Plot Summary
Aunt Bee becomes "Miss Independent Wheels" when she buys a car from Goober and then must learn to drive. She breaks her promise to Andy not to drive on her learner's permit without a licensed driver accompanying her and backs into a tree. Lighting strikes twice when Andy comes home and accidently bumps into Bee's car, causing him to think he's the one who dented it.
Odd Facts Known By Few
A male stand-in was obviously used for Frances Bavier in the driving lessons.
When Aunt Bee backs into Lowell's truck, her bonnet is tied (it's untied only a second or two before, though)
The street in front of the Taylor's home is alternately dry, then muddy.
