  19. STUFF I'VE ALREADY BEEN TOLD ABOUT
  20. ==============================================================================
  21. This is just a quick list of things that are on my "to do" list. These have
  22. already been brought to my attention, but I haven't had time to flesh out
  23. exactly how they work (I personally check each vehicle and strategy in this
  24. guide), or I haven't gotten that far in the story (I know, I'm taking a long
  25. time). Names of the finder is in parentheses.
  27. -All light blue vehicles from the Epsilon mission strand. (Tons of people)
  28. -Maroon Frogger from that first FIB mission. (me; others confirmed)
  29. -Pale Green Comet from a Trevor stranger mission. (Israel Diaz)
  30. -Clown Van. (me)
  31. -Blank plate Taxi in switch event at Franklin's new house. ()
  32. -Blank plate Romero in a Trevor switch event. (Timcatgt)
  33. -The Skylift in that one mission. (Tons of people)
  34. -Stretch with unique plate in Meltdown. ()
  35. -Unique plate vehicles in the Private Fare taxi missions. (Tons of people)
  36. -Asea from the stranger mission. (Tons of people)
  37. -Any obvious unlockable vehicle (like Space Docker). (Tons of people)
  38. -Black unique plate Tornado in The Third Way. (Coen91; Arthur Heng to keep)
  39. -Possible special color Felon in Pitchers' random mission. (fnxrak)
  40. -"Stuck doors" Phoenix from a random event. (Arthur Heng)
  41. -Merryweather Mesas in The Wrap Up. (Tons of people)
  42. -Unique plate Vacca in The Wrap Up. (Arthur Heng; fnxrak for unique)
  44. Also, the "Mariachi" Tornado in the border patrol stranger mission is NOT
  45. special.
  50. ==============================================================================
  51. ABOUT
  52. ==============================================================================
  53. This guide is to assist those players who enjoy collecting rare or unique
  54. vehicles. This guide lists all known vehicles with some special property that
  55. can only be obtained during missions. Although this game does have a mission
  56. replay feature (similar to The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC for GTAIV), it creates a
  57. discrete instance of a mission, as opposed to a world continuous with the main
  58. game world, and as such, vehicles cannot be retrieved via this method, as no
  59. data is saved after completing a mission replay (except for mission objective
  60. completion).
  62. I wrote this guide with the Xbox 360 version, not the PS3 version. I don't
  63. know of any differences between the different versions, at least that affect
  64. this guide, however I will include any information on known version
  65. differences as best I can. If you notice a difference, such as a particular
  66. strategy or glitch not working, contact me and let me know (be sure to mention
  67. which version you're playing).
  69. CAUTION! This guide may inadvertently contain spoilers of story missions!
  70. While this guide's scope does not really involve spoiling anything, due to
  71. what is required of it, it does possess a list of mission names at the very
  72. minimum, which may have the potential to spoil parts of the game.

