During the highly anticipated Monterey Car Week, where luxury cars and exotic vehicles are showcased in all their glory, a McLaren wrapped in a Homer Simpson-themed design caught the attention of California Highway Patrol (CHP) for more than just its quirky appearance. According to Backfire News, the eye-catching supercar, adorned with images of Homer Simpson and donuts, was pulled over and cited for speeding, providing an unexpected twist to the prestigious automotive event.
The McLaren’s unusual wrap, featuring the iconic Simpson character surrounded by donuts, seemed almost destined to attract the attention of law enforcement. While CHP did not disclose the exact speed at which the vehicle was traveling, the incident quickly sparked online speculation. Some fans of the show joked that the police were simply drawn to the donut imagery, while others theorized about how fast the supercar might have been going.
The McLaren’s owner, who clearly has a sense of humor, may not have anticipated becoming a viral sensation for a speeding ticket. While some speculate that the driver was only slightly over the speed limit—perhaps enough to argue the ticket in court—others believe that the car may have been pushing its limits on the highway. However, without details on the speed, it’s difficult to say for certain.
Interestingly, despite the ticket, the McLaren was not impounded, suggesting that the offense might not have been as severe as some might think. The CHP, known for its increased speed enforcement during Monterey Car Week, used the opportunity to make an example of the unusual vehicle, even taking to Facebook to share a post that included a cheeky remark: “We could smell him speeding and had to stop him.”
