damaging cars in interesting ways

[n0ughty_b0y]

on the Mafia wikipedia page it mentions "the ability to puncture the fuel tank, overheat the engine, and to break transmission gears."

I know busting the fuel tank is true, so I would like to test the other 2 methods, how should I go about overheating the engine and breaking gears?

By "overheating the engine" they probably just meant damaging the car enough to cause steam or smoke to rise from it.

As for the transmission, uh, I think, some very damaged cars won't shift. That typically means they're stuck in whatever high gear they were in when they crashed. I don't know if M/A has any effect on it.

Just get a car and crash into things; around the time your front axle is wobbling these things occur.

maybe, I do recall having a car stuck at low speed after a bump, but I'm thinking the manual gear shifting feature may at least be relevant to overheating, i.e. pushing the car too hard in the wrong gear?