  193. ==============================================================================
  194. *1* GLOSSARY OF TERMS
  195. ==============================================================================
  196. This is a glossary of all the special terms used in this guide.
  198. ------------------------------------------------------------
  199. VEHICLE NAMES:
  200. Make - The company that produced a vehicle. This is the first name listed in
  201. a vehicle's full name when inside of a vehicle. Some examples are Declasse,
  202. Karin, and Albany. Multiple vehicles can have the same make listed.
  204. Model - This is the traditional GTA vehicle name, and is located after the
  205. make, and followed by a comma and the class. This is all that was shown on
  206. the screen when getting in vehicles in previous GTA games, and most models
  207. should be easily recognizable for veteran GTA players.
  209. Class - This is the class of the vehicle, such as sports, sedans, or service.
  210. This is simply a reference to what type of vehicle it is, and may indicate
  211. performance (e.g., a sports car will be expected to perform better than a
  212. sedan, while being less resistant to damage). The class is listed last in a
  213. vehicle's full name, following a comma after the model.
  215. ------------------------------------------------------------
  217. [F] - This is used to denote a mission that Franklin participates in.
  218. [M] - This is used to denote a mission that Michael participates in.
  219. [T] - This is used to denote a mission that Trevor participates in.
  220. Any combination of the three letters may appear in brackets, describing all
  221. characters that participates in a given mission (e.g., [MT] means that both
  222. Michael and Trevor are part of the mission). Which characters participate in
  223. a mission is based on which character have their missions completed stat
  224. increased by 1 after completion (e.g., Trevor isn't listed in the prologue,
  225. because only Michael gets credit for that mission). [MFT] indicates that all
  226. three characters participate, although in some select circumstances, only one
  227. of the three actually plays the mission (but all 3 still get credit for it).
  229. ------------------------------------------------------------
  231. Tags: These tags may be appended to the list of attributes of a vehicle, such
  232. as mission, difficulty, and required resources. These denote certain specifics
  233. of the vehicle, and will be preceeded by two asterisks (**).
  235. **Complete mission: This vehicle requires completion of the mission to obtain,
  236. and thus only one copy can be acquired normally.
  238. **Post-mission: This vehicle exists only after the mission ends. While it is
  239. technically not part of the mission, it is usually attached to a switch event
  240. that specifically happens only immediately following the mission. Thus, it
  241. is considered as part of the mission for the purposes of this guide.
  243. **No interior garage: This vehicle can't be stored in an interior garage,
  244. except by exploiting the trick in section 3.3.
  246. **Persistent vehicle: A persistent vehicle is a vehicle that will always
  247. respawn completely intact, including any modifications added to it. The
  248. vehicles of the characters, such as Franklin's Buffalo and Michael's
  249. Tailgater are persistent vehicles.
  251. **LSC trick: This vehicle can be obtained from the mission by using the LSC
  252. trick (outlined in section 3.4). Modify it during the mission at a LSC garage
  253. and then finish the mission. It will be parked nearby. For some vehicles,
  254. this is the only way to obtain them. For others, its simply another (possibly
  255. easier) way.
  257. ------------------------------------------------------------
  259. PL - Pearlescent color. This is simply an abbreviation for pearlescent used in
  260. vehicle names, to conserve space and reduce length.
  262. RGO - Regular garage only. These vehicles either have some property that will
  263. disappear if saved in an interior garage, or cannot be stored in an interior
  264. garage. They must be stored inside one of a character's safehouse garages.
  265. The specifics of the requirement will be outlined in each vehicle's profile.
  267. UJ - Unjackable. Vehicles with this property cannot be stolen or driven by
  268. the player, even though there's no reason the character couldn't break the
  269. window and get in. It's even more ridiculous when they refuse to get on a
  270. motorcycle. Regardless, you're simply not going to be driving a UJ vehicle.
  272. UW - Unequipped wheels. These vehicles do not have any wheels shown as
  273. equipped when modding them, despite the fact they obviously do have wheels.
  274. The wheels category in the LSC garage will default to Sport, although the
  275. vehicle actually has the default wheels of its class (e.g., Canis Mesa, an
  276. off-road vehicle, will have the default Off-Road wheels, although they will
  277. not be shown as equipped).
  279. Beater - An old, dilapidated vehicle. Rusty, damaged/broken windows and other
  280. parts, engine problems. Not something you'd entrust your safety to in a
  281. police chase or hectic situation.
  283. Blank plate - A license plate that is blank, with nothing on it. These seem to
  284. be found in vehicles that involve switching to another character after a
  285. mission they take part in, or at point in the game. This will be denoted in
  286. vehicle titles by the tag [Blank] at the start of the name.
  288. Branded - A branded vehicle contains decals, markings, or other indications of
  289. belonging to a particular business or brand. Unbranded means the opposite: a
  290. lack of branding, usually on a vehicle that normally is branded.
  292. Classic - Classic colors are just the color in question with a glossy finish.
  293. The only difference between classic and metallic is that the latter has a
  294. pearlescent finish to it.
  296. Description - A description of unique color/feature vehicles and WHY they are
  297. unique. Vehicles with a unique color will have a description of the colors
  298. available that most closely resemble their actual colors.
  300. Difficulty - A general summary of the relative difficulty, out of 5 stars. The
  301. difficulty level assigned to a vehicle will be based on the easiest strategy
  302. that requires the least of or no mission failures, deaths, arrests, and
  303. cheats. The existence of strategies that utilize those things are usually
  304. much easier than ones without (i.e., the difficulty of obtaining a vehicle
  305. may be in getting it without failing a mission, possibly putting it at 3
  306. stars, while just accepting the mission failure would make obtaining it a
  307. 1-star difficulty).
  308. ------------------------------
  309. * Car is practically (or literally) given to player during and/or
  310. after mission, or requires very little effort with no skill or luck.
  311. ------------------------------
  312. ** Car is readily available, but requires a little luck or a minimum of
  313. effort to successfully obtain.
  314. ------------------------------
  315. *** Car requires some determination and manipulation of the game to
  316. acquire. Possibly a little luck.
  317. ------------------------------
  318. **** Car is difficult to obtain, some luck may factor in, and requires a
  319. keen knowledge of and skill at the game.
  320. ------------------------------
  321. ***** Car is extremely difficult to obtain; very luck-based, requires
  322. difficult maneuvers to succeed, such as pushing to a parking spot
  323. despite a wanted level.
  324. ------------------------------
  325. ********** There's no god here today. Just this vehicle.
  326. ------------------------------
  328. Discovered by - This is not necessarily the first person to discover a
  329. vehicle, but rather the first person to report it to me. I will add the
  330. original discoverer if I'm able to determine who originally found it,
  331. however.
  333. Double-drive - Double-driving is used in some vehicle strategies. It involves
  334. driving two vehicles at once back to your safehouse. One is the special
  335. vehicle you're trying to obtain, the other is a vehicle some important person
  336. from the mission is in, and if you go too far away, you will fail.
  338. You essentially drive one car partway towards the destination, then get out
  339. and drive the other a bit farther, and repeat ad nauseum. Slow, but
  340. guaranteed to work, as long as you don't put too much distance between them.
  341. You don't risk failing the mission, but rather the vehicle you're trying for
  342. may vanish.
  344. Equipped - This term denotes what features a vehicle is shown as having in the
  345. customization garages. Normally, a vehicle will show its current features,
  346. including colors, with an icon in place of the price on the list of options.
  347. However, many special vehicles do not show any color on the list as the
  348. current color, due to using a unique color not normally available.
  350. Formulated by - This is who informed me of the strategy to obtain the vehicle.
  351. Vehicles that were pointed out to be, but where I was given no strategy to
  352. obtain it often lead to me developing the strategy, although most will have
  353. the same entry for Discovered and Formulated by.
  355. Jack - To jack a vehicle means to steal it. This is probably not a necessary
  356. entry, but I figured I'd add it just in case.
  358. LSC garage - Los Santos Customs garage. This is the vehicle modification
  359. garage, where you... modify vehicles.
  361. Metallic - Metallic paint is the same as the classic color, but has a
  362. pearlescent layer on top of it that adds a "luster" to it. When metallic
  363. paint is equipped on a vehicle, it will unlock the option to change the
  364. pearlescent color. Each metallic color has a pearlescent shade to it.
  366. Modded - This simply refers to a vehicle that has modifications already
  367. installed. This can make vehicles from missions unique since it may offer
  368. modifications for a vehicle before they are unlocked to be purchased
  369. normally. A list of the non-stock modifications the car is equipped with
  370. will be provided.
  372. Most Recent Vehicle - This is a self-descriptive term. It refers to the last
  373. vehicle a character was inside. Note that it only considers vehicles a
  374. character was actually inside of and driving, not as a passenger. The vehicle
  375. "driven" does not have to have been functional, so even stalled and damaged
  376. vehicles will work, so long as the game allows a character to get inside.
  378. Palette - The selection of colors a vehicle can be found in. Usually randomly
  379. selected when a vehicle is created. Each vehicle in the game seems to have a
  380. discrete catalog of colors in their palette, rather than randomly choosing
  381. from the entire potential list of colors available during customization.
  383. Pearlescent - Pearlescent paint is a "luster" that is applied on top of a
  384. metallic paintjob. Only metallic colors have a pearlescent layer, and all
  385. metallics will have the layer. Pearlescent paint is what makes metallic
  386. colors different from their classic counterparts. Each metallic color has a
  387. default pearlescent that accompanies it when purchased, but it will also
  388. unlock the option to choose a different pearlescent. Pearlescent is only an
  389. option for the primary color on a vehicle, and will be applied to the
  390. secondary color as well (if one is present).
  392. Persistent vehicle - These vehicles are character's personal vehicles in the
  393. game. Persistent vehicles are so named because they will retain upgrades and
  394. changes made to them even if you end up losing it somehow. They will also
  395. always spawn in certain locations (such as outside a character's safehouses).
  396. These vehicles cannot be stored in interior garages, despite most being able
  397. to fit.
  399. Plate - An easier way of saying license plate. Usually only used in the
  400. context of unique license plates. Normal "random" license plates follow the
  401. format of 2:3:3 letters, numbers, letters. Several unique plates follow this
  402. format, and are only classified as unique because it always has the same
  403. combination, rather than a random one.
  405. Random - Denotes a property that is randomized on a vehicle, such as color.
  407. Rare - This is used in the guide to denote an "unlockable" vehicle.
  409. Refresh - When a vehicle is refreshed, it refers to the ability of a garage to
  410. "reset" the vehicle, repairing all damage, removing extraneous properties
  411. (such as some of those found in the UJ vehicles section), and removing the UJ
  412. property from a vehicle. When a vehicle is in a garage, refreshing happens
  413. if the game is saved and loaded, or if the player travels far enough away
  414. from the garage before returning. Certain other things can trigger a refresh,
  415. as well.
  417. Set plate - A license plate that follows the normal randomly-generated format,
  418. but is always set to the same thing. Not quite a truly unique plate, since in
  419. theory it could be randomly generated, but still worthy of note.
  421. Special (color) - A special color is one that does not exist in the color
  422. menu during customization, which means the vehicle in question cannot be
  423. replicated by customizing. A special colored vehicle's description will try
  424. to explain which colors are the closest approximation of the actual color,
  425. and in what way the special color is unique.
  427. Most "Special" colored vehicles have a color that is extremel close to an
  428. existing color or colors, though, and barely look different. There are few
  429. monumentally different "special" colors available.
