  1. For what it's worth, I just looked at X-box live marketplace, nothing yet.
  2. It happened about 6 months after I bought the truck, never had the wheel off before that. Having a wheel pass you at 70 MPH, now that's quality entertainment!
  3. It's been a couple months since I played, but on PS2, I think the same button that starts/stops ambulance/police/etc should end your empire missions.
  4. Take a minute & look at the tutorials at the top of the VC Modding page. If you're still hung up, we'll see what we can do. Since you took the time to put in an avatar pic, hit the "introduce yourself" topic & say hello. http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.ph...&start=1840 Welcome to the forum.
  5. Technically, you need protein from meat to grow properly. Once you body matures, you can do vegan or vegetarian diet. Your mind also works a little better w/ the protein but a proper vegan/vegetarian diet covers most of this & the human body adjusts. Most of the "vegetarians" I've known are just trying to make a political statement & couldn't tell you the first thing about nutrition or give an intelligent answer as to why meat was bad, they just saw it on the TV or something like that. There was one exception, a relatively intelligent guy we'll call Dave. He had an honest moral objection to killing an animal to eat it. He's also the only person I know of that ever ran over a skunk and felt so bad he took it home to nurse it back to health. He lived out of town & was on the way home, driving his wife's car. He hit the skunk about 10 miles from home, knocked it cold. So he got out, wrapped it in a blanket & put it in the back seat. It woke up 5 miles from home. The short version is that Dave's wife took his conversion van & told him to enjoy "his" new car. I'm a meat eater, myself. Although I do enjoy steamed veggies to go w/ it. And for the record, I have no respect for "trophy" hunters. If you go to the trouble to hunt down & kill something, you'd best be taking the meat. Once you're an adult, it's your decision.

    Probably a glitch in one of the mods or a script mod. Check out the tutorials at the top of the modding section. Try installing them one at a time & backup all affected files after you confirm each works. If this comes up as a double post, apologies. the system ate my first one.
  7. Keep us posted & good luck.
  8. I presume you have the Stamped 10 hole wheels. Call your dealer & see if there is an open recall because of the lugnuts
  9. Sound's like Alistair's local PD is running WRXs to catch speeders. Bear in mind that P&S has never served emergency vehicles (GTA3-VCS), so the size is irrelevant.
  10. Formula 51, not a comedy but funny as hell, worth picking up.
  11. Got a pic? My F-150 had a problem like that, the studs for the Rear Left sheared off (doing 70 on I-29 in KC, real fun). I'm just glad i found the wheel & the 10.5x31-15. NUTS! (all pun intended) Look at the 2nd entry in this link - http://www.automallusa.net/1987/ford/f-150/recalls.html Hope it helps.
  12. That is the root of my problem w/ MS. Are you aware I've been using computers since DOS 3.3 was new? There's a history behind my dislike of MS. I think we've tied this up enough. I also hope they get Vista sorted before we have to "upgrade". Back to topic.
  13. Would really like to see the Springfield & the Garand.
  14. ps3 player - What changed your mind. If you don't recognize the quote, it was something said after I posted that X-box live mentioned an up coming demo.
  15. 3 good things about Mac... It's not MS, that alone should count as 3. They never sold me a defective product (before you say anything, two words - Service Pack) If software is sold as Mac, it works w/ Mac. Too many times, I've had to hunt down updated drivers to run a piece of windows software. I've had games that worked w/ 98 & won't w/ XP. I've never wanted to set fire to a Mac & throw it out my window. Mac wasn't the point of my previous post, my point was that in the near future, we'll probably have no choice but to start running Vista. You can't tell me you like that prospect (chris82). And if you "Never" had a problem w/ XP, congratulations, you're in an exclusive club. Funny cartoon BTW.
  16. You kids & your rap music! Seriously though, getting in the business has more to do w/ luck & a lot less w/ talent. Still, good luck. I never thought I'd wind up being a state contractor working w/ a handicapped kid, but it's not so bad. Set my own hours, work ten feet from my computer (that's why I'm here a lot) & get paid to drive around in my 'Stang to do errands.
  17. Stopped in to say hello, so hello!

  18. A lot of this just looks like a re-hash of what was said when XP came out. Now here we are years later, & it finally seems to work, just on time to get rid of it & throw a bunch of money at MS's next bright idea. The only reason I even have XP is for games that wouldn't support 98SE. When I was running 98, I didn't have 1/10 the software problems I had w/ XP. All my games worked, It didn't fight w/ non MS software (like Norton) & my system never got fubared by viruses. So far the best one to take down my machine was "F***MEDUDE", it embedded itself (I think in the Windows Pre-Loader(?)) & wiped my video drivers & profile settings. I had to do a complete wipe & re-load to fix it. I've done this a lot since I "upgraded" to XP. Now MS wants me to do it all over again so they can sell Vista. Meanwhile, the people I know running Macs are just smiling. I know the whole point of MS is to make money, but DAMN! They're just being greedy & that's why I give MS as a whole one big fail.
  19. You plan on working there too? You could do a lot worse. US cars have speed limiters too, set according to the speed rating of OEM tires. My 'Stang has OBD II (standard for '96 & up in US), so if I get the tuning software (around $400, US) I can reset or shut off completely. In my younger days I had a '72 Mach1 that topped out at 150 MPH, with points & a carb, no rev-limiter. Ever suck a valve at 130 MPH? Couldn't get anyone to come get the car, (no $$$ for a towtruck), had to drive 30 miles back to town that way. Sounded like an old John Deer tractor on nitromethane at 70. So if you have the $$$ for a BMW or Mercedes, spend a couple extra bucks for AAA or tow-in insurance.
  20. I'd like to see an "underground" P&S, where you could fix a police car or ambulance when you're doing side work. Since you're dealing w/ a really hot car, it'll cost more. Maybe it opens up after you complete Fire/Paramedic/Vigilante missions.
  21. From what I've seen, your sense of humor is just really active. I think that's a good thing. The fact that you're asking in the first place says at heart you're a decent person. You make mistakes, you learn from them, you move on. Your parents think in ways you don't yet understand, but they care about you. When you have kids, you'll understand this better. Huck's brother needs to get over himself, especially if he's not your guardian. Most of you guys are at the point in life where you start to assert yourself. Your parents see this as rebellion & it's conflict. Look at it from their side for a minute. And don't be afraid to ask their advice, they might surprise you. I used to think my dad was a tool. Then I heard about him & my uncle knocking over out houses for Halloween when they were kids. No, I don't think you're such a "hooligan". God, that word's older than I AM!
  22. I think Linux GTA is the Holy Grail for some of us. A little competition wouldn't hurt MS.
  23. I presume you mean target lock w/ weapons. It should work just fine. Look in your OPTIONS & see if your set for CLASSIC or MOUSE & KEYBOARD. As I recall, M&K gives you more precise aim but no target lock. I use it for the minigun & shooting range. Are you using a controller (if not, you might not get the CLASSIC option, not sure)? If not, try a PS2 style controller, they make driving a breeze in GTA. Good luck.
