First, one must see the Buzzard from the front.
See it? It's a clear view of the pilot. It's actually easy to shoot the pilot from the ground if he's going for free aim shots with missiles.
Not to mention that you do have aim assist for console or controller players that can lock on these pilots easy.

Yeah, but one shot from a Machine Pistol in the air? that is hard.

So I finally bought an office and the cheapest vehicle warehouse. (plus a office garage once I 'sold' my stilt house, because the office I bought is the one right across from Del Perro Heights, where I own the cheapest high-end apartment.)
Had no idea the profit margins were actually this good, made about $500k net from only an hour of work - I somehow rolled 5 Top Ends in the span of this hour but now that I know about the 32 vehicle exploit I'll be using that instead of random chance.
Had to use Ghost Organization a few times to stop interest from unsavory players, but it all worked out eventually.

The Coil Rocket Voltic!
This has to be the biggest improvement to a very unwieldy car I've ever seen since the Slamvan Custom came. But what is it that gave it my seal of approval? Simple: it's what you do with that one button that replaces the horn: el rocket.
The rocket just allows you to just break physics in general. The fun factor here is high, people.
Now, in the world of GTA, you would want guns and explosions. The Ruiner does that, yeah, but I want to have another sort of plus. I mean, to what the Voltic gains for turning into the Rocket Voltic is just a whole lot more than the Ruiner.
You get performance (as seen in Broughy being able to break a minute on Cutting Coroners GP with the current set of cars), but that's obvious. The star is that you get a big freaking rocket. This is probably the best addition for allowing you to do things like:
- Launch off a steep hill at 140 MPH without considering drag and just straight fly up. That free roam event with the jumping off a ledge with the car can get REALLY competitive now.
- Interrupt a drift to go straight with the rocket.
- Allow paths that make you the ultimate bounty chasee.
- Use the rocket as a crutch for first timers with the Voltic. I mean, you can even put a turbo in it, which you can't do with the base car.
- Blast away pedestrians, which won't be considered a crime from you! (MY WINNER)
The price of 2.8 million is a little steep, but it's not too bad considering what's considered expensive and not expensive in the game these days. All in all, a car I wouldn't mind buying for others so they can taste the power of psyonix pls.
The Imponte Ruiner 2000
It's about time we get something to destroy the free roam baddies. Wait? What's that? You are the baddie?
That's my thought of the Ruiner 2000. To insult the JB 700, we get a car that's pretty close to satisfying Twisted Metal fans for car combat. In a nutshell: SIGN ME UP BABAY!!
What's this? 4.3 million? That's low enough? Ehh.. you can get a Hydra for less. There's the problem: pricing. It's too expensive. That, and the combat capabilities are much more limited than anything else that shoots rockets. I mean.. it can't even take one explosion. COME ON!! So much for Twisted Metal..
For land combat, it's not my cup of tea, which is sad considering what it's made for. The Insurgent, from what I hear, can tank the full 8 missiles, and generally laughs at the KITT. But the credit goes to the insane lockon strength and speed of its missiles, where well aimed shots even make Hydras have trouble dodging these much more swift babies.
For all the other reasons, it is a blast. Some very fun things to do, as I like to do with mods, is to practice and find new ways to travel and maneuver with the jump parachute combo. That alone got me to think which car should I award my seal of approval? But then: it's still a 2 wheel drive muscle car. If only the Elegy got this treatment..
Got the cash? Then I wholeheartedly recommend getting one to try out to combat jet griefers at free roam. Just watch out for Insurgents.. they're still the kings.
All are nice, but are a niche. In no particular order...
Nagasaki Blazer Aqua
The Blazer Aqua is actually fun to drive, has guns, and the amphibious conversion is just beauty to my eyes. But the only object this thing can destroy properly is innocent boats and armless innocent cars. In a realistic situation of aquatic warfare, the guy on the boat aimed by this would have the Blazer driver's head shot by the time he sees it. You're exposed, and you can do nothing about it. Also: the inability to use throwables, like the Sticky Bomb, is a big downside.
Karin Technical Aqua
The Technical suffers from only being useful in a co-operative standpoint. This is just a Technical with pontoons. It would look good if you want to cosplay as an African pirate, but that's it.
MTL Wastelander
While it can carry a bit, the regular Insurgent just does better than this in terms of being an off roading bunker, or even offroading in general. The engine sound however is nice.
BF Ramp Buggy
I wanted to like it, I do. But it just doesn't carry enough durability to back it up. It's fun for a while, then you have to go and fix it. This, the price (more than other 'ramp cars' like the Cheetah, Zentorno and Turismo), and the fracas regarding having a spoiler variant being separate is a no-no.
Jobuilt Phantom Wedge
This is the car I hoped would win. But after severe testing, and having an increase in shortcomings with research, I'm sad to put it down and say it sucks. Like the Ramp Buggy, it's not durable enough to justify what it does best, and I'm not going to fix it over and over again to plow regenerating traffic. It would be better if it could have the Insurgent's tankiness, or repair cost.
Brute Armored Boxville (Sweet Tooth)
Many have compared it to the superior Insurgent Pickup and Armored Limo. The Boxville falls short from these cheaper, more accessible machines in almost all ways.

My award for the normal vehicles will be ready when the Specter comes out.

The cargobob I purchased for the import/export stuff has already paid for itself. Its faster and saves money on repairs etc. I've not had one case of the car being dropped. Makes the whole stealing and selling grind easier and less annoying.
From what I understand if anyone else is in the lobby there is a risk the Bob will drop the car. Don't quote me on that though.

Anyone else having problems with the Rockstar Game Services recently? Half of the time I load in and either get a message saying they're unavailable or that it can't save because they can't connect.

Yep. Been having that happen a lot lately on PS4. Figured maybe it was because of more people being online with the increased payouts, but I'm starting to have my doubts.
Not sure what to make of it, but it certainly is annoying!

Been hearing reports that people are getting a free sum of 250k from Rockstar for whatever reason.