  431. Switch event - These are the various situations a character will appear in
  432. when switching to them, usually after a mission, a new day, an autosave, or
  433. anything else that would recalculate their position. Most are just mundane
  434. things, like exiting a store or waking up, severely hung over, on a rooftop
  435. with no ladder down. However, some switch events are one-time special
  436. situations that may contain a special vehicle.
  438. Unique - This vehicle is unique and found in story missions only, or other
  439. limited-time availability missions, and thus can be missed altogether.
  441. Unique plate - A vehicle with a license plate that does not follow the format
  442. for randomly-generated plates. This will be denoted in vehicle titles by the
  443. tag [Unique] at the start of the name.
  445. Unlockable - This term in my guide denotes a vehicle that is only infinitely
  446. available either through story missions and/or by unlocking it at some point
  447. through the story, whether by completing a mission, finishing a side mission,
  448. or even a vehicle that is only available during a side mission, but is
  449. repeatedly available by doing the mission over and over at your leisure.
  451. Unobtainable - A vehicle that, for whatever reason, cannot be obtained and/or
  452. stored with its properties. In GTAV, most UJ vehicles are unobtainable due to
  453. being unable to get them to a garage (and in some cases, unable to store them
  454. in an interior garage).
  459. ==============================================================================
  460. *2* SAFEHOUSES AND GARAGES
  461. ==============================================================================
  462. These are places to store your vehicles. There are two types of garages:
  463. small, single-car garages, like in classic GTA games, and large, indoor
  464. garages that can store multiple vehicles and are an interior.
  466. NOTE: Throughout the storyline, sometimes certain safehouses become
  467. unavailable temporarily or permanently. With the exception of Michael's
  468. house, any safehouse that is lost WILL DELETE ALL VEHICLES CONTAINED WITHIN
  469. THE GARAGE. Move vehicles out of the garage before losing the safehouse to
  470. keep vehicles. The impound lot can provide a quick, temporary storage method
  471. for one or both vehicles in these garages, so long as you're careful to get
  472. them out ASAP and not replace them with other vehicles.
  474. SAFEHOUSE GARAGES:
  475. -Can hold 1-2 vehicles each, depending on size
  476. -Hard limit is 2 vehicles (beyond this, vehicles start disappearing)
  477. -Part of the game world
  478. -Found at each character's safehouse
  480. INTERIOR GARAGES:
  481. -Can hold 4 vehicles
  482. -Separate interior, with vehicles automatically aligned
  483. -Unique for each character
  484. -Will not hold certain vehicles (primarily vehicles too large to fit in the
  485. characters' normal-sized safehouse garages). A glitch mentioned in section
  486. 3.3 can be used to put any vehicle inside, though.
  487. -Allows access to DLC vehicles (and contains an infinite supply of them)
  489. All garages are unique for the character listed, meaning other characters
  490. cannot access them. Additionally, garages will only repair vehicles if enough
  491. time has passed, or if the game is saved and then loaded. Repairs are not
  492. instant, as in previous GTA games.
  494. Unlike other open-world games, all garages only store one copy of vehicles.
  495. If you take a vehicle out of the garage and lose it, it will be gone forever.
  496. Make sure to always return your vehicles to the garage after use. However,
  497. the vehicles can often be found at the impound lot is lost during a mission or
  498. abandoned on the street. The impound only stores 2 vehicles, though; any
  499. previous ones are lost forever. Getting a car out of impound costs $250.
  501. Capacity listed for safehouse garages is relative, with the actual capacity
  502. depending on the vehicles that are stored. If all entrances to a vehicle are
  503. blocked, the vehicle cannot be entered. If all entrances to all vehicles are
  504. blocked, the garage is effectively clogged, and can only be cleared by blowing
  505. up some or all of the vehicles inside.
  508. ------------------------------------------------
  509. FRANKLIN'S GARAGES:
  510. ------------------------------------------------
  511. INTERIOR: Grove Street Garage, Grove St., Davis
  513. ----------
  515. SAFEHOUSE 1: Franklin's House, Forum Dr., Strawberry
  516. ==Available after Franklin and Lamar
  517. ==LOST AFTER HOTEL ASSASSINATION
  518. Relative capacity: 1 car + 1 motorcycle
  520. A medium-sized garage that isn't deep. It can only fit one car, and if it's
  521. on the smaller end, a motorcycle can also fit beside it. Two motorcycles would
  522. fit easily.
  524. NOTE: Remove any vehicles stored within the garage before completing the
  525. mission "Hotel Assassination" for Lester. Anything in the garage after the
  526. mission will be lost forever!
  528. ----------
  530. SAFEHOUSE 2: Investment Property, Whispymound Dr., Vinewood Hills
  531. ==Available after Hotel Assassination
  532. Relative capacity: 2 medium cars
  534. A wider garage, similar to Michael's, but with a much lower clearance. Two
  535. cars can fit in easily, but there isn't much depth.
  539. ------------------------------------------------
  540. MICHAEL'S GARAGES:
  541. ------------------------------------------------
  542. INTERIOR: Vinewood Garage, Spanish Ave., West Vinewood
  544. ----------
  546. SAFEHOUSE 1: Michael's House, West Eclipse Blvd., Rockford Hills
  547. ==Available after Complications
  548. ==Temporarily lost after Caida Libre
  549. ==Regained after Monkey Business
  550. Relative capacity: 2 cars (1 large, 1 small)
  552. This is a large garage with a lot of space. It can even fit vehicles like the
  553. Towtruck. Take advantage of this one to store some of the bigger vehicles.
  555. NOTE: Although Michael temporarily loses access to his safehouse during the
  556. storyline, the vehicles stored in the garage are safe and will be available
  557. again after regaining access following Monkey Business.
  559. ----------
  561. SAFEHOUSE 2: Trevor's Trailer, Marina Ave., Sandy Shores
  562. ==Available after Caida Libre
  563. ==Lost after Monkey Business
  564. Relative capacity: 1 large car or 2 motorcycles
  566. The garage is a standard garage, about able to fit a large van. It is deep,
  567. so adding a motorcycle in behind another vehicle may be possible.
  569. NOTE: After finishing Caida Libre, Michael gains access to Trevor's trailer
  570. as a safehouse. He also gains access to the garage, however he and Trevor will
  571. share the garage space. They don't each get to store two vehicles.
  575. ------------------------------------------------
  576. TREVOR'S GARAGES:
  577. ------------------------------------------------
  578. INTERIOR: Pillbox Hill Garage, Adam's Apple Blvd., Pillbox Hill
  580. ----------
  582. SAFEHOUSE 1: Trevor's Trailer, Marina Ave., Sandy Shores
  583. ==Available after Mr. Philips
  584. Relative capacity: 1 large car or 2 motorcycles
  586. The garage is a standard garage, about able to fit a large van. It is deep,
  587. so adding a motorcycle in behind another vehicle may be possible.
  589. ----------
  591. SAFEHOUSE 2: Floyd's House, Magellan Ave., La Puerta
  592. ==Available after Friends Reunited
  593. ==LOST AFTER CAIDA LIBRE
  594. Relative capacity: 2 large cars (or even trucks)
  596. Regarding Floyd's "garage," it is actually a parking spot, similar to GTAIV.
  597. Vehicles parked in the area surrounding the blue tarp underneath the overhang
  598. near Floyd's apartment will be stored, despite not being an actual garage. As
  599. with other safehouse storage, up to two vehicles can be stored. Even large
  600. vehicles, such as the tractor cab JoBuilt Phantom, can be fit by creatively
  601. maneuvering as much of the vehicle as possible close to the blue tarp, which
  602. seems to be the focal point of the parking spot.
  604. All characters have access to the parking spot, as well, and can both see
  605. vehicles parked there as well as park vehicles there. This makes trading
  606. vehicles between characters very easy, at least for the duration the game
  607. grants access to this safehouse.
  608. (Thanks to Arthur Heng for helping me figure out how this space works!)
  610. NOTE: After completing Caida Libre, this safehouse and its garage is lost
  611. for the remainder of the game. Any vehicles stored in the parking spot will be
  612. lost forever at this point.
  614. ----------
  616. SAFEHOUSE 3: Vanilla Unicorn, Elgin Ave., Strawberry
  617. ==Available after Hang Ten
  618. Relative capacity: 2 large cars (or even trucks)
  620. The Vanilla Unicorn has a parking zone similar to Floyd's house. The specific
  621. parking zone is along the east side of the building, encompassing the several
  622. parking spots with standards against the wall. Although only two vehicles
  623. will be saved at a time, it can fit even large vehicles.
  625. Also similar to Floyd's house is that Michael and Franklin can see and use
  626. any vehicles parked in the spot. However, unlike Floyd's house, only vehicles
  627. parked by Trevor will be saved, reducing the utility the spot provides.
  632. ==============================================================================
  633. *3* OTHER INFORMATION AND TECHNIQUES FOR ACQUIRING VEHICLES
  634. ==============================================================================
  635. This section explains various things that won't fit elsewhere in the guide.
  638. -----------------------------------------------
  639. 3.1 - Major changes from GTAIV
  640. -----------------------------------------------
  641. Several things have changed with regards to vehicle hunting between GTAIV and
  642. GTAV. This is a quick list.
  644. -Failing missions are no longer recorded as a statistic, leaving no "proof" of
  645. failing a mission beyond owning a vehicle that requires it.
  647. -Garages return from classic GTA, and replace parking spots as a means of
  648. vehicle storage. There are also large interior garages that can save 4
  649. vehicles very reliably, but will sometimes not allow certain vehicles (such as
  650. the characters' personal vehicles) to enter. A glitch detailed in section 3.3
  651. describes how to put any vehicle into the interior garages.
  653. -Most UJ vehicles are unobtainable, but some can be pushed or towed into a
  654. character's safehouse garage to obtain them.
  656. -Each character's garages are separate, however it is possible to
  657. "transfer" a vehicle from one character to another by maneuvering two
  658. characters close to each other, then having one get out of the vehicle and
  659. switching to the other, and taking the vehicle. Otherwise, each character's
  660. special vehicle selection is limited to what is found in their missions.
  662. -"Lustered" vehicles are now pearlescents. Pearlescent is a secondary color
  663. that is applied on top of any metallic color (and only metallics). In fact,
  664. pearlescent is the only difference between a metallic color, and its classic
  665. counterpart. The menu option to respray a vehicle as pearlescent is only
  666. available if a metallic paintjob is applied as the primary color. Due to how
  667. the game works with what color is "equipped" as the primary color, it is
  668. possible to recreate any combination of normal and pearlescent colors and have
  669. the result be identical to a seemingly-unique pearlescent vehicle found in a
  670. mission.
  673. -----------------------------------------------
  674. 3.2 - Character-switch vehicle retrieval
  675. -----------------------------------------------
  676. Often you will encounter a vehicle that cannot be parked in a safehouse for
  677. some reason, even though you are able to get inside. However, it may be
  678. possible to obtain it so long as you are able to switch to a different
  679. character. Get inside, then switch to someone else. Waste some time, then
  680. switch back to the previous character. If successful, they will either be
  681. driving the vehicle in question, or it will be parked nearby. This can be used
  682. to restart vehicles that have stalled, or become stuck in an irrevocable
  683. position (such as wedged in between obstacles).
  685. A character not currently in use will return to their default vehicle at
  686. midnight of a new day, however, so make sure not to spend too much time on
  687. someone else.
  690. -----------------------------------------------
  691. 3.3 - Storing any vehicle inside interior garages!
  692. -----------------------------------------------
  693. Courtesy of StuntmanSnake!
  695. This is surprisingly simple. To store vehicles in interior garages that
  696. normally can't be stored there, drive close to the garage door and park so
  697. the driver's side door of the vehicle is as close to the garage as possible.
  698. Then, get out, and when the prompt to enter the garage on foot comes up, get
  699. back inside. As soon as the character finishes getting inside, press the
  700. button to enter the garage.
  702. If done correctly, the vehicle will be stored inside the garage! This does not
  703. seem to have any consequences, even for storing larger vehicles, and can make
  704. safely storing vehicles much easier. If the button is pressed too early, the
  705. character will enter his garage without the vehicle. Exiting without choosing
  706. a vehicle will allow another chance, as the vehicle will still be sittng
  707. outside, either next to the garage door, or parked in a nearby parking space.
  709. You can also obtain multiple copies of the character's special vehicles (the
  710. persistent ones) with this trick. If a persistent vehicle is stored in an
