When Gus and Renata are in Interrogation, Brass shows Gus a picture of the gum stuck to the steering column of the car. However, earlier when Hodges found the gum, he peeled it off immediately without taking any pictures.
Nobody has ever been thrown by the impact of a vehicle hitting them.
The idea that anything could be thrown the length of a football field, even by a car traveling at racing speed is just laughable.
It's the equivalent of a boxer punching their opponent across the ring. The best have been recorded punching at 32mph, that's faster than most car collisions with pedestrians and their opponents don't move.
When someone or something is hit by a vehicle, they are immediately accelerated to the speed the vehicle was travelling at the moment of impact. At the same time that the car is decelerating(usually), meaning the person or object falls slightly in front of the vehicle, and may roll or skid a little across the ground, but they never take flight. As shown, the person struck effectively folds over the front of the car when hit. However, unlike the absurd scene, the person then simply falls when no longer being propelled; which is why, in many cases, particularly with larger vehicles (which take longer to stop), the person hit is run over by the still moving vehicle.
The only incidences of anyone doing anything that could possibly be described as taking flight are the result of impacts when the driver made no attempt to brake, or even accelerated into the collision, or the vehicle has a lower than normal front end, and the impact is in the centre of the bonnet. This causes the front of the vehicle to act much like a ramp, tossing the person up and over the top of the vehicle. Leaving them behind the vehicle, not a long way ahead of it.

In one scene, Brass is telling a group of uniformed officers to check for a 1933 Ford "Roadster". The photo behind him and the car being sought is a coupe. A roadster is an open car.
Nick states that the Porsche is a 1958 Speedster and that James Dean had one just like it. Dean's Porsche was a 1955 356 Speedster, the Speedster in the show was a 356A. "Little Bastard" (the car he died in) was a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder.
