the way, all your base are belong to us.

That was his old car. The one he crashed into a chestnut tree.

1. With the global economy, anything is possible. 2. After Guatemalan cars are old and beat up enough, they are re-sold as brand new Croatian cars.

Yeah. I happened to look up at the TV once when I was having sex with my beautiful supermodel girlfriend, and I happened to catch that.

For a brief period in the 1970s, Croatia was in Guatemala.

A better question is: How come the titles sequence has always depicted OFF as a TWO-car family? Has a phantom second car ever actually been seen, aside from during the credits sequence?

They have always had 2 cars. Marge drives an orange station wagon, Homer a pink sedan.

I always thought it was funny that Homer's always driven a pink car, and nobody's ever given him any flak about it, but the ONE TIME he wears a pink shirt to work, he get locked up in a looney bin...

Well, you both obviously have much better memories than I! So presumably, Homer's "ruining" Marge's car is what prevented them from driving to NYC to retrieve Homer's car abandoned there by Barney? Or is the chronology wrong? Or just the usual flexible continuity? Yeah, that's gotta be it.
