I agree with TT

Sachmo.. if you can't find anything fun in the game to do, you're playing the wrong game I still play on GTA III from time to time (although at the momen San Andreas has my full concentration )

I love this game, and the playing area really is so huge that i have to pause and look at the map a lot of the time ops: I guess i will know the streets better when i have played it for longer.

Meanwhile.... driving an 18-wheeler is very tricky .... definitely a skill i am planning to hone

Holy Crap I just realized that my car is in this game!
needless to say I have one in one of my garages.
I won 1.5 million dollars playing that Inside Track Betting so I bought like 5 houses and tons of clothes and custom cars. I can only find 2 custom shops on the first Island though.
I want to get to San Fiero I just finished the first race for Cesar and still can't get past that damn dancing on the beach mission.

there is a custom shop in the city near the mock Hollywood sign right next to a pay and spray that customizes everything but bikes I had a bright red limo with hydraulics dropped to the ground. You can add offroad lights and brush guards to trucks then use the hydraulics to lift it. Sadly you can do it with bikes or I would have nitrous on my bike.

well do you know where the sign is?

If you get out your map and look for Mullholland you will see the wrench symbol.
Head over there in the game and when you ge to the pay and spray there will be a closed garage door next to it that say's trans somethingif you pull up to it, it should open It was unlocked when the other one got unlocked to my knowledge.

Finally able to play a little and although I have the wrench icon there, I can't enter it.. I tried with both regular or lowrider cars and no luck so far.. I guess I need to do a couple more missions now

I didnt see it listed so heres how u get it

2 Players Mode

Here and there it exist secret 2-Players icons (there are two heads on it).
Go near it, and it will ask you to connect an extra controller in the second
controller port. It exist Rampage and Free Roam-icons, and you can play some
minigames together, like pool. In Rampage you and your friend usually just
kill some peds in a limited time period. In Free Roam, you walk around and
just have fun.
But the 2 Player Mode is limited to no missions at all and you must both stay
on the same screen.
You often find a 2P-icon near your girlfriends houses when you have got a
specific % with that girl.


**********************
*Free Roam Los Santos*
**********************

In NorthEast Idlewood. About 2 Blocks North of the Tattooist Place,
just south of the highway, there is an open building with fences around it,
and a sort of archway door. Go in there and there it is, a red icon with two
people on it. You don't have to have done anything to get it.

BTW, as already posted by T-Bird, I strongly suggest some horse betting activity as soon as you need some cash in some minutes you should be able to rack up some millions if you are lucky. I bet usually on one of the worst two horses 9-1 to 12-1..
it can be usefull at least to stock a little bit on weapons and most important, to buy some more cribs

As for my progress in the game.. kinda scarce finally I left Los Santos and I am for now stuck in the outskirts (south-west) wich are absolutely stunningly big and great fun to roam around!

Oh yes, I also did the Pimping side quest already so now whores have to pay me if they want to blow me
