Next, Homer goes to <a href="/wiki/Flesk" class="mw-redirect" title="Flesk">Flesk</a>, but when he learns that he must put the car together, he leaves the dealer. </p><p>Homer visits <a href="/wiki/Gil" class="mw-redirect" title="Gil">Gil</a> after seeing an ad for the electric car, <a href="/wiki/Clamb" class="mw-redirect" title="Clamb">Clamb</a>, and buys a car from him after giving Gil his old car. Homer comes home and tells everyone the news. Lisa tells Homer that the nearest refueling point for electric cars is in Shelbyville, and Homer discovers that the car can handle just a tour between Shelbyville and Springfield and back, but then he runs out of fuel. Homer then goes to complain to Gil and finds out that he sold his old car to <a href="/wiki/Cletus" class="mw-redirect" title="Cletus">Cletus</a>. Cletus has taken the car to the demolition derby, and Homer gets there with his electric car when the race starts. The derby is in full swing and it comes down to Cletus and Homer. After Cletus runs into the donut shop, Homer is declared the winner. Homer comes home with his old car and says he switched cars with Cletus. They also received cash prizes, just enough to repair their old car. Marge recalls that they must pay for Homer's electric car, but Homer reminds her that it will take five years until the first payment. Marge wonders what Cletus will do with the electric car, and it turns out that he has made it into a TV room, because the car has a built-in TV. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Reprints">Reprints</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pardon_My_Clunker&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Reprints">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <table align="left" width="50%" style="background: #e9d677;
