On the Brucie note I just did the mission where you get Steve's race car and it is really nice.
Is there a way to save cars, this early on? I am driving it everywhere, but I know eventually there will be a "get out of your car and onto a bike/run 40 miles on foot" mission and I will lose it
.
There should be a yellow rectangle labeled something like "Residential Parking Only" outside your safe house where you can save your car if you leave the car parked in it. I'm not sure if the 1st safe house has one but the 2nd and up should have them.
Also... has anyone else had this problem:
I've been playing the PS3 version of GTA IV without any major problems so far. I have saved like probably around 14+ hours of game play. I had to work like all day today, so my brother then decided to play GTA IV but for whatever reason he decided to start a new game on a new PS3 profile (I guess he didn't want to fuck with my save files). He plays up to and beats the mission "It's your call", my last game mission I beat was (and what should have been my game save file ) "A long way to fall". When I get home from work I turn the game on and it's already logged onto my PS3 profile and I loaded up GTA IV. I let the game get past all it's loading screens and stuff and when it gets to the part where it says "Loading - (your mission here)" it says on it "Loading - It's your call" instead of my file... It's basically trying to load my brother's profile save game which doesn't exist on my profile. Anyways it gets stuck at the loading screen so I hit the PS3 button and quit game. Restart the game and it loads the correct file this time but it's still stuck at the loading screen....
EDIT: oh snap I totally forgot I could copy the files from one profile to another. Anyways it works now, I just transferred all of my files from one profile to the next and it worked. Oh man I was totally freaking out lol.

EDIT #2: Okay it finally works 100% I think... I had to sign out of Playstation Network log into the game, let my file load up properly, then I quit the game, signed back into PSN and now it works while signed into PSN. Really bothersome... but whatever... I guess.
