Yeah, I took care of him. I did it the obvious way - sprinted over to his ass, blew him away, took his getaway car and broke records for "getting the fuck away".
I've actually gotten a lot of missions done for Joey, but I pretty much skipped that goddamn laundromat truck one because it was fucking me up so bad.
One of my favorites was the getaway with the body in the trunk. I knew something was gonna be up ('cause they wouldn't put that simple a mission at that point in the game), but I wasn't sure what. When I saw a guy in the car sitting in the parking lot I figured he was a baddie. So, I parked my car in front of him, grabbed the car with the body and tried to make my getaway. I didn't make it the first two times, but on the second one I managed to find a way to lose the dudes following you every time, guaranteed (or at least it worked for me the two times I tried it). Go up that grass bit on the left and just fucking ramp, but kinda hit it on the right. They'll hit it on the right too and wreck their car, but you go left and then just haul ass across all the medians and whatnot.
Yeah, I didn't win the first el Burro mission, which was that first race. I had a Diablo car (hehe), but it fuckin' sucked ass. My current favorite is the Mafia Sentinel, but those are a bitch to get and it's hard to keep them in a decent condition after you do ('cause you're getting rammed by other mafia dudes). Ugh. Still, it's a pretty slick car all around.
Where can I pick up a Fire Truck? Man, I love taxi-ing. Hehe.
