Livi'sDad: /* Odd Facts Known by Few */

== Episode Info ==
'''<big>Aunt Bee Learns to Drive</big>'''
*'''Filmed:''' 180
*'''Aired:''' 180
*'''Original Air Date:''' 1966/02/07
*'''Writer(s):''' Jack Elinson
*'''Director:''' Lee Phillips

==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.

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.

== Character List ==
* Andy Griffith - Andy Taylor
* Ronny Howard - Opie Taylor
* Frances Bavier - Aunt Bee Taylor
* George Lindsey - Goober Pyle
* Aneta Corsaut - Helen Crump
* Howard McNear - Floyd Lawson
* Raymond Kark - Lowell the tree-trimmer
