The Truth mentions he gets around on a "little astral goat named Herbie." Sad, considering the Bug hasn't been around since GTA2.

Truthy also says Jethro used to work at the VC Boatyards until Tommy bought it. XD

Completed the game a few weeks ago and I tried to save the SWAT armoured tank in the Johnson House garage during the mission (after you break through the wall). When I completed it, it just dissapeared  annoyed 

Is this just a one off vehicle, or can it be found elsewhere in San Andreas? Also, same question applies to the Combine Harvester, as I really wanna drive that again smile

Heres a little observation I found, its on the car called the"Hustler". Its a little 30's style car, found mainly on the Las Venturas strip.
On the right hand side back wheel is two odd looking 'pipes', they are inside the wheel so you  might need to put different rims on to see it better. I put on the "twist" ones and added hydraulics too. Then I bounced the car from side to side and watched the right hand side. The little pipes are clearly visible when doing this.
Hopefully the techy people will be able to solve why its there, left over pollies or something.

Anybody notice the new arrangement of the ice creams on top of the Mr. Whoopee truck? smilewinkgrin They're different from before...

An 'elegy' (at least according to the online Websters) is a poem or song written for the dead. In this case, the Elegy is a R-3X Skyline which the R* people may consider "dead." This is true simply because the first legal Skyline that Nissan released here isn't really a Skyline. angry

One of the paintjobs for the Sultan (Subaru Impreza) is based on the famous 555 design of early Colin McRae fame.

Do we really have to get into a disscussion about TOOL  now?  

ha,  just kidding...

Anyway- yeah,  this game is EASILY, the best game I've ever played.   The choices in this are truly astounding, and I am still finding more new things to do even though I beat the game like,  2 months ago or so...    

A few......"grievences" - and I put that in quotation marks because they really are more than grievences, but I just love this game so much that it's "cool" factor automatically overrides that stuff

Ahem;

For starters I guess would be the sudden barring of CJ from all of San Andreas' gym's.    

This happened about a month ago I guess, when I went into the Las Ventruas 'Below the Belt'  Kickboxing- style gym,  and tried to workout on one of the various machines ( also;  why is there TWO sets of benches?)  
and it informed me that , " You have worked out enough already today!  Come back tommorow."
And this would've been well and good...except I hadn't worked out in aproximately 5 game days.  AND I was morbidly obese....    
So natrually, I tried the other gyms;  The Martial Arts Gym in San Fierro,  The workout station at Santa Maria Beach, The Gym in Ganton, Los Santos, and even in the Mullholland mansion that I OWN!!!
And they all said the same thing.   By this time however,  I had wasted away and was skin and bones and am still that way today because of this odd glitch.
So could someone please help me out, or tell me if they've had this problem too?   Because I really don't want to start my game over because of something like this.  
Also,  it seems that I can't play basketball anymore for some strange reason.  But thats another set of problems....

Second,   As hard as I've tried and as far as I've scoured the awesomimitty that is San An,  I can't seem to find that all elusive 2% piece of gang territory that I need to have all of them under my control.   And I've tried everywhere,  looked everywhere on the game map,  and even sporadically killed hundreds of peoples just to see if any gang wars would start up,  but nothing happened!    
Or am I overlooking something?  Can you ONLY get 98.21% gang territorry under control?

Third;

HOW HARD IS IT TO SHOOT DOWN AIRLINERS???

I must have tried this futile action a hundred and fifty five times, but the heat seeking RPG- though very good- cannot lock on fast enough and is too slow to catch the plane before it dissappears into the great beyond (in the before time, in the long long ago).    
Can you shoot them down?  Or are they like the jets of GTA III and Vice City???  Because I think I've come close.

Fourth;      

And in regard to the VC hidden packages being nothing more than a big decoration on a hispanic store front;    Serves those little bastards right!!!!!
They must have taken a year off of my life trying to find them and still not being able to.  
Although... I feel sorry for the store owners.  Because if they lose that when they are renovating or something,  they'll never find it again....

Fifth;

I know some of you all were talking about one time cars that you never see again-  Where is that big ass cargo plane you had to drive a sanchez into in one of the desert missions?  That's kind of alot of wasted work to make that plane, then just have it for one thing!  Why wouldn't they make that thing a regular playable vehicle?  They made the AT- 400 (or whatever it's called) !!!  
Does anyone know if it can be unlocked?  Or can you put a cheat in to spawn it?   Because it's got to be somewhere in the game's memory- like the ghost town in GTA III.

That's all I can remeber wanting to say for now.

I think the big-ass cargo plane is actually a 'moving platform' kinda thing rather than an actual vehicle. Like an 'airtrain.'

Anyhoo...
A caller on WCTR mentions the Olympics in San Andreas. The 1984 Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles.

As for the SWAT Tank, park it in your garage BEFORE you crash through the wall and blow it up with C4. You'll fail the mission but it'll be parked where you want it. smile

And there's a map containing eight yellow dots plunked down on several spots in San Andreas on the inside of Toreno's cabin and the back room of the Li'l Probe Inn.

One of them's on the military base where the Hydras are, no surprise there.
Another's on the Big Ear, under which the Sandking is parked (just in case you're looking for it).

Finally...
There's a farmhouse in the Panopticon, as well as a trailer park across the street from the Probe Inn where several messed-up Glendales are parked. "messed-up" as in you can't repair the visual damage at a Pay 'n Spray. Hmm...

    Vanishing cars in garages...

    Ok, heres the deal on how to  (mostly) prevent your cars from vanishing.

    In the starting safe house, and most other smaller safe houses.. only put one vehicle in the garage. I know the door opens for two, and you can squeeze two in there, but dont do it. Dont even put a bike or motorcycle in next to your car, just one car.

    In the San Fiero chop-shop garage, the door opens for three or four cars, but dont put any more than two cars in there.. it seems you can get away with one car and two bikes though, and MAYBE two cars and one bike but.. I havent tested that combination yet so.. use caution.

    Paint jobs! DONT get custom paint jobs, the ones with the graphics and such, the game seems to have a very hard time loading them, this can cause cars to vanish and is what causes the 'garage wont open' bug.. the door gets stuck because the game is still trying to load the paint job.. (because cars dont stay in the garage.. it 'erases' them when the door closes and 'spawns' them just before it opens...) sometimes your paint job will go away leaving the car plain white, or the car will vanish all together.. so stick with stock paint jobs and it should be ok!


    Observation in Yay Ka-Boom-Boom mission..

    This has nothing to do with the vanishing cars, Im just editing to save posts.. smile

    In the mission Yay Ka-Boom-Boom, when you get the Tampa thats rigged with a bomb.. if you look closely at the license plates, you might notice that they say 'TIMEBOMB' biggrin 

    Normal Tampa cars dont have this plate, only the one in this mission. laugh

      The safe house in pricky pine (or whatever it is) up in LV if you go on top of the garage you can jump through a window and there will be a clear room thingy that you cant get killed in unless you kill yourself, and the way out is you have to jump back at the window to get out and after you climb up you can get shot

      Is it just me, or is your CJ a spitting image of a crack-addict.  Gut hanging over his belt but otherwise skinny, etc?