  711. interior garage using this method, it becomes "disconnected" from the
  712. persistent version of the vehicle. It will become like a normal car, with
  713. upgrades isolated to just that specific copy of the vehicle. It can also be
  714. stored in interior garages normally afterwards. The persistent vehicle will
  715. also still spawn normally at the character's safehouse, so you'll just have
  716. an additional copy of it.
  718. Note that this glitch does not allow you to store a vehicle during a mission,
  719. or to exceed the four-vehicle capacity of the garage. Even the largest
  720. vehicles, such as tractor cabs and buses, will fit without issue.
  723. -----------------------------------------------
  724. 3.4 - Saving certain vehicles from missions (LSC trick)
  725. -----------------------------------------------
  726. Courtesy of fnxrak (discovery) Arthur Heng (exploiting it)!
  728. This is a simple trick that can allow you to obtain various vehicles featured
  729. in missions. It only applies to vehicles that can actually be driven during
  730. the mission, though.
  732. Once inside the vehicle of choice, go to an LSC garage. Enter and modify the
  733. vehicle in some way. This will set it as the "active" vehicle for that
  734. character, and it will appear parked nearby after the mission ends, even if
  735. its a mission-important vehicle. However, sometimes the vehicle in question
  736. will be impounded instead; in that case, just go to the impound lot and pay to
  737. get it out of impound. Don't forget about it!
  739. Some missions result in a message stating that LSC is closed. This trick
  740. cannot be used in such missions, for obvious reasons.
  743. -----------------------------------------------
  744. 3.5 - Duplicating vehicles
  745. -----------------------------------------------
  746. Courtesy of StuntmanSnake!
  748. You just do the thing where one vehicle becomes two! You know, mitosis.
  750. (it actually involves getting in a vehicle in a safehouse garage, then getting
  751. out and switching characters just as their feet both hit the ground. I'll
  752. make a more detailed description once I test it more.)
  755. -----------------------------------------------
  756. 3.6 - Snowy vehicles
  757. -----------------------------------------------
  758. This section was created to save multiple vehicle entries that are all
  759. unobtainable and similar.
  761. Vehicles in North Yankton are special "snowy" versions, covered in - you
  762. guessed it - snow! No doubt a result of the more northern climate of North
  763. Yankton compared to the normally balmy San Andreas weather, these cars are
  764. actually special versions of their respective vehicles. However, as an
  765. inevitable result of their existence only in North Yankton, they are all
  766. unobtainable.
  768. However, North Yankton is only visited in two missions: Prologue, and Bury the
  769. Hatchet, and only the latter allows any real minimum of exploration. In
  770. addition, Bury the Hatchet only shows these vehicles if Michael is the one to
  771. start the mission; starting as Trevor bypasses the whole driving scene.
  773. Aside from having a special snowy texture, these vehicles also have "Yankton"
  774. state license plates, as opposed to the San Andreas state plates of Los Santos
  775. and Blaine County.
  778. Vehicles seen during "Prologue":
  779. -Police Roadcruiser, Emergency (North Yankton state police livery)
  780. -Police Rancher (North Yankton state police livery)
  781. -Brute Stockade, Commercial ("Bobcat" livery)
  782. -Albany Emperor, Sedans
  783. -Declasse Rancher XL, Off-Road
  784. -Stanley Fieldmaster, Utility
  787. Vehicles seen during "Bury the Hatchet":
  788. -Declasse Asea, Sedans (also a unique vehicle in and of itself)
  789. -Vapid Sadler, Utility
  790. -Albany Emperor, Sedans
  791. -Declasse Rancher XL, Off-Road
  792. -Canis Mesa, SUVs
  793. -Declasse Burrito, Vans
  796. NOTE: I fully expect someone to discover some esoteric glitch that allows one
  797. (or more) of these vehicles to be brought back to Los Santos somehow. This
  798. will probably happen 3-4 years after the game's release. There, my prediction
  799. is here for all the world to see. Bow before your prophet!
  804. ==============================================================================
  805. *4* UNIQUE VEHICLES
  806. ==============================================================================
  807. These vehicles only appear during story missions, and once the game is
  808. completed, cannot be acquired without cheating. Unique vehicles are denoted by
  809. having a unique vehicle name not found elsewhere. Unique versions of existing
  810. vehicles are found under specially colored/featured vehicles.
  813. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  814. 4.1 - Unobtainable Cargo Plane, Planes (1st of 2)
  815. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  816. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  817. Mission: Minor Turbulence [T] (Michael)
  818. Discovered by: Many people
  820. ----------------------------------------
  821. Description: A massive cargo transport aircraft, this is a huge vehicle and
  822. handles like one. During the section of the mission with the military escort,
  823. the LAZERs practically can fly circles around this. It's honestly a mystery as
  824. to why (and how) Trevor thought this could possibly fit on his tiny airstrip
  825. in Grapeseed.
  827. ----------------------------------------
  828. Unobtainable: The plane is part of the mission and obviously vanishes if the
  829. mission is failed. Completing the mission sees it plummet into the Alamo Sea.
  830. Even if it could somehow be taken to a hangar, there's no chance it could
  831. possibly fit inside.
  832. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  836. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  837. 4.2 - "Merryweather" Canis Mesa, Off-Road
  838. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  839. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  840. Mission: Minor Turbulence [T] (Michael)
  841. Difficulty: *****
  842. Required: Pushing vehicle, patience, and luck
  843. Discovered by: Many people
  844. **Complete mission
  846. ----------------------------------------
  847. Description: The Merryweather Off-Road Canis Mesa is heavily-modified with
  848. large off-road tires. Used exclusively by the "security consulting" company,
  849. this Mesa is quite unique and even classified differently than the normal
  850. Mesa, which is an SUV and not Off-Road vehicle.
  852. ----------------------------------------
  853. STRATEGY: After the air force critically damages the Cargo Plane, Trevor will
  854. bail out, and has the option to drive this out of the cargo bay instead. Once
  855. he does, he'll have to bail or else the Mesa will explode when it hits the
  856. ground and kill him. But since this will usually land close to Trevor's Sandy
  857. Shores safehouse, it is possible to parachute down safely and get a vehicle to
  858. push this to the garage at that safehouse. With a lot of luck and a vehicle to
  859. prop open the garage door, it can be pushed inside and will, hopefully, be
  860. resurrected by the garage. This can take a lot of luck, though, and the garage
  861. is prone to causing the vehicle to just vanish instead of reviving it. Unless
  862. you REALLY want this one, just get one from a later mission.
  864. <<Formulated by: Lancet Jades>>
  865. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  869. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  870. 4.3 - Unobtainable "Merryweather" Canis Mesa, Off-Road
  871. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  872. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  873. Mission: Derailed [MT] (Trevor)
  874. Discovered by: Lancet Jades
  876. ----------------------------------------
  877. Description: A unique version of the Canis Mesa, classified as Off-Road instead
  878. of an SUV, and with numerous unique body modifications. This one is black in
  879. color.
  881. ----------------------------------------
  882. Unobtainable: Trevor and Michael encounter this while escaping the wreckage
  883. in the Dinghy. As the controls are locked to the boat at this time, it is
  884. impossible to get out and obtain it, and it would likely vanish even after the
  885. mission ends.
  886. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  890. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  891. 4.4 - Unobtainable Declasse Asea, Sedans (snowy)
  892. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  893. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  894. Mission: Bury the Hatchet [MT] (Michael)
  895. Discovered by: Many people
  896. Unique license plate: [LB080984]
  898. ----------------------------------------
  899. Description: This is a somewhat compact little sedan that is as rare as it
  900. is... mediocre. Nothing particularly stands out, yet it is only found in two
  901. places, one of which is this unobtainable snowy version. Note that to see this
  902. vehicle, YOU MUST START THE MISSION AS MICHAEL. Starting as Trevor bypasses
  903. the while driving scene, and this this vehicle won't be seen (along with the
  904. other snowy vehicles). It also has a unique license plate, for what little
  905. that matters next to the mountain of other unique things.
  907. ----------------------------------------
  908. Unobtainable: Michael uses this car during the North Yankton segment of the
  909. mission. As it is in North Yankton, there is no way to retrieve it for return
  910. to San Andreas (barring some esoteric glitch that someone will no doubt find
  911. a few years after release).
  912. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  916. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  917. 4.s1 - Unobtainable Cargo Plane, Planes (2nd of 2)
  918. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  919. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  920. Stranger (Franklin): Liquidity Risk (Dom)
  921. Discovered by: Many people
  923. ----------------------------------------
  924. Description: A massive cargo transport aircraft, this is a huge vehicle and
  925. handles like one. Not that you get to fly it in this mission, but you should
  926. remember from Minor Turbulence. I doubt many advances in aviation have been
  927. made in the couple of in-game weeks since then.
  929. ----------------------------------------
  930. Unobtainable: The plane is part of the mission and is already taking off on
  931. the runway, leaving no chance to obtain it. And unlike Trevor in Minor
  932. Turbulence, you don't even have the luxury of commandeering it. You just
  933. drive a Blazer out the back like a straight busta.
  934. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  939. ==============================================================================
  940. *5* UNIQUE/BLANK LICENSE PLATE VEHICLES
  941. ==============================================================================
  942. These vehicles all have a unique or blank license plate, making them special
  943. (and very visibly so). They may or may not also have a special color or
  944. feature that is similarly unique, and if so, it will be noted as well. These
  945. vehicles are special because they cannot be found outside of the mission(s)
  946. where they are present.
  948. Descriptions will be provided, listing exactly why and how the vehicle is
  949. special. Colors on vehicles that cannot be customized are approximated.
  952. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  953. 5.1 - [Blank] UW Black Canis Mesa (1st of 3)
  954. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  955. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  956. Mission: Complications [MF] (Simeon)
  957. Difficulty: *
  958. Required: Nothing
  959. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  960. **Post-mission
  962. ----------------------------------------
  963. Description: A metallic black Canis Mesa with a random pearlescent color and
  964. an uncovered back. The license plate is blank, and it doesn't show any wheels
  965. as equipped, even though it has Off-Road default wheels.
  967. ----------------------------------------
  968. STRATEGY: This can be found by switching to Franklin immediately after
  969. completing the mission. Once in control of him, head north, and this will be
  970. parked alongside the road. Note that this vehicle is spawned by the switch
  971. event with Franklin talking to Lamar on the phone, and if Michael gets too
  972. close to the location of the event, it will prevent the event from happening.
  973. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  977. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  978. 5.2 - [Blank] Taxi (1st of 2)
  979. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  980. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  981. Mission: Father/Son [MF] (Michael)
  982. Difficulty: *
  983. Required: Nothing
  984. Discovered by: StuntmanSnake / Lancet Jades (easier strategy)
  985. **Post-mission
  987. ----------------------------------------
  988. Description: A plain, ordinary taxi that just happens to have a blank license
  989. plate. The taxi does not seem to have a Taxi light on the roof.
  991. ----------------------------------------
  992. STRATEGY: The only way to obtain this is to switch to Michael shortly after
  993. finishing the mission. He will be getting out of the taxi. Quickly get inside
  994. and take it to a garage. Alternatively, loading an autosave from immediately
  995. after the mission seems to generate a random Michael switch event, with this
  996. Taxi as his active vehicle, making it that much easier to obtain.
  997. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1001. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1002. 5.3 - [Unique] Red Nagasaki Blazer

