Also the black truck is always in the fenced apartment area across the street from the gym.

How can I up my respect? I've completed quite a few missions that give me respect but it's still pretty low.
Also how do I start a gang? It said I could but I'm not sure how...
Thanks.

Look at (target) a guy wearing green and press up on the D pad. You can get up to 3 I believe.
From the other thread, respect is small in the begining missions, and grows exponentionally after a certain mission.

I don't think I have much advice to give though. I went for the 3 nearest guys, then went for the other two. The kicker is after you beat them all you have to make it back to the roof or you fail. Lame.

Ok I need some info taking over gang territories.
Now I took over the territory in the park under the bridge (might have been a mission) completed it, its green its mine. Went to save it and the $ sign was in front of my house generating money. Good to go.
Now I didn't incite any more gang wars in any other areas and I continued to do regular missions, and finished the Sabre mission I think.
Now nothing, my $ is gone in front of my house, my "territory" is not green anymore, and I can't take over any more territories, WTF??
Am I going to be able to re-visit this part of the game again, or is it because I went foreword with the game, and started doing regular missions I am fucked gaining territory.
Next, what is the point of having a girlfriend? I know you need to do stuff with her to make her happy, so I did, and the only thing it has gotten me is a pimp suit she got for me. My question is, does she get me anything else important? is it crucial to the story to get the girlfriend bar to full?
Thanks

I think I will try the strategy of going after the 2 targets that are way off the general area.

Supply Lines is impossible!! Between two people we must have tried 30 times yesterday. Trying different methods, I can kills all five but run out of gas on the way back! My only tips so far is try to stay airborn as much as possible and us as little fuel as possible. Other than that, get the three closest then the other two and pray you have enough gas to get back.

Yeah, I took out the first three pretty fast.( got pretty good doing that after try number 30) I hit the nearest truck as you take off, swung around to the left and got the guy on the bike, then took out the other van nearby. I took each one on one flyby. I then headed to the 2 further out. I got lucky on the next one. which was a motorcycle. It was headed toward me and I strafed him with a lucky shot. I was about to turn around to chase him when he blew up. I dive bombed the last one while firing and made it back to the roof with just a sliver of fuel left.
I kept the throttle on full while getting to each target and slowing down a little when I got close to line up my shots. In the end I got lucky, I think.

What do you "get" when you... ?
Do 100 taxi missions?
do 100 police missions?
do 100 firetruck missions?
do 100 pimp missions?
spray over all of the tags?
Was it a pointless waste of my time to take over 100% of the areas? Now they all belong to the Ballers and I have nothing. I'm kinda pissed about it and debating on whether I should keep going on mini missions before starting that last los santo mission or if I should just say screw it and move on.
By the way - the drive from the backwoods back to the hood takes like 10 to 15 minutes going full throttle on a motorcycle without crashing. Huge game.

Some people have used that trick to make billions. I just used it to make about 100K before heading to San Fiero. That makes the game a bit easier to play, but still quite challenging.

The betting place doesn't even show up on my map, even though I have found it several times. I can't seem to find it again, is there a landmark to look for it?
