How did Barney get out to Quiet Sam's farm? This is an excellent question and I think I've figured it out based on one of the "contradictions" that appear in our hometown from time to time. We all know that Barney bought his first car in Season Three from Hubcaps Lesh, but if you look at the epilogue of the Runaway Kid episode in Season One, Andy and Opie plan to push Barney's car in front of the fire hydrant. So apparently Barney had a car before the one that he bought. This would have been the car that he used to get out to Quiet Sam's farm.
I like to think that the car in the first season was passed down to Barney, maybe given to him after an emotional striking of a match on his dad's rock. In Season 3 the car that Barney gets from Mrs. Lesh is the first car that Barney actually purchases for himself. Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
