What's the point of vehicles ? (other than cargo space)

Every time you get a vehicle, you can use that vehicle on the mission you get it, any other time you take a vehicle to a mission, it doens't show up until you finish the map and leave the area.. and even during those missions the vehicle doesn't prove to be extremely useful other than good cargo space, since a mutant firing rocket, or even a bursting Browning M2 can do 35 damage .. why bother ? I've ran over several radscorpions on random encounter before but that's about as fun as the vehicle gets with 2 tons of junk loaded in it.

On a side note, I need help with gambling, at bunker gamma, QM won't gamble unless the odds are 2:3, and he wins everytime at that odd, I've tried to lose something to him but doesn't help at all.. anyone know how to overcome that ? thx
 
Vehicles also make you travel faster on the map, thereby avoiding many crappy encounters. I like the hummer to wander around and kill things with, it's alot easier in a vehicle as you never get hit with friendly fire.
 
Another thing

I hate about vehicles in tactics is that you can never bring them into a mission area unless they are already provided there, in some maps, hack, all super mutant maps, the salvaged loots usually weights near 1000 pounds or more, without a vehicle to stash them, I have to leave them on the ground, exit area and put squad inventory into vehicle, then re-enter the area to pick up those, which is very annoying.

Good - travel fast, maybe reduce encounter
Bad - never around when you need one to get rid of encumber status or shoot from
 
RE: Another thing

here's what I did...

once the mission is over, I put one guy on exit grid. then with other characters I start salvaging items from mutants and giving thm to guy which is on exit grid. he gets imobile, but as soon as I exit the map, I put him in a vehicle and put all stuff there... easy enought to get a plenty of money

I might be missing something, but how exactly do you load items into the cargo space. I haven't had any luck trying to transfer from a character to the vehicle. Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks,
