** Sadly, his ride gets torn apart as he tries to get it back, and then utterly ruined when it crashes into a police transport. Worse, the recently-captured Overload was sitting inside the truck, and promptly combines with the wreckage, morphing it into an evil version of the original car, egging Cyborg on by boasting that he'll have to waste the car to beat him. Cyborg says it's not his car anymore, then blasts it into oblivion. Afterward, he builds an identical replacement... which gets nothing but further abuse in later seasons.
