just caught the tail end of some film on TNT where some freak in a wheelchair was trying to kill a girl and guy with this rigged up car that supposed to allow his uber-disabled self to drive. ends with him being hooked onto the hood of a fastback barracuda the guy is driving, smashed into another car, and then blow away with a shotgun by some black guy who claims to be a "state traffic investigator".... any help? that was a *weird* lil clip

Hmmm... http://www.tnt.tv/schedule/daily/ says it was something called 'Highwaymen', starring Jesus!

Highwaymen - Since the hit-and-run murder of his wife five years ago, Rennie Cray (Jim Caviezel) has crisscrossed America in his souped-up, stripped-down '68 Plymouth Barracuda, pursuing her killer. The man he seeks in a high-speed, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse is James Fargo (Colm Feore), a merciless, wheelchair-bound pyschopath. Through a series of mechanical innovations, Fargo has turned his rampaging '72 Cadillac Eldorado into a monstrous extension of his own twisted body and mind. Now, their deadly battle of wits and wills is about to move into overdrive. And caught in their headlights is a tormented beauty (Rhona Mitra) who unwittingly holds the key to their ultimate showdown.

Sounds like a 70s drive-in feature. I'll have to watch out for that one. Put it on a double bill with The Car!

And don't forget The Wraith: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092240/
Which I initially thought this might be. I must have watched that movie 20 times as a kid when it was on HBO.

kub.. if the Wraith is the movie i remember, doesn't Sheen's character give a friend the Wraith (a dodge interceptor if i recall) at the end of the movie?

Something like that...I always missed the first 10 minutes or so and the last 10 minutes or so. Never cared enough to make a valiant effort to catch the rest. =]
