MISSION NOTE #1
There are no Gold requirements for this mission.
This mission is available after completing the Meltdown mission. Michael will receive a call from Jimmy who's been kidnapped by an Internet cyber-stalker.
If you accept Jimmy's plea for a rescue, get in your car and drive up to the waypoint all the way up Banham Canyon to find the SUV that has Jimmy in the backseat.
Smash into the SUV and ram it off the road. Avoid any weapons and just keep trying to push it off the road and the kidnapper will get scared and stop his car and then run away.
On Next-gen versions, using drive-bys on the car will automatically make the kidnappers stop and run away.
With the kidnappers gone, take Jimmy back to the house to complete the mission.
MISSION NOTE #3: USING YOUR OWN CAR
Regardless of what vehicle you drove to save Jimmy from his captors, you are required to use the captor's smashed-up SUV to drive Jimmy home. If you prefer to use your own car instead of the captor's SUV, shoot one of the escaping captors (wait for them to abandon the car) to fail the mission. When the mission reloads, Jimmy and Mike will automatically be sitting inside the car you were using for the rescue.
NEXT-GEN UPDATE: Jimmy will enter any car that Michael brings after he saves him, so there's no need to do the method above.
