That or put a stone tanker in the way and complain when they remember that NPCs push you, not vice-versa.
Probably, but hey then the car is stopped and all the bad guys get out and start blasting away..

This is part of an idea for Dynamic Content, I had a while back where the guys you see trying to break into cars actually get in and drive off guns blazing. The PPD would give chase, but any hero in the area could join in to stop the car before it got to zone tunnel and escaped. Damaging the car would slow it down (although it only went slightly faster than sprint for the non-travel powered), but it would have pretty decent resistance. Stop the car and the occupants go running in all different directions. This could also be part of bank robberies in Safeguard missions where you stop the get-away car (or craft). I think it would be a great new addition to just mugging, loitering and sugggested drug dealing ( I mean really who announces they have drugs for sale?)

Excellent encounter idea for routine city patrols.

I approve! And it would also be awesome if we have our own vehicles to chase the bad guys with.

I had something similar toughts some time ago so its great idea.

Cars could use same mechanism like some devouring earths and clockworks. When we explode car bad guys pops out (spawns) - splat - and starts fight. Cars itself not need any complicated new engine. They works fine as boss or lieutenant class mobs.

I was wondering if there was any way to do a car accident also, where you have to either damage the car enough to get the person out, or maybe it is on fire, and you have to put out the fire?

Any other suggestions? I always thought the train one was cool.
