Unique trait
Code
Description
All-proof
AP
The vehicles receives no damage from anything. (BP/FP/EP/DP/MP)
Bullet-proof
BP
The vehicle receives no damage from direct hits from bullets.
Fire-proof
FP
The vehicle receives no damage from any flames or fires except when the vehicle is already burning from other forms of damage.
Explosion-proof
EP
The vehicle receives no damage from any explosions inflicted upon the vehicle.
Damage-proof
DP
The vehicle receives no damage from collisions or any form of physical damage. However, this does not protect the vehicle from melee damage if not coupled with Melee-proofing.
Melee-proof
MP
The vehicle does not receive any damage from any melee attacks (i.e. stomping or punching the vehicle). This does not protect the vehicle from collision damage if not coupled with Damage-proofing.
Tip-proof
TP
The vehicle will not go in flames when it's tipped over. This property is available in any 3D-era GTA, but can only be saved in a garage in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories.
Permanent Color
PC
The vehicle's paintjob cannot be changed in a spray shop when it could otherwise.
Heavy
H
The vehicle's mass is greater than it should normally, meaning the vehicle will lose less momentum when colliding into dynamic objects. The downside to this is that collisions will damage the vehicle more than it would normally and it reflects the same amount of your hit.
Unique Handling
UH
The vehicle's handling is altered to let the player be able to cut corners and turn more quickly than normal.
Pop-Proof
PP
The vehicle's tires cannot be popped by any means.
Water-Proof
WP
The vehicle will not sink in the water where it will just blast through, falling into Blue Hell.
Double Damage
DD
The vehicle will take two times more damage than ordinary vehicle.
Rare
R
The model of the vehicle appears only a few times during missions in the game.
Unobtainable
U
Cannot be obtained legitimately. You can only get it through trainers or Cheat Device (GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories). Some cannot be obtained without complete modifications of the game.
Destroying a proofed vehicle
Proofed vehicles are not indestructible. There are many of ways to wreck a BP/FP/EP/DP vehicle, including:
Flipping the car up-side down. (Won't work on tip-proof vehicles).
Sinking the car in the water. (Won't work on water-proof vehicles.)
