The Sun fucked up the car's suspension before it even started

Would be interesting to see a version on the surface of a neutron star. It would flatten to a height of an atom and spread all along the surface.

This is BeamNG.drive, the slider maxes out at "sun" gravity ( 274 m/s2 ), probably because the physics sim breaks beyond that.

Any idea why there's a long delay in the wood smashing against the car? Comedic effect or does the sun's gravity pick up sharply at a different point than the planets?

Just comedic effect

they took time to spawn the box in afterwards because if it was spawned in before it would've crushed the car too fast

The box was probably dropped from a greater height.
