Import/Export Garage/Emergency Vehicle Crane
***************************************************************************
IMPORT/EXPORT GARAGE IN PORTLAND
***************************************************************************
This garage is located at the Portland Docks in Trenton, on the side of the
harbor that has the new freighter, not the broken-down one you have to
destroy in the "Bomb Da Base" mission. The people in this garage are
interested in these models of cars, written on a sign next to their door:
Securicar
Moonbeam
Coach
Flatbed
Linerunner
Trashmaster
Patriot
Mr. Whoopee
Blista
Mule
Yankee
Bobcat
Dodo
Bus
Rumpo
Pony
Bring one of each to their garage. You'll be paid $1,500 for each car. For
delivering all of them, you'll get $200,000, and icons representing the cars
you delivered inside the garage. Pick up an icon and you'll get to drive
out with the car it represents an infinite amount of times. You must
deliver EVERY car before the icons will appear. You won't get any icons for
delivering one car, half the cars, or even one car short of completion. You
need ALL of the cars.
Before I provide hints, I must give a few tips about finding cars around the
city. The car you are driving tends to cause cars on the road to appear
that are similar to it. Sports cars tend to spawn other sports cars, large
trucks tend to spawn other large trucks, etc. Also, the car park in Newport
in Staunton Island also goes by this rule. Whatever you drive in there with
will cause similar cars to be parked around. The cars that are always tend
to be in the garage though are Taxis, Blistas, Stallions, Esperantons, and
Rumpos. Also, try doing the Firefighter or Vigilante Emergency Vehicle
missions. You could end up pursuing rare vehicles like Trashmasters, Mr.
Whoopees, or Stretches.
I'll provide actual locations where the cars are parked, and then hints
below on the best places to look for these cars on the street. The cars are
listed in alphabetical order.

- An easier way to get one is to play the I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM mission by El
Burro, and instead of detonating Mr. Whoopee, simply shoot the guys who come
out to the ice cream truck. I've spotted Mr. Whoopee on occasion in Porter
Tunnel in Shoreside Vale, near the Wichita Gardens entrance. Try hunting
around down there.
####################################################################### Look
on Shoreside Vale, In Cedar Creek, by the Cartel Mansion at 13:30 to 15:00
for Mr. Whoopie. I think he really shows up about 2:05, but I'd rather be
safe than sorry when it comes to such a ***** of a vehicle to find.

A little off topic, but there is a special black Rumpo you can collect
during the game. In the mission UNDER SURVEILLANCE by Asuka, where you have
to eliminate the Mafia spies, you'll find a few of your targets in a black
Rumpo. This is the only black Rumpo in the game. The only special thing
about it is it's color.
SECURICAR
=========
PARKED
- nowhere
ON THE ROAD
- anywhere in the city, but its difficult getting one to appear. Try saving
the one you get to keep after the DECOY mission, blowing up the van from the
VAN HEIST mission in your garage, or looking for one during the ESCORT
SERVICE mission. Or you could drive around the stadium. Also, try NOT
looking for it. This may seem strange, but it seems like if you are not
searching for Securicars, more will appear!
#######################################################################
In your FAQ it says to get a Securicar to drive around the stadium, for some
people this works, and for other is doesn't. I spent weeks driving around
the stadium and never found one, it was the last car I needed for the import
garage, and was really pissing me off.
I found another more reliable source for Securicars. Go to the front of
Love's place (Staunton isle) at approx. 9:20 every morning one will drive by
on the opposite side of the street. For me at least it is always there.

TRASHMASTER
===========
PARKED
- nowhere
ON THE ROAD
- anywhere in Portland or Stauton Island, early in the morning or early
evening. One particular hotspot for them is the Callahan Bridge at the
above time.
YANKEE
======
PARKED
- Portland/Portland Docks/near the shipping containers where the new
freighter is.
- Portland/Portland Docks/near the shipping containers where the old
freighter is/used to be.
ON THE ROAD
- anywhere in the city, most common in Portland.
***************************************************************************
EMERGENCY VEHICLE CRANE IN PORTLAND
***************************************************************************
This crane is located next to the new freighter, not the old Cartel one.
Park your emergency vehicle in the area marked with yellow caution stripes
and the crane will lift the vehicle on the ship. There is no list of
vehicles, so I'll say which ones you need:
Police car
Enforcer
FBI Car
Barracks OL
Rhino
Ambulance
Fire Truck
You'll get $1,500 per vehicle delivered, and $200,000 after all are
delivered, plus an icon representing each vehicle you've delivered for
endless amounts of these cars. You must deliver EVERY car before the icons
will appear. You won't get any icons for delivering one car, half the cars,
or even one car short of completion. You need ALL of the cars.
Before I dispense my advice, I'll give you BBoyLofty's hint on collecting
Emergency vehicles easily:
#######################################################################
I just thought I'd give a helpful hint on completing the EV Crane
"Quest". The easiest way I've found on getting a FBI Car or any other
difficult emergency car is to lure them to the crane, by doing so after they
ram you they will get out of their car and attempt to pull you out. Now if
positioned correctly, when they ram into you and get out, their car will be
under the crane.
Once they approach your vehicle floor the gas and get away because since
they are out of the vehicle the magnet will pull the EV away. I have tried
seeing if the crane would pull an EV with people in it, but it only works
with an empty EV. I have tested this numerous times with all the EVs and it
works like a charm.