  1008. Discovered by: Skellington87
  1009. Unique license plate: [TPI1000]
  1011. ----------------------------------------
  1012. Description: Trevor's red quadbike with a unique license plate. The plate hints
  1013. that this is a vehicle in service to Trevor Philips Industries.
  1015. ----------------------------------------
  1016. STRATEGY: Keeping this bike is as simple as getting on at the start of the
  1017. mission and driving to the airfield southwest of the start location. This will
  1018. fail the mission. Choose to exit, and Trevor will still be riding this quad
  1019. after the mission ends.

  1033. **No interior garage
  1035. ----------------------------------------
  1036. Description: A large Phantom tractor cab with a blank plate. Nothing very
  1037. remarkable, plate aside.
  1039. ----------------------------------------
  1040. STRATEGY: After the mission ends, you'll be controlling Michael. Switch to
  1041. Trevor, and he'll be driving this vehicle. It is presumably the same Phantom
  1042. from the mission, but with a blanked license plate. Use the trick in section
  1043. 3.3 to store it in Trevor's interior garage. It can technically be stored in
  1044. Floyd's parking spot, but since that is lost forever at a certain point in the
  1045. story, it is not a permanent solution, and there will be a period of time
  1046. where no suitable safehouse garage exists to store this.

  1060. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  1061. **Post-mission
  1063. ----------------------------------------
  1064. Description: A metallic black Sadler with a random pearlescent and a blank
  1065. plate. Nothing else is particularly memorable about the vehicle, including the
  1066. slow acceleration and clunky handling.
  1068. ----------------------------------------
  1069. STRATEGY: If the mission either begins or ends with Trevor (or both), and you
  1070. have NOT failed the mission and kept going, switching to the other character
  1071. after the mission ends will find him taking cover in a cylindrical structure
  1072. that is under construction near the southern docks. This will be parked
  1073. nearby, slightly to the east. Just get inside and drive to a garage. The last
  1074. chance to switch characters during the mission is during the second part of
  1075. the Seashark chase, where the trio is heading southeast under bridges. Once
  1076. the "Lose the Cops" objective appears, you're locked into whoever you're
  1077. controlling.
  1079. ----------------------------------------
  1080. NOTE: This is mutually exclusive with 5.6 - Black Canis Mesa w/ blank plate
  1081. and 5.7 - Drumless Black HVY Mixer. As they appear after the mission, only one
  1082. of the three can be obtained.

  1094. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  1095. **Post-mission
  1097. ----------------------------------------
  1098. Description: A metallic black Mesa that has a blank license plate and a random
  1099. pearlescent color. Seems to be the same one as seen after Complications if
  1100. switching to Franklin, as it always spawns without the fully-closed back. The
  1101. wheels also don't show as equipped, as with the previous one.
  1103. ----------------------------------------
  1104. STRATEGY: If the mission starts and ends as Franklin, switching to Trevor will
  1105. find him taking cover behind a concrete wall bordering a road near the
  1106. southern docks. This will be parked nearby, slightly to the west. Just get
  1107. inside and drive to a garage. The last chance to switch to Franklin during the
  1108. mission is during the second part of the Seashark chase, where the trio is
  1109. heading southeast under bridges. Once the "Lose the Cops" objective appears,
  1110. you're locked into whoever you're controlling.

  1128. Discovered by: Timcatgt (Columbo for confirming)
  1129. **Post-mission
  1131. ----------------------------------------
  1132. Description: This is quite a unique Mixer, as it is missing the mixing drum!
  1133. Everything but the drum is present, so it looks like the drum was just deleted
  1134. off of the vehicle. The color is black and the plate is blank, as well. An odd
  1135. vehicle that any collector should consider!
  1137. ----------------------------------------
  1138. STRATEGY: To cause this to appear, you must start AND finish the mission as
  1139. Trevor. In addition, the mission must be failed at least once (die, get
  1140. busted, or fail some objective). After finishing the mission, switch back to
  1141. Franklin and he will be slightly northwest of where he would normally be after
  1142. the mission. Head northeast and you'll find this on the north side of the
  1143. building. Once it is in sight, the rather unique appearance will be easy to
  1144. notice. You can play as Franklin during most of the mission, so long as it
  1145. ends as Trevor.

  1164. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  1165. Unique license plate: [5T3ALM3]
  1167. ----------------------------------------
  1168. Description: This is a rusty brown Towtruck (similar to JB's Towtruck) with a
  1169. unique plate that is somewhat out of place, given that there is no reason in
  1170. this mission for it to exist. Interestingly, the license plate seems to spell
  1171. out "STEALME," with numbers substituted for some letters.
  1173. ----------------------------------------
  1174. STRATEGY: This is parked outside the drydock to the right after Trevor
  1175. acquires the briefcase of manifests and Floyd gets his ass kicked. Get inside
  1176. and drive to the mission destination. After the mission ends, this will be
  1177. waiting outside. Unfortunately, Trevor doesn't have a garage that can fit
  1178. this, so arrange an impromptu meeting between Trevor and Michael, let Michael
  1179. take the Towtruck, then park it in his safehouse garage. Or you could store it
  1180. in Trevor's interior garage using the trick in section 3.3

  1201. a sight to behold and a pinnacle of performance.
  1203. ----------------------------------------
  1204. STRATEGY 1: Obtaining this vehicle is as simple as using the LSC trick. Take
  1205. the car to a LSC garage before finishing the mission and apply a modification.
  1206. Then, complete the mission. Afterwards, this will be waiting in the police
  1207. impound lot. Spend the money to get it out and it's yours! Note that doing
  1208. this may make the mission's time requirement difficult to meet, as this
  1209. mission does not give a lot of spare time due to the expected top speed you're
  1210. supposed to spend most of the mission at.
  1212. ----------------------------------------
  1213. (For both this and car 5.10)

  1217. vehicle and drive away. You'll fail the mission for abandoning the vehicle.

  1316. sure to complete "Hotel Assassination" prior to this mission. Switch to Trevor
  1317. and get inside the Peote, then switch to Franklin. With luck, it will trigger

  1526. Description: A plain, ordinary taxi that just happens to have a blank license
  1527. plate. The taxi has no light on the roof.
  1529. --------------------
  1530. Availability: Randomly occurs when switching to Franklin, or loading an
  1531. autosave with Franklin as the active character. This event will no longer
  1532. occur once the mission Mr. Philips is complete. This event consists of
  1533. Franklin having a conversation with Tanisha in his aunt's safehouse. After the
  1534. conversation ends, she will leave the safehouse and drive off in this Taxi.
  1536. --------------------
  1537. STRATEGY 1 (requires online access): This can only be done before finishing
  1538. the mission Complications. First, to trigger the event, make sure the most
  1539. recent save file is the one you want to obtain this on. Enter GTA:O and start
  1540. a session. Then, return to single player. With luck, this event will trigger.
  1541. Once it has triggered, pursue the Taxi in Franklin's Buffalo and pull in
  1542. front. Force the driver from the vehicle, either by shooting or by ramming it
  1543. repeatedly. Once he's out, attempt to enter the Taxi. You will fail because it

  1545. wheel; select the bottom slot). Once in, return once again to single player
  1546. (easily doable via the character wheel again). If done correctly, the Taxi
  1547. should be parked nearby, unlocked.

  1552. STRATEGY 2: Get in a Towtruck (easily found outside the LSC garage near the
  1553. Airport) to mark it as your "active" vehicle. Now, trigger an autosave as
  1554. Franklin, and load that save. With luck, it will load the event, and the
  1555. Towtruck will be waiting outside Franklin's house. Get inside and chase after
  1556. the Taxi, and after catching it, hook it up. Tow it to a garage, and maneuver
  1557. it inside to store. Then you can save and load the game to refresh it and
  1558. make it usable, or drive far enough away and return.

  1572. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  1573. Unique license plate: [BETTY 32]
  1575. --------------------
  1576. Description: A red Faggio with a unique license plate. Given that it is garnet
  1577. red and has the same plate as Trevor's Bodhi truck, it can be assumed that
  1578. this scooter belongs to Trevor, and was not just appropriated from some poor
  1579. guy (at least recently).
  1581. --------------------
  1582. Availability: Randomly occurs when switching to Trevor, or loading an autosave
  1583. with Trevor as the active character. It will only occur after finishing
  1584. Friends Reunited (when Trevor officially moves to Los Santos), and will place
  1585. Trevor on one of the highways leading out of Los Santos.
  1587. --------------------
  1588. STRATEGY: Trevor is riding this vehicle during the event. Once you notice the
  1589. distinctive "scooter brother" situation, turn around and drive it to a garage.

