An idea I was thinking is a mode, or key that puts players into a "shift" mode, like in Driver: San Francisco. Where it's a 3D overview with the ability to choose cars that are around. Unlike the vehicle menu in game in ROR that let's you switch between cars. In case you have 7 of the same cars you can switch into the specific one you want fast and easy. Also in "Shift" or whatever you would call it, you could move/lift/throw cars.
I would drive a car really fast, shift and smash into another car like I did in Driver. Which was pretty fun I must admit.