These are the best places to find these vehicles:
POLICE CAR
==========
PARKED
- Portland/Portland View/police station
- Staunton Island/Bedford Point/police station
- Shoreside Vale/Pike Creek/police station
- Shoreside Vale/Francis International Airport/helipad.
ON THE ROAD
- anywhere in the city.
ENFORCER
========
PARKED
Staunton Island/Beford Point/police station back parking lot. Use a police
vehicle to open the automated gate.
ON THE ROAD
- will begin chasing you after getting a four star wanted level.
FBI CAR
=======
PARKED
- nowhere
ON THE ROAD
- this is probably the hardest of all the emergency vehicles to get, as
there's absolutely no other way to get one other than getting a five-star
wanted level.
My fav way to get one is to get a five-star wanted level in Staunton, then
lure them towards the hideout where I burn the guys with the AK-47's using a
Molotov Cocktail or a Flame-thrower when they jump out of the car. Be sure
to take cover while they burn because they can ignore the fire for awhile.
This kills the agents and keeps the car relatively unharmed. Place the FBI
car in your garage, then save your game. Load your game and there will be
no police after you.
Another way to get the FBI Car is to lure one down into your hideout, but
not too far into it. Make sure it stays on the exit ramp or something.
Now, run away from the car when the agents leap out, then hide out of sight
of the FBI agents, like near the save elevator. Sometimes when you run back
out, the agents will vanish and you can take the car without having to
fight.
The last way to do it that I can think of is to get an FBI Car to again
chase you into your hideout, then get all the Police Bribes if you've earned
them. If you can get your wanted level down all the way, you can grab their
car and only get one star.
Try testing out the Best Locations to Fight the Police section near the
bottom of the FAQ. Most of those locations are also good locations to snag
an FBI Car.
#######################################################################
Head to the multilevel parking garage in Staunton, and cause a nice ruckus
in any way you like. Once the police are suitably mad (three stars?), I
prefer to run up to the second (or is it first and a half?) floor where I
can see through to the entrance gate, and snipe the cops as they run in.
Once I've gotten five stars, I get into the fastest but also most durable
thing I can find in the garage, and BACK out one of the entrances. As soon
as you hear the sirens, race back in, and with any lucky you'll have one or
two FBI cars following you in! Now, they'll probably batter themselves up on
the pillars and other parked cars, and they sure don't take those ramps very
well. ;)
Eventually you'll get them out of the car, and it's then a simple matter of
running them over (if your car got smashed up luring them in, grab another
in case their AK's ignite the engine). Now you've got their (probably
smoking) car.
Hop in, drive up to the roof, and use the Insane Stunt ramp to jump off!
With any luck, you'll land safely in the park across the street. Then, drive
like hell down the hill towards Asuka's condo, but duck into the alley, up
the ramp, and into the paintshop! This has worked for me several times. I'm
trying to figure out if there's a way to somehow use the 'down' ramp on the
northern side of the roof to somehow get over the edge and straight into the
courtyard next to the paint shop.

The Mafia limo you use for 2 missions in Portland is a special "jet black"
color. There are 4 colors: white, gray, black, and then there is a black
like the FBI cars. If you put all 4 next to each other you would agree. Some
people won't believe me about that either but I know its true because I have
the Mafia limo. Since it wont fit in Portland's garage you have to go on the
bridge, but it will be broken so turn the flying car code on than fly
across. Then put it in the Stanton garage and blow it up. The garage will
fix it.

