Wait! We have to exchange insurance information!

With a mighty CLONK Angelorious finds her car being rocketed into the stratosphere.  (Okay, maybe it only actually tipped over, but I'm just not sure and I think rocketing upwards is far more dramatic.  That being said, what was with the collision?  It only deserved a CLONK?  It wasn't even bad enough to get a CLONK!?)  Things don't look good, and I'm starting to think that the only way Angelorious could have survived this one is for her to become a Freejack, and if that's the case, I only have one question: when is Mick Jagger going to show up?  Getting back to the comic, um, guy, shouldn't you and Dick be trying to help the poor woman in the car that is now on fire?  (The poor evil, murderous woman.  Yeah, well, put all that aside.  She's still a living being and nobody likes to be burned alive.)
Alas, it seems that our hero will be too late.  It also seems that Angelorious' car was made of tissue paper, gasoline, and flint.  It doesn't look like she's going to be coming back from this one, unless, as previously stated, she's a Freejack, or a Terminator.  (You never know.)  Okay, there's bit of logic here that doesn't make a lot of sense, and it could be that I've never seen the inner workings of a hybrid car, but don't those things still have oil in them?  Doesn't oil burn?  I have it on good authority (i.e., experience) that you don't necessarily have to ignite the fuel part of a vehicle for it to burn.  There's plenty of plastic and wiring and oils and fluids that can ignite and make a cheery little fire (and that's only mentioning the stuff under the hood.  There's also upholstery and things like that on the inside, and for all we know, that stuff that got squirted in Angelorious' face has a low combustion point and reached it sometime during the drive.).
