Well, when you finished the Portland Avenging Angel missions the first time, you should see the Avenger when you get to your Portland Safehouse. This is your only opportunity to get it so put it in your garage.
I know this was bumped but I'll add my reply. It's my most favorite GTA and for those that say Liberty City is bigger than Vice City, it's not. Vice City is bigger than Liberty City. I'm glad this topic starter was banned because he must not like the 80's scene. People really overreact. No swimming isn't the end of the world, it just adds another obstacle to GTA. Tommy Vercetti was the best GTA protagonist, IMO. So this GTA is definitely not a disappointment.
The Shoreside Vale safehouse is in Cedar Grove in Cartel territory. You can't save or put any vehicles in the Shoreside Vale garage yet because False Idols doesn't unlock Shoreside Vale. "Love on The Rocks" does so you're just a mission away.
I heard that Thermal Goggles were in Madd Dogg's Mansion. I went there and looked around the whole mansion and never found it. So are Thermal Goggles in Madd Dogg's Mansion and if so, what part of the mansion is it in?
Yeah, they've got spoiler tags at GTAForums and there are a lot of spoiler topics here so they'd come in handy.
So we should use these tags?
Yeah. It would be great for people that don't have the game (like me) to not get any excessive details about the game.
Some are Sunshine Autos in the north side of Viceport, the Boatyard in Vice Port, Cherry Poppers in Little Havana (on the main road, can't miss it), Kaufman Cabs in Little Haiti and I think there are a few more.