  1604. --------------------
  1605. Description: This is a Gang Burrito with the usual Lost biker gang livery. The
  1606. big difference is this one has a blank license plate, and it can actually be
  1607. saved in a garage unlike many appearances of this van.
  1609. --------------------
  1610. Availability: Randomly occurs when switching to Trevor, or loading an autosave
  1611. with Trevor as the active character. It will only occur after finishing
  1612. Friends Reunited (when Trevor officially moves to Los Santos), and will place
  1613. Trevor on a bridge in Los Santos, teaching a Lost biker how to fly.
  1615. --------------------
  1616. STRATEGY: After the event ends, this Gang Burrito will be parked on the road
  1617. nearby. Get inside and drive it to Trevor's trailer garage in Sandy Shores.
  1618. Alternatively, you can store it in Trevor's interior garage using the trick in

  1634. 6.1 - Special Orange Bravado Bison
  1635. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1636. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1637. Mission: Repossession [F] (Simeon)
  1638. Difficulty: *
  1639. Required: Nothing
  1640. Discovered by: Lancet Jades
  1641. **LSC trick
  1643. ----------------------------------------
  1644. Description: This is a bright orange Bison, not to be confused with the actual
  1645. "bright orange" color. The actual color is somewhere in between classic orange
  1646. and bright orange, and cannot be replicated with any existing color. It also
  1647. has unique lighting effects and what appears to be a bright white pearlescent
  1648. coloring.
  1650. ----------------------------------------
  1651. STRATEGY 1: Once you reach the alley, run to the Bison and get in. The mission
  1652. will fail once the window is broken. Choose to exit the mission, and Franklin
  1653. will still be inside the truck (or standing right outside). Drive it to a
  1654. garage. Sometimes this will not work, and the Bison will vanish after exiting
  1655. the mission, but if so, just try again. This should be your go-to strategy
  1656. unless you're really stuck-up about never ever failing a mission, ever.
  1658. ----------------------------------------
  1659. (This strategy is for 360 players to obtain without mission failure)
  1660. STRATEGY 2: Once the Vagos have been killed and the objective to catch the
  1661. bike is displayed, get inside the Bison instead of leaving the alley. Use the
  1662. Bison to knock the driver off the bike, and Lamar will drive it back to the
  1663. meeting point. Once you've taken the bike there, it will be parked nearby. It
  1664. is important that the biker is allowed to escape and that Lamar gets inside
  1665. before killing the biker in order for this to be obtainable! If the biker is
  1666. killed BEFORE Lamar gets inside the truck, it will be UJ after finishing the
  1667. mission. Still technically obtainable, but needlessly difficult.
  1669. <<Formulated by: Lancet Jades (lol232, fnxrak for the details)>>
  1671. ----------------------------------------
  1672. (This strategy is for PS3 players to obtain without mission failure)
  1673. STRATEGY 3: This vehicle is a bit harder to obtain without mission failure on
  1674. PS3. Using the above strategy won't work because the Bison won't be at the car
  1675. wash in the PS3 version. Proceed with the mission until all the Vagos are
  1676. dead. Once they are, quickly run to the entrance of the alley. The target will
  1677. appear for a moment before driving off. Shoot him off the bike at this moment.
  1678. Once the objective appears to drive the bike back to the car wash, go get the
  1679. Bison. Now, you must double-drive this and the Bagger to a LSC garage. Modify
  1680. the Bison, then drive the bike to the destination and finish the mission.
  1681. Afterwards, the Bison will be waiting in the police impound lot.
  1683. <<Formulated by: StuntmanSnake>>
  1685. ----------------------------------------
  1686. NOTE: It has been reported that strategy 3 is unnecessary for many people,
  1687. even on the PS3 version. Try it if strategy 2 doesn't work, but sometimes it
  1688. is a matter of not killing the biker too quickly. Letting him survive a little
  1689. while seems to solve the problem of the Bison vanishing, and killing him
  1690. before he drives off may stop that from working on PS3 altogether.

  1703. Set license plate: [57EIG117]
  1704. **Complete mission
  1706. ----------------------------------------
  1707. Description: Jimmy's SUV, purchased from Simeon during the ending cutscene of
  1708. Franklin and Lamar. Its color is unique, being somewhere between classic
  1709. yellow and classic race yellow, with different lighting. This is the same
  1710. BeeJay XL that is found after this mission, however this one differs by having
  1711. a set license plate (the same one seen during the mission).
  1713. ----------------------------------------
  1714. STRATEGY: This will be found in the showroom immediately after the mission
  1715. ends. If this is not taken immediately (before leaving the area), it will lose
  1716. its unique license plate and become vehicle 6.3.

  1734. yellow and classic race yellow, with different lighting.
  1736. ----------------------------------------
  1737. STRATEGY: After finishing the mission, leave the BeeJay XL in the car
  1738. dealership and go do something else (or load an autosave made after the
  1739. mission). When you return, the vehicle will still be there, but will no
  1740. longer have a unique license plate. This vehicle will stay in the dealership
  1741. until either you have passed Father/Son, or a character enters the vehicle
  1742. (whether they actually take it or not).

  1750. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1751. Mission: After Complications [MF] (Simeon), before Father/Son [MF] (Michael);
  1752. or after Father/Son and before Mr. Philips via an exploit
  1753. Difficulty: *
  1754. Required: Nothing
  1755. Discovered by: Lancet Jades
  1756. **Post-mission
  1758. ----------------------------------------
  1759. Description: Sitting in Simeon's car dealership after the mission, this is a
  1760. matte yellow BeeJay XL with a classic dark steel secondary color. The primary
  1761. color is not equipped, despite being exactly the same as matte yellow. The
  1762. roof (which is the secondary color) has a red pearlescent color to it, which
  1763. is very unique considering that it only affects the secondary color, not the
  1764. primary.
  1766. ----------------------------------------
  1767. RGO reason: The red pearlescent on the secondary color will disappear if saved
  1768. inside an interior garage. Additionally, choosing to respray the primary color
  1769. during customization will also remove the pearlescent (although the secondary
  1770. color can be changed if desired).
  1772. ----------------------------------------
  1773. STRATEGY 1: After finishing the mission, there will be vehicles inside the
  1774. dealership. These will continually appear until finishing Father/Son. This is
  1775. the BeeJay XL farthest inside the dealership. However, initially upon
  1776. finishing the mission, this will be a red BeeJay XL. Load an autosave from
  1777. after the mission, or drive a distance away and back, and it will now be
  1778. replaced with this vehicle. This will continue to respawn no matter how many
  1779. are taken.
  1781. ----------------------------------------
  1782. STRATEGY 2: This can be obtained after Father/Son by exploiting the game's
  1783. imperfect loading of non-static obstacles. It is recommended to use Franklin
  1784. to exploit his special ability for avoiding traffic. Drive down Adams Apple
  1785. Blvd. (the street that Trevor's interior garage is on) to the west, towards
  1786. the freeway overpass. After crossing underneath, the road ahead will look like
  1787. a bridge. At this point, turn around and drive back towards the dealership.
  1788. Drive at high speed towards the wooden cover in the corner where Franklin
  1789. crashed the SUV in Complications.
  1791. What should happen is the game will load a placeholder graphic for the wood,
  1792. then remove it for a split second before replacing it with the actual solid
  1793. obstacle. During this window of opportunity, you are able to drive inside and
  1794. claim this vehicle. If the wood fully loads, just drive away and try again.
  1795. If playing on an Xbox 360, consider making sure the play disc is not installed
  1796. to a USB drive to maximize the game's loading time and increase the window of
  1797. opportunity.
  1799. Once inside the dealership (and if this vehicle actually spawned; it won't
  1800. always be there), get inside and call the other character to hang out. Switch
  1801. to that character, and the game will teleport the one trapped in the
  1802. dealership to outside, so that the meeting can happen. You can either scare
  1803. off the other character or hang with them once the meeting happens, but
  1804. afterwards, make sure to switch back to them to get control of this vehicle
  1805. and finally be able to garage it. Really, you should try to get this BEFORE
  1806. Father/Son and save yourself all this trouble.

  1824. McGill-Olsen Construction, "The Original Cowboy Builder." Similar to the lawn
  1825. care branded utility Bison.
  1827. ----------------------------------------
  1828. STRATEGY: This will require maneuvering Franklin and Michael to Michael's
  1829. driveway, near where the mission starts. Have Michael stand in the middle of
  1830. his driveway (near the Bison) on foot, then switch to Franklin and have him
  1831. drive to Michael's house. Get an SUV or light truck on the way (something like
  1832. a Cavalcade or another Bison is ideal). Once Franklin arrives at Michael's,
  1833. the mission icon should have vanished. Switch back to Michael once Franklin is
  1834. in the driveway, which will trigger Franklin to leave the vehicle and comment
  1835. on meeting Michael like this.
  1837. Then, have Michael jack Franklin's vehicle, and then push the Bison into the
  1838. nearby garage (be careful once it gets close to the garage door, or you can
  1839. pin the door shut and have to start all over). Once it is inside, drive away
  1840. from Michael's house until the mission icon reappears. The Bison should be
  1841. waiting inside the garage. At this point, you can also move it to an interior
  1842. garage if desired.

