Now of course you can read it (unless you are an illiterate), Now you can see the cars names and the groups names so lets say I want to change groves (aka the FAMILIES) cars,

greenwoo, savanna, voodoo            # Gang 2 (FAMILIES - PLAYER - BLACK)

Now I would change the greenwoo, savanna, voodoo to the cars that I want, Lets say I want the pcj600, fcr900, bf400 I would delete the past text and add in the new cars making it

pcj600, fcr900, bf400            # Gang 2 (FAMILIES - PLAYER - BLACK)

Make sure you have the names right before you type them in, Seeing as adding in a wrong name will just freeze the game.

Now the groups labled:

# Cheat1 (shit cars)
# Cheat2 (fast cars)
# Cheat3 (ninja)
# Cheat4 (funhouse)

Are obviosly the cheats that were released, Now you can change the cars that are spawned when you do that. So you can even create your own theme, How about an all plane theme , Also just for you to know. The planes drive on the ground and do not take off, They do however crash into each other alot.

Here is a picture of the "hydra theme"


Now something else you should know, Police, ambulance's and firetruck's FREEZE the game.

If you have any questions feel free to let me know and I will respond a.s.a.p.
