Really? I'm not too far into the game and when I did the Ice Cream mission I passed another Mr. Whoopee truck after I grabbed the one required for the mission.

If I had known it was rare, I would've taken one to the import/export garage.

I ordered the strategy guide for this game, but I don't feel guilty about it. I think this is one guide that's going to help me get a lot more out of the game (vs. just breezing through a game using the guide).

I think that if you are driving the ice cream truck, then you tend to see more of them. I had long passed that particular mission and had not seen an ice cream truck since that mission. I then went through and did some firetruck missions where I eventually had to put out an ice cream truck on fire. Once I put the fire out and drove the ice cream truck around I saw a few more.

Edit: You may have to put out quite a few fires before you see the ice cream truck. I had put out 35 fires when I found mine. I've heard reports that it may take over 100 tries to find an ice cream truck.

I agree about the game guide issue. I had started a game without using a guide and found myself missing a lot of the little side quests and missions you can do. I started a new game using a guide off of www.gamefaqs.com and have had a lot more fun as a result.

Where is the import/export garage in the third city? I've been trying to find it.

Here's how to get the BF Injection:
BF Injection - there is only one known place where this car can be found. Go to Hepburn Heights in Portland around 19:00 to 24:00, and it will be near the phone El Burro calls you on. You have to beat the "Sayonara Salvatore" mission before it appears.

I liked that it was understated. I liked hearing the news report voiceover ... thinking we were gonna just walk off into the sunset ... and the off-camera capper just fit the overall depravity of the game to me.

Then I actually enjoyed listening to the Lazzlo talk shows. Heh.

I picked it up once by the projects in the 1st city where its supposed to be and then died, but now when I go back its never there. I sat there once for 24 gametime hours and it still never showed up. This is the only car I have left to get for the ChopShop in the 3rd city so any help is greatly appreciated. THanks.

I think if you are in an area where something appears during certain hours it won't unless you walk away a bit to let it spawn...hope that makes sense.

Trigger: Yeah, the ending was short but I think it was fitting. Plus, the thing that happens during the credits was something that all my friends were like, it would be cool if the guy did this, five seconds before he did, so I thought that was cool.

Thank you both. I finally got it and completed the garage in the 3rd city :D

Hopefully this makes sense, but there is an L turn where you can drive across the area with the dam. (This is the city area you first get to if you take the bridge from Staunton. You pass the airport entrance and follow that road thats fairly long and has all trees on each side. Once you make the mandatory right turn and get to that light, you wanna make a left and start going uphill. You follow that road until you get to the dirt road that leads to across the dam. Follow the paved road to the right . There will be 1 or two mote turns but you wanna stay on that road. You wanna follow that until you make another sharp L turn right. Right before that turn there is a building on your right, you can pull in there and the garage door on the right is the one you want. You'll see the list of cars on the left of the door. Hope this helps.

So what's the Maibatsu Monstrosity look like? I wanted to drive one. :)

I just beat the game last night. Loved the ending! BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I still only have like 35% of the stuff you can do in the game complete, and even have a few of the phonebooth missions I can do, though so far the ones I can do have proven very hard. Also need to find most of the packages, do most of the unique jumps, and do all of the rampages. So I'll probably go back to the game now and then to try to finish all that.