  1867. a Cavalcade or another Bison is ideal). Once Franklin arrives at Michael's,
  1868. the mission icon should have vanished. Switch back to Michael once Franklin is
  1869. in the driveway, which will trigger Franklin to leave the vehicle and comment

  1897. color types. The primary color is classic dark blue. It also has stock
  1898. lowrider wheels, but does not show them as equipped, which makes it even more
  1899. unique. It also has a unique license plate, although this point is rather
  1900. moot, as it is already very unique, and the plate follows the normal plate
  1901. format.
  1903. ----------------------------------------
  1904. STRATEGY 1: Once the mission begins, quickly get inside and drive off before
  1905. either Lamar or Stretch can get inside. Once one of the two is left behind,
  1906. drive away until the mission fails, than exit it. Now take it to a garage.

  2055. Discovered by: Lancet Jades
  2056. Unique license plate: [5912FL34]
  2058. --------------------
  2059. Description: This sweet white sports car not only has an automatic retractable
  2060. roof, but also comes equipped with a unique license plate. It is the right of
  2061. the two cars, and also the white one. Taking it prompts Lamar to call Franklin
  2062. a "choosy motherfucker."
  2064. --------------------
  2065. Unobtainable: No damn way to get it out of the mission. It doesn't help that
  2066. this is one of the two "beginning" missions, and thus cannot be cancelled or
  2067. exited.
  2068. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2072. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2073. 7.3 - FIB w/ carbine rifle box
  2074. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2075. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2077. Discovered by: Lancet Jades
  2079. --------------------
  2080. Description: A regular FIB truck with a wooden box of carbine rifles in the
  2081. back seat. This box is not found in these trucks outside of the target in
  2082. this mission.
  2084. --------------------
  2085. Unobtainable: Failing the mission will cause the truck to disappear, and
  2086. completing it will lead directly to the heist. Although the truck is driving
  2087. around prior to the mission actually starting, it does not seem possible to
  2088. cancel the mission and prevent it from starting. And since LSC won't touch
  2089. police vehicles, the LSC trick won't work.
  2090. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2094. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2095. 7.4 - [Unique] Black Declasse Burrito
  2096. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2102. --------------------
  2103. Description: The only unique feature on this black Burrito is its unique
  2104. plate. It may seem like a standard plate, but it has four numbers in the
  2105. middle instead of the usual three.
  2107. --------------------
  2108. Unobtainable: This van is an essential part of the mission and does not exist
  2109. outside of it. it will inevitably be left behind while escaping, and failing
  2110. the heist does not give an option to exit the mission. Even if it did, it's
  2111. highly likely the van would disappear anyways. And LSC will not allow
  2112. modification of this vehicle.
  2113. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2117. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2118. 7.5 [Unique] "Bugstars" Declasse Burrito

  2122. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  2123. Unique license plate: [TODO PT1]
  2125. --------------------
  2126. Description: This is a Burrito with the Bugstars livery and a unique license
  2127. plate. This van is not unique, despite seeming so, as they will randomly spawn
  2128. in the Bugstars garage outside of this mission.
  2130. --------------------
  2131. Unobtainable: This van is an essential part of the mission and does not exist
  2132. outside of it. it will inevitably be left behind while escaping, and failing
  2133. the heist does not give an option to exit the mission. Even if it did, it's
  2134. highly likely the van would disappear anyways. And LSC will not allow
  2135. modification of this vehicle.

  2146. Unique license plate: [B3L13V3]
  2148. --------------------
  2149. Description: This is Ron's blue quadbike, and it has a unique license plate
  2150. that hints at his paranoia and conspiracy theory-based personality.
  2152. --------------------
  2153. Unobtainable: This bike is UJ during the mission, and will be long gone by the
  2154. time the mission is over. Failing the mission through any means and exiting
  2155. will also cause it to disappear, leaving no options for obtaining it.
  2156. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2160. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2161. 7.7 - Cargobob w/ TPI graffiti
  2162. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2163. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2164. Mission: The Merryweather Heist [MFT] (Heist - Offshore)
  2165. Discovered by: Lancet Jades
  2167. --------------------
  2168. Description: A standard Cargobob with graffiti sprayed on it indicating it is
  2169. now the property of "TPI," or Trevor Philips Industries. As Franklin points
  2170. out, despite the graffiti, existing military logos are not sufficiently
  2171. obscured so as to hide the fact it is a stolen military helicopter. Despite
  2172. its checkered past, it performs valiantly as a bastion from which the gang can
  2173. fight the New World Order's lizard army.
  2175. --------------------
  2176. Unobtainable: This is only used during the mission, and vanishes before the
  2177. mission ends. It will also vanish if the mission is failed and exited.

  2191. rear, used to shoot down the jet during the mission.
  2193. --------------------
  2194. Unobtainable: It is required to be destroyed as part of the mission, and as it
  2195. is a mission-important vehicle, any attempt to fail the mission while driving
  2196. it will still result in it vanishing. LSC also will not accept this vehicle
  2197. for modification.
  2198. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2202. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2203. 7.9 - [Unique] Black Gallivanter Baller

  2212. exactly who owns it.
  2214. --------------------

  2223. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2224. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2225. Mission: Deep Inside [F] (Devin)

  2231. cool. Also has a unique license plate hinting that the JB stands for Bond.
  2232. James Bond.
  2234. --------------------
  2235. Unobtainable: This is a mission-important vehicle that vanishes after the
  2236. mission is completed, and will also vanish if the mission is failed, even if
  2237. Franklin is still driving it. Also, LSC is closed during the mission,
  2238. preventing the LSC trick from allowing it to be kept.
  2239. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2243. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2244. 7.11 - Barracks w/ armor boxes
  2245. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2252. contain the heavy body armor to be used in the heist.
  2254. --------------------
  2255. Unobtainable: There is no way to get the vehicle out of the mission, and even
  2256. if there was, it is likely that the boxes would vanish, as happens with most
  2257. "vehicles that contain a box."
  2258. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2262. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2263. 7.12 - [Unique] Yellow Pegassi Monroe

  2266. Mission: Pack Man [FT] (Devin)
  2267. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  2268. Unique license plate: [FA5T66]
  2270. --------------------
  2271. Description: A bright yellow Monroe with a unique plate. Sleek design, high
  2272. speed, and excellent handling will make you regret the fact that this is
  2273. unobtainable.
  2275. --------------------
  2276. Unobtainable: This is a mission-important vehicle that vanishes after the
  2277. mission is completed, and will also vanish if the mission is failed, even if
  2278. Franklin is still driving it. Also, LSC is closed during the mission,
  2279. preventing the LSC trick from allowing it to be kept.

  2289. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  2290. Unique license plate: [ALPHADOG]
  2292. --------------------
  2293. Description: A bright red Stinger with a unique plate. Somehow manages to be
  2294. even more unobtainable than the previous Monroe, as it is already on the
  2295. Packer and cannot be removed.
  2297. --------------------
  2298. Unobtainable: As mentioned in the preceding paragraph, this car is already
  2299. loaded onto the Packer and cannot be removed, making this extra unobtainable.

  2311. Unique license plate: [MKB652]
  2313. --------------------
  2314. Description: This is a metallic orange Entity XF with black trim and a unique

  2358. James Bond. This version also has spikes that can be deployed behind the car,
  2359. and a machine gun that fires forward, at the perfect level for shooting
  2360. through car windows to hit the occupants.
  2362. --------------------
  2363. Unobtainable: Even though this car seems some action during the mission, it
  2364. cannot be retrieved from the mission, and LSC garages are closed (not that you
  2365. could get it to one during the time you're driving it, anyways).
  2366. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2370. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2371. 7.17 - [Unique] Black Z-Type

  2420. and a stash box of marijuana in the backseat.
  2422. --------------------
  2423. Unobtainable: The stash box in the back will vanish if the car is stored in
  2424. a garage, or even if you switch characters to someone else and back. Even
  2425. then, it requires sniping the truck from outside the mission start radius to
  2426. even prevent it from vanishing, since the car will not start, and vanishes if
  2427. the mission is failed.

  2444. --------------------
  2445. Unobtainable: The stash box in the back will vanish if the truck is stored in
  2446. a garage, or even if you switch characters to someone else and back. Even
  2447. then, it requires sniping the truck from outside the mission start radius to
  2448. even prevent it from starting; failing the mission (even while inside the
  2449. truck) will cause it to vanish.
  2450. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2462. Description: This is a bronze Speedo van with a rake and a bag of gardening
  2463. tools in the back. There is also a helmet in the back of the van, but this will

  2475. ==============================================================================
  2476. *8* RARE VEHICLES
  2477. ==============================================================================
  2478. These vehicles aren't anything inherently special, but are nonetheless unique

  2480. to unlock. These can all be obtained at the end of the game without any
  2481. problem.
  2483. In GTAV, this also includes each character's personal vehicles, which are
  2484. persistent objects in-game, and will retain all modifications and upgrades
  2485. even if lost or abandoned. These personal vehicles cannot be stored in
  2486. interior garages, and will usually not properly save even in normal safehouse
  2487. garages.
  2490. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2500. Description: The proud tradition of the Buffalo as a high-powered muscle car

  2517. --------------------
  2518. Description: This is a rather mediocre motorcycle that is given to (read:
  2519. forced upon) Franklin by Lamar. It is not necessarily a bad vehicle, but its

  2559. --------------------
  2560. Description: A black four-door sedan with good statistics across the board.

