No status change as of 2/26/13
I have emailed System Error several times since my original discussion and he has still not answered, the guide project must move forward.
This post is to track needed guide updates. Please PM me or reply with updates needed, I will edit as needed.

HolyGrenadeFrenzy Contacted me regarding video links and such and that project could be considered version 6.0,

below is a quicker more immediate update.
Official Update List for System Error's Special Vehicles Guide 5.2 or ?:

***Additional clarification on how to prevent cars from being lost in garages, including but not limited to -
Explain that they have an opening/trigger radius, why Doherty seems unreliable in SE's eyes and that it is no worse than any other garages if you follow the below tips.
-Do not fly over them
-Do not drive near them, Doherty being the worst because it's at an intersection and if you drive behind it or to the side it opens, Santa Maria is kind of bad too
-If you mistakenly trigger a door, STOP, rotate your camera and watch the door close, making sure your vehicles are still there, if you're too far away, back up and check! Reason why cars might get lost is because game has limited memory of what cars it sees and dumps first cars from memory when this number is reached. Standard spawn memory is 12 cars, when car 13 pops up, car 1 is forgotten so if you're going fast and the door is opened it might forget a car in the garage
Chili Dog Vendor explanation - as a general rule, things don't appear/disappear if you're looking right at them, exceptions are draw distance horizon and mission specific events
-When taking a car out or when checking on your cars, remember to watch the door/contents before leaving the zone
-Do not save a game at a Safehouse in which the door opens when you enter the house (Santa Maria, Palomino Creek, Prickle Pine, ?? Checking other locations ??).
-If you enter a safehouse that opens the door to do a wardrobe change, double check contents before leaving the area
-Possible link between jetpack and lost paintjobs, could be door open/close issue
-Notes in guide about Verdant Hangar are not accurate regarding damaged or destroyed vehicles

***Create a section probably after garages, crediting OrionSR for the work on Police Impound lots, how they work, etc... I had a glitched save, I restarted an early game and landed a dodo near the carwash in idlewood, triggered Pimping mission, visited the impound lot and there was the Dodo, so it appears to work

***Create a section about Jealous Girlfriends & their vehicles, credit to our friend OrionSR again. no need to rush this at all. Early progress? Denise on food date-Palomino Creek Pizza Joint/Ammunation trick.

***Create a notation early on indicating the reader should read the section about Jealous Girlfriends with a warning about post-Burning Desire

***Some of us don't like to replace weapons we've built up, Mention that in missions such as Black project that suicide item could even be another car, damage it enough to where it catches fire then get in it. Mission such as Cutthroat business, want a fire source? Shoot gas tank of vehicle you drive there instead of getting a Flamethrower!

***Under Caring for your vehicles section, there is no "maybe," accepting Coffee on a date removes special properties of vehicles

***Parachute damage/melee attacks damage vehicles that normally cannot be.

**5.16: Bulletproof/Fireproof/Explosionproof/Damageproof Sentinel, OrionSR said he explained his method better but it was cut out, I personally had problem with it because it was cut. Need to do enough damage to vehicle before Sweet dies, he suggested a drive-by on the car as there's no reload issue, when I tried it this way it was a tossup of my car being destroyed or sweet dying or the sabre being ready for me to get in, I also tried it with a minigun and it was much easier, if not into cheating need to either get minigun under 4 stars or during reuniting families mission. Mention after Los Sepulcros that player might want to get Minigun during Reuniting Families mission
**5.16B - Easier to get Sabre here too than on Tanker Commander

**5.25: Bulletproof/Fireproof/Explosionproof Elegy is also Meleeproof-Same as method 4 for Fortune, dunk in water around first checkpoint

**5.30A: Bulletproof/Fireproof/Explosionproof Patriot is also Meleeproof. GSF can be killed in this mission, run his ass over. Using a Sanchez to rob Big Smoke's Cash is easier anyway due to its traction and the ability to track quicker to run GSF over when he tries to jump out of way. This mission unlocks after 3 of Catalina's robbery missions, no need to wait for SF. Just wait for call Monday 5:00AM

**Rare Vehicle Alert - Phoenix - A Home in the Hills. Should you not want to fail a racing mission you can push/shoot this car to a garage once you waste Big Poppa. I have _NEVER_ seen this car on the streets, not during vigilante, not even when the Vagos exist, worthy of mention.

**Unobtainable BP/FP/EP/DP Elegants? (Management Issues) - What cars? When are they proofed/normal? Someone posted this but I can't find the post.

**Unobtainable BP/FP/EP/DP Leviathan (Up, Up and Away!)

**Unobtainable UCC Yellow Forklift (Breaking the Bank at Caligula's) Diego says it's at Heaven-level, maybe impound lot? WHY? Useless turd but still mentionable.

