This is a tricky one to decide a place for, as it is about a PS2 game, but the question is more in reference to the actual show. Anyway, on level 5 of Hit & Run (Apu's level), there is a car you can win from the street races called the El Carro Loco, which is basically a souped-up looking pickup truck with blacked out headlights and a purple neon light on the underside. I've been through the entire game, gained every car there is on there, and for most of them I can recall their reference on the actual show, but I can't ever recall seeing the El Carro Loco on an episode before, and with a distinctive name like that I figured it must be fairly relavent.
Anyone shed any light on where this came from?

Ooh, Im still stuck on Lisas level and gawd does she annoy me!! The name must be from an episode as most of the gags in the game are derived from in-jokes from the show, but I haveta say I dont recognise the name. And I am a huuuuuge Simpsons fan and a fountain of Simpsons/Futurama knowledge. Ive probs seen the episode in question, unless its a new series episode on Sky, Ive not seen most of them as Ive been at uni and cant afford Sky. *sniff sob* I do have at home a Simpsons trivia book (yes Im that obsessed!) which has all the details from most of the episodes, like what Barts writing on the chalkboard at the beginning of episodes and secret stuff for Simpsons nerds to look out for in each episode. Odds are if its not a new episode, the name will be in there. Ill have a looksee coz its bugging me now as well!! grr!!

It sounds spanish, and the only spanish people on The Simpsons I know are the Bumblebee Guy, and that Senor Ding-Dong. Could it be one of theirs?

as far as I can tell it has no reffrence in the series at all, i'm a very avid fan and have seen almost every episode and I rings no bell, it may simply be a small injoke for the creators, or from a u.s episode never aired over here but I doubt that as sky arn't to far behing the u.s :-\

And Simpsons Hit & Run is quite old. So any episodes unaired in the UK at that time, more than likely have.
Is it Senor Ding-Dong though? From the episode where Marge gets a doorbell and it doesn't shut up?
