Many people prefer to add a vehicle to a replacement, simply because it allows them to have more vehicles, and installation is simpler and quicker.

I'm only showing the basics, so as not to complicate the tutorial and simply have a functional vehicle. I'm not talking about tuning parts, as this complicates things quite a bit. I'm also skipping the details, as you can change a lot of things: the color of the lights, the color of the exhaust smoke, the weapons you get when you enter the vehicle, the color of the appearance, the neighborhoods in which it appears, at what times and with which NPC at the wheel... etc....
