i dont know if anyone else has come up with this idea, cuz im too lazy to read through ten pages of posts, but:
since mta0.2.2 has established a way to make money by doing a trick, there should be a mode that allows you to use this income.
some examples:
-buy weapons
-buy cars/bikes/heli/boats
-buy prostitutes to enhance health/armor beyond the "100" limit.
or wutever else. seem like a good idea to me, but i could be just as rong as i think im right. its up to you to make that decision.
by the way, great job with the improvements with 0.2.2
