    I thought a cool little feature to add would be somewhat like an air cannon. This would not be an object, but a force more like the node grabber. Instead of acting on one node at a time, the air cannon would apply a force to the entire car, from the direction the camera is pointing. For example, looking at the side of a car and pressing a button sends the car flying away from your point of view. Looking down from the top and activating the cannon would crush the car.

    I think you can kind of do this with the wind app already unless I am mistaken?

    Somewhat, but its only on the horizontal axis. What if I want to launch a car up at a 45 degree angle? And it doesn't work well when you want to apply a massive force in an instant. It takes some time to spool up, and can tear the car apart in the process.
