This opcode sets the gang's preferred vehicle to drive in. The opcode is used after the gang is allowed to spawn in vehicles using opcode 0152 so this opcode is useless by itself. Only one gang car can be used for one gang. If more than one gang is assigned to one vehicle, the first assigned gang will be used. If more than one vehicle is assigned to a gang, the last assigned vehicle will be used. If the vehicle is hardcoded to be assigned to a ped (e.g. taxi drivers in taxis), it will not spawn the gang member but will spawn the assigned ped instead. A few vehicles, like the Barracks OL, have ped models not normally loaded into the game and could crash the game. One solution is to stream the model of the ped. The value set with this opcode is saved in block 13 of the save file in Vice City.