Bulletproof Vehicles
These are a handful of vehicles you can obtain during the game that are
bulletproof. You can still blow them up by crashing them, flipping over, or
falling in water though, so watch for that. They are only bulletproof.
Some of these vehicles are also explosion proof and rocketproof.
***************************************************************************
THE BULLETPROOF PATRIOT
***************************************************************************
This is the easiest of the bulletproof vehicles to obtain. It's also the
only one you can get legally. Simply defeat the MARKED MAN mission done by
Ray in Shoreside Vale. It's only bulletproof, not explosionproof or
flameproof.
***************************************************************************
THE BULLETPROOF CHEETAH
***************************************************************************
I am most grateful to King Vinsfeld for discovering this awesome trick to
get a bulletproof Cheetah, and to the guys at the www.gamefaqs.com GTA3
messageboard who invented the best way to capture one of these beauties.
This is NO LIE!
What you must do is play the TURISMO mission in Portland, done by El Burro
on the phone in Hepburn Heights. Get a Coach, and go to the starting line,
and make sure you're facing the opposite direction from the racers. When
the race begins, head for your hideout, and block the street that goes by
your hideout. Make sure the Coach curves towards the alley. Let the
civilian cars get stacked up behind you, because it will help keep you
steady in the crash you're about to have.
Wait here until the timer gets to about 100. At about that time, the racing
Cheetahs will approach from the Hepburn Heights area, going the wrong way
down the road. Move so that one of them will collide with you, and
hopefully the driver will be forced into your hideout alley.
Now, you have to shove the Cheetah into your garage. Hopefully it will flip
over and you won't need to worry about the driver crashing into everything.
Wait until the mission ends or the car might disappear from the garage if
you push it in. Rob has also discovered that excessive use of the tank
cheat can contribute to the car disappearing. Don't worry about blowing up
the racing Cheetah because it's indestructible, except for the tank's
rammings. You might want to leave something tough like a Patriot in your
garage in case your Coach blows up while you are ramming the Cheetah. The
Patriot is excellent for ramming because it can get up to speed quickly and
can absorb much damage.
Also, don't let the Cheetah get out of your sight, or it may vanish from the
area. Try the overhead cam. After you manage to ram the Cheetah into the
garage, the driver will get "eaten" by the garage (can't think of a better
word) and the doors will be unlocked, plus the vehicle will be repaired. It
will even do this if the Cheetah is blown up or flipped. You are now the
proud owner of a bulletproof Cheetah. Enjoy! :) It's also explosion proof
and flameproof.
#######################################################################
One thing that I just discovered that no FAQ's seem to have mentioned is
that when you take an adrenaline pill you can push vehicles with your
character. I discovered this when my garage ate a cop, and I backed up onto
one of the police bribes in the hangout in Portland making my wanted level
nil. I looked over and there was another police car, which was up against
the adrenaline pill. I promptly blew up this officer and ran over to get his
gun and accidentally hit the pill and pushed his car. So I then pushed it
into the garage (on foot) and ended up with a police car.
So I followed the suggestion to use a bus to push a car into the hangout.
The BP Cheetah flipped over and I waited to the end of the race and the guy
got out. With the bus I pushed the cheetah into the hangout area, got out,
grabbed the adrenaline pill and pushed the cheetah into the garage, bingo
one cheetah. :)
The tricky part is to try and get the cheetah as close to the garage as
possible, but once you get out and push on foot it is easy. It is easier to
actually push the cars using adrenaline when they have already exploded, or
when they are actually right side up, so after the driver has exited the car
try to flip the car with the bus.

THE BULLETPROOF SECURICAR
***************************************************************************
#######################################################################
Here's the trick for a BP Securicar of your own. During the Joey's Van Heist
mission you'll follow a van, which Joey actually tells you, is bullet proof.
During the mission you damage the van until the driver runs and you steal
it.
However, don't take it to the Securicar Cracking Garage. Instead take it to
your own garage.
However, when the garage door closes the van is still in the mission and
won't yet be in your possession. So after making sure you've parked it all
the way in (I still had a corner of my tail light out but that seemed ok).
Then blow it up. Preferably in a way which doesn't knock it clear of the
garage. Mission over message will show. Then let garage door close. The van
will be repaired and it will also be bullet proof.

