Probably a stolen car. The cost of fixing the potential damage to the car would probably exceed the value of anything they might steal.
The pedestrian had just crossed the street on the crosswalk and had stepped back onto sidewalk. He was still in the corner of the block when the car swerved to hit him, jumping the curb, cutting across the sidewalk at the corner, and clipping the bike lane pylons as it reentered the street. Clearly deliberate targeting.
Yes, targeted - as though they had to incapacitate the victim in case he was armed.
Who lives around these Simbas?
