[BUG REPORT] Player Can Damage Vehicles While Inspecting Them in Career Mode

Hi BeamNG Team,

First of all, thank you for the amazing work on Career Mode — it's a fantastic addition that really brings a whole new layer of gameplay to BeamNG.drive!

However, I’d like to report a small but strange bug I encountered during my playthrough. It’s not game-breaking, but it’s unexpected and potentially confusing for new players.

Description of the bug
When I go to a dealership and use the "Inspect" function to preview a car before buying it, something odd happens:

• The vehicle loads into the world as a real, physical object,
  
  
• At the same time, my character is still active and fully controllable,
  
  
• This allows me to jump on the car, and unfortunately...
  
  
• I can break the windshield, dent the body, or damage lights, during the inspection.
  

The damage persists visually until I switch to another car or reload the view. The price doesn’t change, but it creates the impression that the car is being sold in damaged condition, even if it was originally pristine.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Career Mode and go to any car dealership.
   
   
2. Approach a car and press “Inspect”.
   
   
3. As soon as the car loads in for inspection, jump onto it using the character.
   
   
4. You'll notice the car takes physical damage (glass shatters, panels dent).
   
   
5. The damage remains visible during the inspection.
   

Suggested fixes or improvements
To avoid confusion or abuse of this behavior, here are a few possible ideas:

• Make the vehicle invincible or non-physical during the inspection phase,
  
  
• Temporarily freeze or disable the player's movement while inspecting,
  
  
• Load the car into a protected preview environment, separate from the main world.
  

Why this matters
Even if it’s a small bug, it can lead to funny or frustrating moments — especially for new players who might think the dealership is trying to sell them a broken car. It slightly breaks the immersion and realism of Career Mode.

That said, I really love the Career Mode and appreciate how much depth and attention to detail you're putting into it. Keep up the great work!

Thanks again!
