Get the GXT Editor (google it). Now go into your GTA:SA directory and find your American.txt file. Then Extract it and untick the "read only" box. Finally Open it up with your GXT editor and Find ther name of the car and change it then save and put it back in the game folder. BUT DON'T RE-TICK "READ ONLY" BOX!

Right click the folder for GTA & go to PROPERTIES, it's at the bottom of the window.

I think the GXT editor goes into the same folder as GTASA.EXE, I think RaDi0N would know this as most of my GXT experience is in Vice City (I do that one in my sleep).

OK

1st problem answer: Extract it to somewhere easy to find. i.e. My documents or your desktop

2nd problem answer: Right Click on and select "properties" from the list that comes up then untick the read only box on the window that should appear.

3rd problem answer: Hit F2 (i think , or just go upto "edit" and select "find") then type in the origional car name e.g. Sultan, Uranus, Infernus, Mesa, Sandking, Admiral. Then change it, save and quit, then put it back where you 1st got it from BUT DON'T RE-TICK READONLY.!
