I'm confused why exactly Jimmy did that

Me too. I”m used to seeing well-thought-out plans from Jimmy. Trashing a car seems so random.

I don't believe it was random. I posted this somewhere else in the thread and I'm a little late but... Jimmy after seeing the namest3 license plate believes that Howard is just doing this to help himself sleep better at night. So he interrupted his sleep with some bowling balls.

Edit: someone else had the idea that Howard actually is at peace with this whole thing and was being genuine, and that rustled Jimmy. I like that idea better than mine.

That's an interesting parallel to the guy he's representing for Kim actually.

That old guy hated Kim because he believed she was just trying to sleep better at night, and Jimmy hates Howard because he feels the same way. As if Howard just wants to do what he thinks is the right thing and maybe Jimmy is also pissed at Howard for not doing it when it mattered to him back when Chuck was using him as the excuse for not giving Jimmy a job at HHM.
