History[]

Season 5[]

One night when Boomhauer was out on a date Hank Hill, Dale Gribble, and Bill Dauterive took the vehicle for a joy ride. Dale, not knowing how to drive stick accidently drove it into the quarry as "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney played on the radio. Boomhauer was led to believe a "bunch of yankees" stole his car and believed it for almost 20 years. When the city made plans to turn the quarry into a dump Hank pretended to be put of Bobby's environment group to cover up removing the car as it still had their high school lettermen jackets in it; this would prove they were in car just before it fell into the quarry and thus incriminate them. When Bobby found out what his father was up to, he called Boomhauer. Upon hearing that Sally was found, Boomhauer leaps out of bed, throws on a pair of pants and heads down to the quarry and is tearfully reunited with his missing car once he wipes scum off of the license plate, revealing the Mustang's MSSALLY vanity plate. Hank showed his old lettermen to him admitted that he took the car as a prank and kept it secret, and is arrested afterwards. Dale and Bill hid their jackets and acted like they had nothing to do with it. When Dale and Bill asked for a ride home Boomhauer saw through their lies and told them "you drove it here so you drive it back". Dale and Bill attempt to drive Ms. Sally but due to spending 20 years underwater, it obviously doesn't work (not they realize this of course). Boomhauer chose to not hold it against Hank and let it go after a week or two.
