The car was previously owned by a traffic criminal named Niles.
As they enter the city streets, two cars speed by and they pursue them. The speeders split up and the Trans Am turns down a side street and tries to turn around. As he is sideways, Jon hits the car and flies over the hood.
The speeder takes off on foot as Ponch arrives at the scene of the accident to find Jon in pain.
Jon arrives at the hospital and Getraer meets him there. Out at Al's Garage, the Trans Am's driver arrives and tells his buddy that he ditched the car and then reported it stolen. He figures that as long as his buddy sticks to the story that they were together, he'll be in the clear. He blames the cops for messing things up his whole life and vows to get even.
