the guides on the internet weren’t helping me - i don’t know if i have a bunk version or what but here is what i did to get the bulletproof, fireproof, explosionproof, and damageproof sabre in the “tanker commander” mission of grand theft auto: san andreas for windows, without cheats:

1. save up 40k for the house in dillimore with the garage.
2. do the witness mission for crash and get the call from cesar to go to dillimore.
3. buy the house when you get there
4. steal a tractor (semi non essential but it makes it easier) and park it in your garage
5. go meet catalina at the place she’s at
6. while she’s yakking on about what missions are available, head forward to the gas station.
7. take the “tanker commander” mission
8. get in the tanker, then hop right out.
9. go to your house on foot and grab the tractor out of your garage.
10. string catalina along by driving the tractor a few blocks toward the sabre (it is in the parking lot of the gas station with the tanker), then getting out on foot to get her to follow - make sure you don’t lose the tractor by some stroke of gta memory loss.

if you look at the sabre, you will see it is partially submerged into the pavement, which is why you can’t move it. you can’t tractor it or anything in this state.

11. blast catalina in the face with a shotgun to fail the mission.
12. shoot the sabre’s windshield and the hood - you should see it kind of pop out of the ground.
13. press 8 on the numpad to lower the hook on the tractor.
14. back the tractor up so the hook thingy is under the front of the hood of the sabre.
15. press 2 on the numpad to life the hook - the front end of the sabre should now be lifted off the ground.
16. drive the tractor with the sabre back to your garage.
17. back it in with the tractor, let the sabre go by lowering the hook, and drive away. the garage should close, and when you open it, the doors will be unlocked and you have your sabre.

you can change the colors and buy some rims for your whip and it won’t screw up the invulnerability of the car. i popped hydros on it and threw some d’s on that bitch.