**Disputable Properties of Greenwood in Reuniting the Families - simply autofixes itself?

**Emperor in Wear Flowers In Your Hair - Simply higher Eng. Str

**Disputable Properties of Tanker in Highjack - behaves crashproof

**Disputable Properties of Kart in Cutthroat Business - behaves crashproof

**Unobtainable Trophy RC Baron - Not driveable but still stores in garage as a vehicle, will do more research. Are there two versions or is that mission specific. Air Raid they are bombers but during Supply Lines or Beefy Baron they got machine gun. Notice them building up during Air Raid? Shoot carcass of one to a garage?

Regarding the BP/FP/EP/DP Sanchez(Wrong side of the tracks), i prefer the Glen park pond to dip the Sanchez. Very easy to retrieve, having dual-wield sawn off shotguns also come in handy making the task much more simpler.

6.10: Black Maverick (Interdiction) Previous post, Zmoonchild discovered way to obtain. Although minigun is preferred, key is to damage chopper quickly enough to ground it. My modified method was to use minigun to damage it then SMG or M4 to slightly damage more, another short minigun burst often times destroyed chopper

Thanks, but I can’t take all of the credit. I did figure out that the black Mavericks could be lured to the ground by lightly shooting them with the Minigun, but it was jnsg’s idea to use a Towtruck to tow it to a garage.

Neither jnsg nor myself could figure out how to do obtain the black Maverick on our own, but once we put our ideas together, we were able to obtain it.

Also, jnsg obtained the black Maverick first, but he failed the mission by doing it. After that I was able to figure out how to obtain it and still pass the mission.

Please make sure to give jnsg credit.

Also, The RC Cam is some vehicle worth mentioning...

[Krawk]

Black Maverick Credit modified... how do you pass the mission after getting one?
I assume you saw my write up on this in the other thread, because the minigun shoots so fast it is sometimes hard to gauge how many rounds are needed, very easy to destroy the chopper and get 2 stars, so I suggested minigun until the sound of the chopper changes then use an M4 or such, couple more little shots to ground it.

Mendez, where is the RC cam?

I am assuming that this vehicle is proofed until you enter the marker at Smoke's house, that being the case then yes, Glen park would be considered the absolute easiest.

As I said, it's un-obtainable... You need a cheating device like ARMax (for PS2, and I owe it), or a mod/trainer that spawns vehicles (PC) in order to get it... If you take a look at Glenster's guide for SA, you can see a picture for it, and get most of it's info from there...

Even if there were flower-pots anywhere in SA, I don't think they're RC Cams... They're
ordinary ones... Plus the RC Cam is a tad strange...

[OrionSR]

When I added a spawn point for an RC Cam on PS2 v1 the game consistently crashed every time I tried to enter the vehicle. It works fine on PC, but I'm not sure about PS2 v2.

You need to put the "No Doors on Cars" cheat device code in order to enter it without freezing. That's why it crashes, is because it has doors...

If you're lazy to get to the "Updated Special Vehicle Guide" for this, then this is :

-------------
RC Cam
-------------
Mission : None
Location : Nowhere
Character : Nobody

It's not an RC vehicle like the Baron and Goblin... It's a strange flowerpot...
On PC (from Glenster's), you can open an invisible door to enter it... On PS2,
however, entering it will cause the game to crash... To enter it without crashing,
you need a second code : No Doors on Cars. This code will still make the doors visible,
although you can enter vehicles the same way as entering any spawned Andromada (entering without opening door. When Triangle is pressed, you Just get inside the non-solid door and sit in there without closing it... I think you can get busted by just the cop pointing his gun at the door, nothing else. It won't make a Rhino harder to open for the cops, but easier (I think)...).
When entered, you take control of an invisible steering wheel... It's shadow is square,
but the flowerpot is circular... It's handling is much worse than the handling of the Vortex...
It's solid to weapons, but not solid to cars (when driving it to any car, you can see the interior of the car, and also the driver if the car is low enough to see in 1st. Person View).
However, it's like a hovercraft that came from the future... But why it existed in SA? I dunno... One can tell me, "is this was the previous 'Black Project'?"?
You can fetch it with a cheating device, and the "No Doors on Cars" code if you'd like.

------------------------
Why you can't get it
------------------------

Pretty much the same as the FBI Truck, you can't touch it without a cheating device...
For me, it was going to be the previous "Black Project", because it's really something
more weirder than a JetPack... Because of it's total weirdness, it didn't make it to the game... That's the weirdest single thing in SA...

Yep, sounds cool, but I haven’t tried it.

