Marty tells him it seems he's got some competition. "What do you mean?" asks Vic. "Them damn Cholos are trying to muscle in on my repo business. It's time I sent them a message."

The camera zooms out to show a grenade pickup floating and spinning around nearby. "Grenades?" exclaims Vic. "I just wanna make sure they hear what I have to say" says Marty.

Once you're back in control of Vic, the game informs you that you must destroy the Cholos' vans before they leave for work at 9:30. The mission always starts at 03:00 am so essentially it's a timed mission and you've got 6 minutes 30 seconds to complete the task. A "vans" counter is displayed on the screen - just in case you lose count of the 3 vans you need to destroy.

Each of the vans are marked with a red blip on the radar and you can go after them in any order, so pick up the grenades and grab Marty's Bobcat and set off to the North.

The first Cholo van isn't very far away, parked by a building North from Sunshine Autos in Little Havana.

There are two Cholos standing out front who will get suspicious as you approach, so you might want to run them over and take them out of the equation.

Once they're no longer a problem, get out of the car, switch to your grenades and hold Circle to throw one towards the van. Make sure you park your car on the other side of the street and stay well clear of the blast because Grenades can be quite dangerous to your health.

Once the first van is down, get back into your car and continue around the block, heading East. You'll find the second van at the end of the street, near a "Ray the Otter" billboard.

There are two armed guards standing out front once again, so you should use your vehicle as a weapon to take them out without losing any health.

Once again, get out of your car and toss a grenade at the truck, ensuring you keep your distance from the blast.

As soon as it blows, the game will display a message which says "two done... but they're on to you, look out!". Seconds later a car flies towards you with Cholos opening fire with a drive-by.

Feel free to ignore them as you speed to the North, towards the final red blip on your radar. This time they're parked near a Redwood Junior billboard.

Flatten the two guards outside, then get out of the car and toss a final grenade at the van, while avoiding the chasing Cholos. As soon as the van goes up in flames, you're done.
