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.
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.
