    local strElementType = getElementType( source )
    local playerVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( newSyncer )
    if ( strElementType == 'vehicle' ) then
        if ( not playerVehicle ) then return false end
        
        setElementModel( source, getElementModel(playerVehicle) )

	if isElement(source) and getElementType (source) == "vehicle" and isElementWithinColShape(source, myColShape) then
