As they feel they collectively are the best, the only thing that is holding them back is money to build the best vehicle possible. As such, they decide to rob a supermarket's office of the money in its safe to pursue their dream. On the most part, their robbery is successful, although their plan breaks down in its end phase, which doesn't allow them as much getaway time as they wanted.

With a police scanner and two-way radio in their souped up Dodge Charger, they try to outrun the police, who have an identification of their vehicle, and a general description of the three.

If you don't give me those

keys, i'm going to pop you.

Oh!

That's right, lady.

Now, let's have the keys.

Okay. Relax.

Souped?

Let's go.

I'm glad!

Your friend's

Okay, hang on.

You know what it means when somebody

like me gets off to a bad start?

Not a god-damn thing.

You've been holding those cars over my

head a year and i'm getting tired of it.

It's got nothing to do with you

or you getting your new patrol cars.

any fuel left.

You probably did.

Let's go fix up

the front end.

Hey, wait a minute.

Fix up the front end?
