Death of a Car

Danny is not happy that he's turning thirty. The family's planning a surprise birthday party for him, and they have the perfect gift idea: new seat covers for his car, Bullet.

But an accident happens and Bullet dies. The accident isn't Jesse's fault, but he still feels guilty. They feel so bad for Danny that Jesse and Joey go look for a new car for Danny.

The funny part follows, and the result is pretty humorous. I think this is one of the better episodes of Season One. Remember the captain of the fishing boat a few episodes back? She appears in this episode as a party guest.
