tenjounokaze Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 An effective method is to use the big International series trucks and just plow thru sidewalks - unlike cars, the trucks keep going thru streetlamps, benches, what have you without slowing down. This racks up the Auto and City damage penalties at the same time, and you're more than likely to rack up Injury penalties in crowded areas as well.

Smooth Pancakes Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I went the fire truck method for this. I wrecked probably 20 fire trucks and easily 100-200 cars (due to plowing into cars left and right with the fire truck), even went and destroyed about 10 Phantom Corsairs, had $2,000 in injuries, and $1,500 in city damage. I was so paranoid that by the time I got done playing the case (I chose the first traffic case since it's a very short, simple one) that I wasn't going to have enough damage, so I went WAAAY overboard. $450,000 in total damage by the end of the case.

FreeFool Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I dont think there is any real quickfire method on this, you have to spend time regardless. I just decided to collect some of the hidden vehicles, i imagine some of the sporty ones are worth quite a bit. If you spend a while collecting and crashing en route to each vehicle location you are at least well on your way to the vehicle cheevo once you get the public meance one.

SpinalSynopsis Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 This is VERY easy to get in the first case. Just drive head on into cars that are moving and you'll almost certainly destroy the car. I did this and racked up $88,000 in vehicle damage alone just playing through the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROGamer83 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 That does not work! you would have to destroy them like 3 to 4 times after they respawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x0BlackRose0x Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks for this helpful tip! Never could reach this amount of damage. So a car is classified as being totally destroyed once it starts burning? Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringmaster411 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Can you also get this cheevo on a DLC case? (seeing as you don't need to ***** them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaptheChaos Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Can you also get this cheevo on a DLC case? (seeing as you don't need to ***** them) That might work, but why worry about the 5 star rating? Once you earn the 5 stars, replaying it over and receiving less wont effect your score, or the achievement for getting 5 stars in every case, the 5 star rating will remain when you view it in the case file. Basically what I’m saying is, your rating can only go up, never down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaptheChaos Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 People are making this out to be way harder than it is. It’s pretty simple really. Just drive around and once you get up to speed drive head on into another car. It will most likely total yours and the one you hit. When your car is totaled or gets to where it slows down just hop into another one. I spent maybe 5 minutes doing this, then went back to working the case. On my way from one place to the next I crashed a few times. By the time I was done I had over 80k in fines/damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizpig64 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I went back and forth between hidden car locations, totalling those cars and others as I went for a few hours while I listened to podcasts. Got to $200,000. Maybe a bit overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecicissignguy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Best way to check your damaged cars is through your stats, just add 48 to ur stats and you should be golden. Just fyi. update: It only counts the cars you drive that you destroy, so just add 24 to your stats if you crash the other car too. Plus, I've noticed that if you do it right you can crash 2 cars for every one car you drive for a total of three cars, you just have to make sure you get to top speed and the other car is moving straight on at you.

Kreegles Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Just tried the second method and I was on my second fire truck when I guess it glitched out when the firetruck was destroyed and my partner was laying on the ground next to it. He would get up so I figured I'd give the truck a tap with another car but I accidentlly ran over my partner and killed him, thus failing the case. XD It was hilarious!
