1. Take out a Minigun, Rocket Launcher or M-60 and destroy the Zebra Cab from a distance.

2. Using a Sniper Rifle or Combat Sniper rifle, snipe out the driver.

3. Drive next to him and perform a drive-by on him until the cab is destroyed.

-After the cutscene, head to the location, which is located in [[Viceport]], where you have been ordered to go.  You can take your time, as there is no time limit. Avoid damaging the car, as you need the car in top condition later in the mission.
+Get in to the marked [[Kaufman Cab]], Doris the taxi dispatcher will tell you that a [[Mercedes Cortez|Miss Cortez]] asked for a taxi. You willing volunteer to pick her.
-Upon reaching Viceport and sounding the horn to Mercedes, you will find out from Tommy that there is no sign of Mercedes. At that moment, 6 [[Vice City Cabs]] will appear. They are seeking revenge for destroying three of their taxis [[Friendly Rivalry|in the last mission]] and for stealing a fare off them [[V.I.P.|in an earlier mission]]. They will then try to ram you to death once the cutscene finishes playing. The goal for now is simple: stay alive for one minute (1 in game hour). You have four options to do to forfill that goal:
+After the cutscene finishes, you will be given the following instructions:
-Option 1:
+:;Go and pick up Mercedes
-Drive by and destroy the taxis. ONLY attempt this  option if you have either a [[Tec-9]],[[Micro-SMG]], [[Micro Uzi]], [[MAC-10]] or [[MP5]]. [[Drive-By]] all of the taxis and destroy or disable them. However, avoid getting rammed too much, as that will destory your taxi.
-Option 2:
+Drive to the marked compound in your Kaufman Cab. Once you reach the compound, you will be directed towards a pink halo in the middle of the compound. You will then be prompted to sound the horn.

You will then note that there is no sign of Mercedes, and then realize you have been set up, as six VC Cabs drivers enter the area, seeking revenge for the three cars you [[Friendly Rivalry|destroyed during the previous mission]]. You will now have to survive for a minute.
-Stand your ground. ONLY attempt this option if you have either a [[M-60]], [[Minigun]], [[Rocket Launcher]], [[Flamethrower]], [[Ruger]] or a [[M16]]. Drive to the edge of the area you are trapped in, get out of the taxi and shoot at the VC Cabs until they are destroyed and/or disabled. It you have an M-60, Ruger or a M16, crouch behind the taxi, as that will give you some degree of cover and shoot at the VC Cabs.
-Option 3:
+:;Stay alive until the timer runs out.
-Getaway Driver. Continuously drive around the compound until the timer runs out while at the same time avoiding (and/or withstanding) vicious attacks by the angry taxi drivers.

-Option 4:
+:;Take out the leader cab!
