An ice-cream van

When first seeing it, I thought that it was a pure fiction (we don't have such "busty beauties" on wheels), but then, right the next day, I watched "Assault on Precinct 13" and there a guy was selling ice-cream from a van (what a coincidence!). The question is: do you in America still have such ice-cream vans, which sell ice-cream only when the music plays? It's funny to see how people of VC are rushing to the van to get their ice-cream: some of them are falling victims of the passing-by cars while the others are running after the van when you start it during the play of that sweet melody (e.g. to escape VC policemen). By the way, why are the guys in uniform so negative to Mr Tommy's ice-cream business (when he does not kill anybody but just sells ice-cream)? Has he forgotten to get the license for this type of job or what?

What do you know? Are there such vans running about in the place where you live?

Thanks and regards

Well, that's just it, Tommy isn't selling ice cream. The ice cream business is a cover for selling drugs, cocaine I believe(can't remember, it's been awhile since I played last).

Lol,what a dumbass,it isn't ice cream what Tommy is selling,it is cocaine and that's why peds go so crazy about it.

I would love to see an ice cream van with huge hooters on the top in real life.

Thanks a lot, smartass. I really thought that sometimes Tommy could be just a good guy selling ice cream on a hot summer day - a soothing piece of job after a slaughter...

I've always thought it was a reference to Cheech and Chong, (Nice Dreams) where they sold drugs out of a ice cream van...

I wouldn't be surprised, I live in such a dodgy area.

btw you do realise he's selling drugs, not ice-cream right?

As I put it earlier, I had thought that sometimes Tommy could be just a good guy selling ice cream on a hot summer day (like being a taxi diver, a fire fighter, a vigilante, or a paramedic driver), though of course that old shrieking hag (saying something about "front" and exercising her hatred towards little children) did make me suspicious... Still, that's the problem: Vice City does not have children in the streets. A big fault for a revolutionary game that has ice cream vans running down the streets.

For my town having an ice cream van running about in the streets is very unnatural.

There never have been any children in GTA games. It is obvious why, since you actually could shoot them, ride over them with your car etcetera... Can you imagine the commotion? Vice City would be banned by many countries (with the US as first).