  2562. sedans. Both the primary and secondary colors are classic black.
  2564. --------------------
  2565. NOTE: When this vehicle is returned after Monkey Business, all previous
  2566. modifications will have been stripped, and new ones applied.

  2578. --------------------
  2579. Description: This is a green caddy with a ProLaps livery. What makes it
  2580. special is the presence of a blue golf club bag on the back. You would think
  2581. most caddies on the golf course would have one, but alas, no.

  2620. shadow silver secondary color. The secondary also seems to have a random
  2621. pearlescent color. Since this is a persistent vehicle in-game, it is likely
  2622. that the pearlescent is determined when starting Daddy's Little Girl, since
  2623. that is the first time this vehicle appears. However, the vehicle sometimes
  2624. spawns in the driveway prior to this mission, and if it does, the pearlescent
  2625. will be determined then.

  2636. **No interior garage
  2637. **Persistent vehicle
  2639. --------------------
  2640. Description: A rugged and robust pickup truck that handles fairly well in the
  2641. desert of Blaine County. Its speed and acceleration are not the greatest,
  2642. although upgrades will make it a formidable vehicle. The wheels of this truck
  2643. are the default off-road wheels, but they do not show up as equipped; a
  2644. slightly unique attribute.

  2650. 8.9 - "Lost" Declasse Gang Burrito
  2651. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2652. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2653. Unlocked: When random events become available (for the first chances).
  2654. Found: In various random events, switch events, and missions. The best
  2655. recurring source of this vehicle is in random missions at the Scrapyard.
  2656. **No interior garage
  2658. --------------------
  2659. Description: This is a larger version of the Burrito van, with a black and
  2660. red paintjob and the "Lost" biker gang's livery. Unlike the normal Burrito,
  2661. this cannot be stored in interior garages unless using the trick in section
  2662. 3.3.
  2664. --------------------
  2665. Missions this vehicle may also be found in:
  2666. -Mr. Philips

  2674. 8.10 - "Smoke on the Water" Brute Pony
  2675. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2676. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2677. Unlocked: When Franklin purchases "Smoke on the Water."
  2678. Found: In "Smoke on the Water" random property missions.
  2679. **No interior garage
  2681. --------------------
  2682. Description: A normal van, like many others, but with the livery for the
  2683. prescription marijuana shop "Smoke on the Water." The van is black, with a
  2684. green marijuana leaf motif for the front.
  2686. --------------------
  2687. --STRATEGY: To obtain this, first store a Towtruck at the Floyd's house
  2688. parking spot. Wait for a Smoke on the Water mission to appear, and then obtain
  2689. the van and return it to the store. It will now be UJ. Fetch the Towtruck from
  2690. the nearby parking spot at Floyd's house and tow the van there. Leave and
  2691. return (or save and load) and it can be driven! However, it is still unable
  2692. to be stored in an interior garage normally, so either keep it in a normal
  2693. garage (such as Floyd's), or use the trick in section 3.3 to put it into an
  2694. interior garage.

  2805. ==============================================================================
  2806. These vehicles are ones that are only even remotely special because their
  2807. license plate is always the same. What sets these apart from unique plate
  2808. vehicles is that these plates follow the normal random naming convention:
  2809. 2 numbers, then 3 letters, then 3 numbers. These are most likely NOT actually
  2810. unique or special, as they could theoretically be created randomly in normal
  2811. gameplay at any point. I'm only including this section because people would
  2812. complain if I just ditched these vehicles from the guide LIKE I SHOULD.
  2814. Remember, these vehicles are only here, in this section, because their "set"
  2815. license plate is the ONLY thing making them special. Any serious special
  2816. vehicle collectors would turn their noses up at this section like a gourmand
  2817. rejecting dog food.

  2824. Mission: The Big Stretch [F] (Lamar)
  2825. Difficulty: **
  2826. Required: Nothing
  2827. Discovered by: Timcatgt
  2828. Set license plate: [34MTA729]
  2830. ----------------------------------------
  2831. Description: A metallic silver Cavalcade with its default pearlescent. The
  2832. license plate is always the same, although it may not be truly unique, as it
  2833. follows the random plate format and could theoretically be generated on any
  2834. random Cavalcade.
  2836. ----------------------------------------
  2837. STRATEGY: After escaping the building and the grounds, Franklin will be tasked
  2838. with losing a three-star wanted level in a conveniently-provided Jackal. Look
  2839. down the street to the northwest and the Cavalcade will be parked on the side
  2840. of the road. Get in, escape the cops, and finish the mission, then take it to
  2841. a garage.

  2860. secondary), and an unknown pearlescent. It has a set license plate, and is
  2861. apparently used by agent Dave Norton.
  2863. ----------------------------------------
  2864. STRATEGY: As soon as the mission begins, drive into the food court of the FIB
  2865. building and ram the two agents sitting at the table. This will fail the
  2866. mission. After exiting, drive to a garage. Interestingly, hitting the nameless
  2867. agent near the car will NOT fail the mission, and Dave says he'll just pretend
  2868. he didn't see that happen.

  2891. --------------------
  2892. STRATEGY: During the mission, take the car to LSC and modify it in some way.

  2908. **No interior garage
  2909. **Persistent vehicle
  2911. --------------------
  2912. Description: This is a rental car that Michael possesses after his car is
  2913. taken following Did Somebody Say Yoga? Not a particularly amazing car, but it
  2914. gets the job well enough. The red color seems to be unique, though, and not
  2915. exactly similar to any existing colors.
  2917. --------------------
  2918. STRATEGY: Although technically a persistent vehicle, this is lost forever
  2919. after finishing Monkey Business. As a result, this vehicle is actually
  2920. classified as a "special" vehicle due to its set license plate (which isn't
  2921. truly unique, unlike other persistent vehicles' plates). The only way to keep
  2922. this is to use the 3.3 trick to put it into an interior garage. There's no
  2923. way to preserve its persistent property, though, since putting it in the
  2924. interior garage will strip the persistence from it.

  2942. Description: This is apparently Nigel's car, and is parked nearby the mission
  2943. location. It is metallic Mariner Blue with a random pearlescent. The license
  2944. plate is set to a specific combination.
  2946. ----------------------------------------
  2947. STRATEGY: First, get a Towtruck, from the LSC Garage near the Airport if
  2948. needed. Next, drive to the mission start location (it's in Vinewood Hills) and
  2949. fire a shot near Nigel to scare him off, cancelling the mission. This is
  2950. parked up the street to the northeast of Nigel's position. Hook it up the
  2951. Towtruck, drive it to Floyd's house, and leave it in the parking spot. Drive
  2952. away and return (or save and load), and there it is! This can also be done
  2953. later in the game with the Vanilla Unicorn's parking spots.
  2955. If for some reason you want to get this during the period between access to
  2956. Floyd's house and the Vanilla Unicorn, you can try to carefully and tediously
  2957. wedge it into Trevor's Sandy Shores garage. But don't do this unless it is
  2958. absolutely necessary. It's a pain in the dick.

  3018. was in the alley. Hook it up the Towtruck, drive it to Floyd's house, and
  3019. leave it in the parking spot. Drive away and return (or save and load), and
  3020. there it is! This can also be done later in the game with the Vanilla
  3021. Unicorn's parking spots.
  3023. If for some reason you want to get this during the period between access to
  3024. Floyd's house and the Vanilla Unicorn, you can try to carefully and tediously

  3053. If n/a is listed for the make, it means there is no make listed in the game.

  3386. *11* MISSION LIST
  3387. ==============================================================================
  3388. A list of all missions in the game, along with what vehicles are available in
  3389. those missions. This list is the order used to sort the vehicles. Strangers
  3390. and Freaks missions are also listed. While the 100% checklist mentions 20 of
  3391. these missions, there are actually many more, with only some of them counting
  3392. towards the actual 100%. These list all of the missions, regardless of whether
  3393. they count.
  3395. Some missions do not count towards the 69 required for 100% completion, but
  3396. still have an entry in the Replay Missions list, as well as award a medal
  3397. based on completion of optional criteria (that count towards the 70 gold
  3398. medals achievement). These will be denoted with an asterisk (*) and numbered
  3399. with the same number as the previous mission in the list. This keeps the
  3400. numbered missions at 69 total while still including these "non-mission"
  3401. missions.
  3403. Note that the characters listed as participating in each mission are basded on
  3404. which actually is part of the mission, and not who the game awards completion
  3405. of the mission to. For example, only Michael gets credit for finishing
  3406. Prologue, but both he and Trevor are part of that mission.

  3686. vehicles from missions by modding them at LSC.
  3688. lol232
  3689. ~Pointed out that the special orange Bison in Repossession might not be

  3702. vehicle at interioer garages!!! And how to duplicate vehicles.
  3704. Timcatgt

  3708. discoverer person thingy for GTAV thus far.

  3764. the vehicle sections a lot, better distinguishing between different entries
  3765. and sections. Split main sections into "unique/blank plates" and "other
