With determination, you force yourself to ignore the agonizing pain and concentrate instead on escaping from the clutches of the other Maverick clansmen. Again, you attempt to start the car, but this time you take your foot off the gas as you turn the ignition switch, despite an almost overwhelming urge to stamp the pedal straight through the floor. The move works - the engine roars back to life - and within seconds you are accelerating away from the barricade, your eyes glued firmly to the convoy's tail lights.