***************************************************************************
THE BULLETPROOF BOBCAT
***************************************************************************
Again I would like to thank all the guys at the GTA3 messageboard for coming
up with this trick to get you a nearly totally indestructible Bobcat (minus
getting rammed by a tank, or hitting too many walls.) This is one of the
trickiest of all the bulletproof vehicles to obtain IMO.
What you must do is play the mission EVIDENCE DASH by Ray. Track down the
Bobcat carrying the evidence. Hit him once to get your wanted level to two,
then get your car resprayed or something to get rid of your wanted level.
After doing that, take the Barracks OL from the Army Surplus Store (go
around behind the building by the alley if you haven't beaten ARMS SHORTAGE
yet, because the gate will be locked before you beat that mission.)
Now, what you must do is get to the Bobcat, and force it to roll over on its
roof so it can't move. After you do that, wait for a while, and the game
will say the car is a decoy, and the driver will get out. Now, flip the
Bobcat over on it's roof again, and push it back to your hideout, because
the doors will still be locked even after the guy gets out. Be quick about
it, because the Bobcat will vanish if you take too long.
After you successfully get it to your garage, you will have an almost
totally indestructible Bobcat, except for the fact a tank running over it
will still blow it up quick. The Bobcat is bulletproof, explosionproof, and
flameproof.

***************************************************************************
#######################################################################
I was going through your FAQ, particularly the bulletproof car section, and
just wanted to let you know the Barracks OL in the Arms Dealer's compound is
bulletproof as well. I discovered this as I tried to detonate it after
blocking the gate, to kill the Colombians that were stuck behind it. I
doubled checked it after sticking it in my garage in Staunton, by emptying
about twenty shotgun shells at it, point-blank. I haven't checked to see if
it's flame-retardant and blast-proof, however (didn't think of it until I
noticed the BP Bobcat and Cheetah are such).

NOTE BY THE AUTHOR: The Barracks OL at Phil's Army Surplus Store is ONLY
bulletproof during the mission ARMS SHORTAGE, so be sure to take it back to
your hideout at that time.

THE EVERYTHING-PROOF STRETCH
***************************************************************************
#######################################################################
This vehicle can be obtained in the "Salvatores called a meeting" mission
from Toni. Once you visit Toni, head to Joey's but DON'T go into the blue
field. Instead, park a vehicle near the wall on the side of the building,
then enter the speed-up cheat code twice, then run between the vehicle and
the wall, this will cause you to walk-through the wall.
Then enter the Stretch and backup into the blue field, the vehicle will
regenerate. Afterwards, drive it to your Staunton hideout by flying over the
Callahan bridge (using the CAR CAN FLY code). Head to 8-Ball's Bomb Shop,
rig the car with a timer bomb, then activate the car bomb in your garage and
leave, don't let the door shut! After the vehicle explodes, walk out letting
the door shut, so the vehicle regenerates.

I thought I'd point out to you that with the confusing directions on how to
walk through the wall in order to get the everything-proof stretch, at least
I had no idea how to do it. You can simply enter the blue area, drive out
with Joey, fly the car over the bride, rig it, and blow it up in the garage.
You fail the mission (thus killing Joey), but you still have the car. It
seems like a much less confusing way to obtain it.

When my friend came over to play GTA 3, he needed that stretch (everything
proof) so we read your part on it. After reading it we noticed what Nick
said about how confusing it was and how he just did all that other stuff. We
tried it. It didn't work. Ya it was in our garage but it wasn't everything
proof. We ended up getting killed by testing it and it blew up in our face.
Then we tried out your method after getting really mad. It worked and we
were happy and parked it in our stanton garage. Just the only reason that
Nick couldn't get it is because you don't back it up into the blue field.
Instead, you back it up into the wall and the car will go through the wall
where you will fall into a blue hole that we refered to as the "Blue Hell".
Then you will end up outside after losing 5 of your health or body armor.
The car you now have is all proof and this is the one you take to your
garage.

You can walk through the wall at Joey's without using the speed up code. I
usually use a big van, then park it almost flush against the wall, with just
a tiny amount of space between the back bumper and the wall. Then I try to
run my guy into that space and eventually he'll go through the wall. No code
necessary.

NOTE BY THE AUTHOR: This vehicle is unlike the other bulletproof vehicles
because it can't be destroyed by ANYTHING! Not even running into stuff will
blow it up, unlike the other bulletproof vehicles.
THE BULLETPROOF TRASHMASTER
NOTE: I'm not sure about this one, as I've never been able to get one. I
spent two solid hours trying to get it over the bridge with no success.
I've also heard it's not even really bulletproof once you get it to your
garage. If it is real, then it's the hardest of all the BP vehicles to
obtain. If you really want it that much, then read below:

In the mission "Blow Fish" by Toni he asks you to jack a trashmaster. Get
the trashmaster and take it to Staunton by the Dodo Car trick. But it in
your garage and arm the bomb. DONT LET THE DOOR CLOSE!!! After it explodes,
walk out and you now have a brand new BP/FP Trashmaster. It is not
explosionproof or damageproof.
