The game was easy enough without it anyway.
The vehicle i was using the majority of the game was the "fantasista" if i was going with a custom built, but i actually used McClouds car the most overall. The one that I've been using recently was called.. "Moon Spider Z" I believe, very unique turning on that thing, i loved it.
I would go check, but a friend of mine is borrowing my cube at the moment.
