![]() Homer is frustrated and refuses to go, claiming New York to be a "hell-hole". However, Lisa bursts in with a letter from New York City, saying that Homer's car is dumped in the borough of Manhattan and that he must retrieve it in three days or it will be ( at his expense) thrown into the East River. Homer proceeds to construct a new car out of a mattress, flashlights, and other various parts from the garage ( with Marge knitting him seat belts). Homer then rides angrily off on a scooter to pick Bart and Lisa up from school, although not before making clear to Barney that him needing to pick up his kids on time is the only reason why he did not beat Barney up in revenge for losing his car. Homer furiously demands to know what Barney did with his car, but Barney tells him he has no recollection of any events that happened over the last two months ( except for "giving a guest lecture at Villanova. Because, he arrives in the trunk of a limousine, completely hungover with bloodshot eyes, discolored skin and most of his motor skills absent. Ironically, Moe soon found out he was wrong about Barney not returning. But, Moe tells Homer to face it that the car is gone and Barney's never coming back. Homer hangs missing signs claiming his car was last seen with Barney. ![]() Two months later, Barney with Homer's car haven't returned. Barney promises an inebriated Homer that he will return his car the following day, but this proves to be untrue as he undergoes a severe mental breakdown. Then Barney drops off Lenny, Carl and Homer at their homes, each of them suggesting a nonsensical destination ( Lenny suggesting the "girls college", Carl the "Playboy mansion" and Homer the "Lost City of Gold" all of which Barney refers to as "sweet, beautiful drunk talk"). After quickly stating that Duff supports the designated driver program, Duffman remains at the bar to party with the drunks. Barney has an outburst, saying that he can't because he is the designated driver. What toleration there was ( if any), quickly got destroyed when the Duff van arrives at Moe's ( playing the Yello song 'Oh Yeah' so loud it makes Barney's bowl of nuts shake) and Duffman emerges with a bottomless mug of icy cold beer for Barney and the crowd shouts at him to chug. While his friends enjoy their drunken antics, Barney is twitching uncontrollably and is not even sure if he can tolerate having to be sober period much less around everyone else getting drunk. Barney, the most unlikely one, draws the black egg and therefore becomes the designated driver for the night. This prompts Moe to hold a pickled egg drawing to see who will stay sober and be the designated driver. When Moe's " evening rush" comes into the bar one night, he tells his customers that they are responsible for 91% of all traffic accidents in Springfield so they will now have to choose designated drivers to prevent any more accidents. But when the family journeys to New York to retrieve their car, Homer faces a one-on-one showdown with the dreaded boot.
