Malcom, Patrick
With help from behind, Malcom heaves himself clear of the car and hits the asphalt. Immediately it yanks his feet out from underneath him, and he tumbles. Not entirely unlike falling practice, he rolls along the road, saved from oncoming traffic only because there isn't any. Concussions are involved. The world spins around him too fast to spot the Maurader come roaring up from behind, narrowly missing him. That's when the passenger gets him with the door.
Like the Challenger, this is old Mopar. They didn't screw around with any of that aluminum crap back then. They made the frame out of steel, and if they needed to increase the power to weight ratio, why then they just threw more power into the engine. That door weighs about as much as Malcom, and coming along at nearly eighty, it hits him like a load of bricks. Patrick can see this all perfectly in his rear view mirror, and there's only one possible outcome.
It is not the door exploding into fragments, and those blasting outwards in all directions. The man who should be a bug splatter tumbles and rolls a few more times. More detritus falls down around him, this time from the vehicle. But he isn't dead. In fact, taking a door to the face hurts him significantly less then the drop to the road did. Not to underplay the pain caused by that, though. Malcom is only vaguely aware of what's going on due to that asphalt impact, but when he finally stops rolling, he sits up in a daze.
The Maurader goes sideways, shrieking across the road under the ungentle auspices of the emergency brake, and comes to a lurching halt. The tires are smoking like sand devils. Inside, looking out the opening on the shotgun seat, the driver and passenger can be clearly seen. They too are androgynous, indistinct figures nearly without emotions, and without a doubt they are staring, utterly baffled, at Malcom, trying desperately to figure out what the ---- just happened.

Maurader's roll to strike yielded
seven successes. Yeah, they hit.
Five skidding to a halt, and various perception rolls and other such stuff.
BA: Stamina + Resistance for hitting the asphalt.
BR: You're in perfect control of the Challenger. Given your roll, there's no glass inside, and the windshield is undamaged.
