Okay I've implemented the 2nd one of those tables. None of the vehicles have links yet, and the lists are not yet alphabeticalised. Also need to make sure all SAVehicles are actually listed and spelt correctly.[[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 22:59, 7 May 2007 (BST)

--[[User:Saintsrow2fan2010|Saintsrow2fan2010]] 02:17, July 6, 2010 (UTC) Do we need the tram on the table because you can never obtain it so it is only a texture. Where is the Jetpack or the Parachute

hey got some ideas you might like:
1. add a new category of vehicle types, and give the name: Trailers.
and add [[Utility Trailer]] and [[Tractor Trailer]] to it.
2. and add [[RC Cam]] to RC Vehicles

::Hmm, the Flash ''could'' go into '''2 Door''', but that's already crowded enough as it is unless we can make the columns longer (I'm not sure how and I'd rather not mess it up trying to find out), and I think the Flash is sufficiently fast and sleek to be counted as a sports car, especially considering it's one of the Wheel Arch Angels crowd, same goes with the rest. Following that train of thought, though, perhaps we could create a new category, '''Tuners''', for those cars?

How about creating a ''Sport Coupe'' subcategorization, since it seems that cars like the [[Elegy]], which do not necessarily fall into either the ''Sports Car'' or ''Muscle Car'' designations, are better defined as 2-door sport coupes, since they are ''not'' 2-seaters like the sports cars, but do not have the engine to be classified as muscle cars. This idea could then be applied to the creation of a ''Sport Sedan'' subcategory for cars such as the [[Sultan]]. What does everyone think?

:Smells of overcategorization to me, I'm afraid. I don't see the sense in creating two new categories ('''Sport Coupe''' and '''Sport Sedan''') for vehicles that could more easily fit into one category '''Tuners''', especially since ''Sport Sedan'' would only contain <u>one car</u>. I think we should just can '''Muscle Cars''' as it's a very subjective term and the line between it and 2 Doors is a very blurred one indeed. The Sabre and the Clover are considered muscle cars, but the Stallion isn't?

:Creating a new category, '''Tuners''', for the vehicles that can be modified at Wheel Arch Angels (vehicles which are generally higher performance than regular passenger cars but still not quite sports cars) makes the most sense, I think, and is more consistent with the thinking behind the '''Lowriders''' category, which is exclusively for vehicles that can be modified at Loco Low Co (hence the reason the Tahoma is listed there and not in 4 Door). --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 05:36, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

::Heh, point well taken. What you suggested makes sense. I also agree with you that the category ''Muscle Cars'' is defunct, as '''1)''' no one other than Americans (and maybe Aussies) use the term in any meaningful way, and '''2)''' there are cars in there that hardly fit the standards for qualifying as a mucle car, specifically the [[Elegy]], [[Flash]], [[Sultan]], [[Uranus]], and [[Jester]], leaving only a few entries. These I think should just be partitioned into their body type category, i.e. 2-door, etc. And as far as ''Sports Cars'' are concerned, as far as I understand the term, it refers to high performance 2-seaters, which excludes the [[Buffalo]] (and maybe the [[Phoenix]]?), so I would be cautious as to what I put in there.

Get rid of the tram [[User:Saintsrow2fan2010|Saintsrow2fan2010]] 02:19, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
If the [[Tram]] is passing as a vehicle, whty don't add the [[LHD-069]] and [[USS Numnutz]].
Those aren't vehicles, and quit adding them in. --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] <sup>[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk]]</sup> 10:12, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Combine Planes & Helicopters to Aircraft and Include Brown Streak, Freight and Tram into a Trains Column
==Bikes and Pushbikes==
The Bikes and Pushbikes should be in seperate colums
==Spawning Locations & Days Page==
I want to compile a chart basically containing the best when and where to find any specific car.
:I will make it's own page so not to add more clutter here, just wanted to discuss options here before i create a page and leave it empty...
As I've been adding vehicle locations on some of the rarer ones, I've noticed not only is spawning based on what you are driving, but also what day of the week it is.
:I emailed Rockstar to see if i could get a list from the programmers, but no luck.
I'll start it as a MS word doc, but I'll need help on how to put a big chart onto the site. A-Z every vehicle, what can be seen while driving it when and where. Sonmething like this i guess:
{| class="wikitable" style="vertical-align: top"
|'''While driving this'''
|'''spawns this Sunday'''
|'''spawns this Monday'''
|'''Tuesday...'''

*[[Tornado]] ([[Los_Santos_Vagos|Vagos turf]])

|} All suggestions welcome. I could also just do small charts like that on each vehicles page under location. Make a more defined way to find a vehicle you are looking for.
Also, once its up, Its going to be a lot of blanks to fill in, so help would be appreciated.
I started a chart for driving [[Perennial]] sat in one location for 1 whole week. I'll be putting that up on its talk page, maybe make some sense of it from there. Some vehicles always show with it, some only certain days, and some only certain time of day.
