You may have too many .ar files in your MM2 folder. Remove some of them until you have about two or three left in.

For mods, probably you're talking about add-on vehicles, in the specific. You get a game crash in the vehicle selection menu when you pick one of the new added vehicles. You shouldn't add too much of them, is suggested to don't exceed a number of 15-20.
Anyway, using this patcher for the Heap Overrun error, this limit has been a lot increased, so my final suggestion is to use it.

I know people might be sick of me saying this, but...
In my experience, every time you start the game close it, put cars/mods/tracks in, start
it and repeat, the game builds cache. I believe it is such actions that cause the game to
be more prone to crashing(even with the heap patch).
The way I deal with this, is to re-install the game.
If that doesn't work, delete the game folder.

That's just exaggerated, I've never got to even uninstall and install the game because of that... The game doesn't build any cache; this feature is more common to see in modern games, instead. The game just reads the .ar files that there are in its main folder while its first loading each time you run it, that's it.
The only files that gets always edited by the game everytime you run it are those of the player profile, used also to memorize the name of the last used vehicle, for example. Have you ever found files traces about this cache built by the game? Stop to say that, please...
Then, in this case, looks like this has been the first time for him to install vehicles add-ons in the game, and apparently the problem is that he has just put too much of them... The game crashes at the vehicle selection menu are typical of the problem with too much cars add-on .ar files installed.

There is only one function in the entire game which has "cache" in the name, and it's not related to mod loading.
