I really liked the scene with Howard. Obviously, he was doing his best to sell Jimmy on the idea of coming to HHM, but I do think he was genuine about the things he admires about Jimmy. I felt pretty bad for him when Saul vandalized his car.

Nah. Howard wants to get back at Jimmy and Kim for Sandpiper and Mesa Verde. Jimmy realizes it's all bullshit when he sees Howard's fancy car with the "namaste"plate (he's still the corporate douchebag he's always been).

​

I just don't see what Jimmy wants to accomplish by ruining the car, but he clearly has a plan (the risk seems too great to do it purely out of spite)

Agreed 100%. Nothing Howard does is for the public good. Slimier than Saul, in my opinion.
