Oh my god. What was I thinking when I bought the geek machine?
Joyce Summers[src]

3HUJ259 was the license plate of Joyce's black jeep.[1]

History[]

Joyce often drove the Jeep when taking her daughter Buffy to Sunnydale High School.[2][3][4][5] She also drove Buffy from the Sunnydale Police station after Ted's apparent death[6] and to Maple Court when Buffy expected to meet Willow at Espresso Pump.[1]

At home, Joyce would park the car in the driveway located in the front yard.[7][8]

While Buffy was driving it, a reckless driver crashed into it under the influence of the Milkbar, causing a dent in its driver's door.[9] After Joyce's death, Buffy inherited the car; she drove it to Sunnydale High when she attempted to kill Principal Wood under R.J.'s love spell.[10]
