He can't take it back, but when gets an offer from the mob to steal his crappy car so he can get insurance to pay for another one, he takes them up on it. However, soon after, the mob comes looking for a favor in return. The Don requests that Peter take his obnoxious nephew, Big Fat Paulie, out to the movies. But the movies isn't enough for Big Fat Paulie, and he ends up coming home with Peter for dinner. When Lois refuses to let Peter befriend him, he tells Big Fat Paulie, and taking it the wrong way he puts a mob hit on Lois.

Lois: Together we can do anything: face any foe, overcome any obstacle.
Peter: Yeah, climb any mountain, rent any video, dial any phone. And not just our phone, Lois, other people's phones. Decent phones, God-fearing phones, phones that everybody else gave up on, but we knew better because we were a team!

Apparently, the car Peter buys only has a drawing of an engine in it. However, Peter drives it a few feet before crashing. The car shouldn't have been able to move at all with only a drawing of an engine in it.
 
The new car appears to be a Sedan in one scene, yet in another it's obviously a Volkswagen Beetle.
 
The hubcaps on Peter's car have 5 spokes at first, then 6, then back to 5.
 
Peter is behind Lois, who is sitting on the couch, then Meg comes in to talk about her school play and he is suddenly on the couch next to her.
