"Damn, how could I wreck this Infernus I picked all the way from Las Venturas, I escaped from that police chase without a scratch and then I crash it here? I'm not going back there, good thing it's still drivable, I'll just roll until I find a flashy car for CJ and just tell him it's from Las Venturas. He'll change the numbers and repaint it anyway."
"A Turismo, you don't see one in LS every day, wait for the redlight ... your hands where I can see them, get out slowly and don't do anything stupid."
"You picked the wrong car fool!"
lame reference? I don't intend the story to be funny, but starting funny and getting serious would work.
so Smoke is poor but likewise he stole a car from LV for status, to impress the Ballas, tell them stories of how he succeeded outside and acquired new connections, he'll drive the Grove Street homie (they recognized eachother) to San Fierro looking for another car to steal and tell his story.
