Ep 17. Arrivederci, Fiero

Ted decides to sell his beloved red sports car, or "the Fiero," in order to pay for the damages he caused during a fender bender. Marshall and Barney offer to help him sell it, but hilarity ensues when they accidentally set it on fire during a photoshoot for the ad. Meanwhile, Robin volunteers to be Ted's designated driver for the night, but her plans are foiled when she runs into her ex-boyfriend, Simon, at the bar. Simon, who is still in love with Robin, begins to pursue her relentlessly, leading Ted and Marshall to come up with a plan to distract him so Robin can escape. Amidst all the chaos, Ted reminisces about all the memories he shared with the Fiero and ultimately comes to a bittersweet decision about letting it go. As the night comes to an end, the gang must face the consequences of their actions, including the burnt Fiero and Simon's persistent pursuit of Robin.
