A Drive Around Los Santos

Shortly after I got San Andreas for the PC I posted my first impressions with a few screenshots from the beginning of the game. I’ve had a chance to get a good number of hours into the game now, but the game is so immersive that I haven’t even been able to get out of the first city yet. I decided to