[Diego "DM" Mendez]

I advise people to see this latest page of the topic about the Proofed Cars from Jealous Girlfriends... Guess what's unusual there... Yep, System Error is back to the party!

[System Error]

Indeed I am. Been a while, and something like this is just the thing I was looking for. A few things...

- I did mention quite a bit of the unreliability in the guide. It's just that it's so inconvenient to deal with Doherty all the time, to the point where it's not really worth it.
- I put down the BP/FP/EP Savanna, BP/FP/EP Fortune, BP/FP/EP Elegy, and BP Walton are meleeproof...anyone wanna double-check?
- What's this about the impound lots?

Yes. As best as I can tell from the game scripts, it looks like those three vehicles are melee proof. Here's a list I compiled of the various proof vehicles I could find in the script.

[DarrinPA]

Perhaps I didn't look close enough but why isn't the Combine Harvester mentioned as being proofed when you have to steal it for The Truth? Maybe it's only on Xbox but I'm sure it's Bullet Poof - BP.

[OrionSR]

I checked again and couldn't find any proofs applied to the Body Harvest combine. Perhaps the combines get some proofing applied by the engine, like the tanks do, but I doubt it. It's more likely that the 9000 health applied to that vehicle masks the damage of your attacks.

Simply, bring a modded car, let's say to color combinations... Or bring the Mothership to work...

Go to the bike school in LV, park the Mothership beside the school, and go and activate a test, then do whatever you want in it... Now, get out and get one of the bikes parked outside, then head to the Impound lot in LV (which is in Emerald Isle, I think). Kill every police man there, preferably with the silenced pistol, and don't get in when you have a star.. Just wait till it goes off... Go deeper to the impound lot, to find out that your Mothership parked there...

Simple, huh? Don't be afraid from the policemen, they behave differently than those normal ones. They wait for a delay with their guns pointed at you, call for backup, then you get 3 stars.. Nothing else... I don't know if proofings will be kept this way, but cool...

You can try it with a modded normal car if you'd like...

[laezy]

DREVIL919 had pointed in this post of his in the Chain game lounge that the Proofed cars acquired from jealous girlfriends were undamaged in spite of being hit by Rhino tanks. So i went ahead and did some testing with BP cars from my own 100% save game in which i had collected some of these special vehicles. What i found was that, cars having Damage proof properties(BP/FP/EP/DP) including the FP/EP/DP Rancher from Lure, were immune to Rhino attacks, while BP/FP/EP but not DP (like the ELegy from WuZiMu) cars were not. So can we infer that,

BP/EP/FP/DP = Immune to both crashing and cannon fire of Rhino tank
BP/EP/FP = Vulnerable to Rhino crash but immune to Cannon fire.

DREVIL919 had pointed in this post of  his in the Chain game lounge that the Proofed cars acquired from jealous girlfriends were undamaged in spite of being hit by Rhino tanks. So i went ahead and did some testing with BP cars from my own 100% save game in which i had collected some of these special vehicles.  What i found was that, cars having  Damage proof properties(BP/FP/EP/DP) including the FP/EP/DP Rancher from Lure, were immune to Rhino attacks, while BP/FP/EP but not DP (like the ELegy from WuZiMu) cars were not. So can we infer that, BP/EP/FP/DP = Immune to both crashing and cannon fire of Rhino tank BP/EP/FP = Vulnerable to Rhino crash but immune to Cannon fire.

That is true. I just have taken proofed Tampa for the spin, bumped dozen Rhinos and no damage at all. Every guide insisted that no car is rhinoproof, so I have never tried it before.

Here's a list I compiled of the various proof vehicles I could find in the script. I've got no idea how, if, or when these codes are actually implement. I just searched for the immunity codes and tried to identify which vehicle was proofed.

Nice list.

Are you sure, that you have not overlooked Waltons from mission Don Peyote? These seemd to be resistant to everything, even to destroy all cars cheat.

It's simply that a DP vehicle is Rhinoproof that's why it's DP. An EP one is only explosive abuse protected, but not on repeated physical (non-explosive contact) abuse.

Immunities are not applied during Don Peyote. Perhaps this code is protecting the Waltons: 03F5: set_car 79@ apply_damage_rules 0

Be sure to take the proofing list with a grain of salt. It's often very difficult to figure out what the scripts are doing so there is liable to be some inconsistencies. There's a very good chance that some code are never implemented, only active during particular parts of the mission, or are active so briefly that you'll never get your hands on the car before it gets unproofed.

And if you are all that curious about it then download Sanny Builder and decompile your own scripts. You can even decompile PS2 scripts - although it's difficult to do anything with them other than look around.
