I'm sitting on $5,000,000 at the moment. Any recommendations on what might be worth purchasing?

Nero Custom if you don't already own one.

What @Eva said. The Tempesta is also pretty amazing from what I've heard.

I prefer the Nero Custom over the Tempesta honestly.

What @Eva and @Dan said. Or you could save up $750K and buy a Ruiner 2000.

Well, I wouldn't know since I don't own either of them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still trying to preserve a portion of my cash when I get a chance to buy the Ruiner 2000 and upgrade it. I just need to do some missions for the discount price. :/

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Do some missions for the discount price?

Emm..

Isn't it only the one mission? (oh, and you have to host it to get the discount)

 

[leeislee]

If there is anything im thinking of buying I always try to have a test drive of a fully upgraded one first. It's amazing how many times I've been put off something once I've tried it first. Saying that though, I've actually purchased a few vehicles I've had no interest in after a test drive!

The special vehicle missions are locked until I do the regular I/E ones.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Ohhhh

You mean sourcing cars.

 

[Dan]

Ohhhh

Yeah that thing!

 

[STI9]

Yeah that thing!

You will need to hurry up, what happens if the SVs are discounted on Tuesday as part of an event week?

 

[Sting]

Then I'll LOL.

Also, I see @Eva has had a name change. RIP Angel

I really hope this won't be the case, but I have a feeling they'll never get an event discount because you can already get one for doing the mission.

Bit of a strange turn of events on GTA today. I had a phone call from Moors. Letting me know that you can get insurance on vehicles in all garages. Only been playing since launch and making it to level 253.

You usually only get that call if you have an uninsured vehicle.

 

[GT5Power]

Never gotten that call, level 170. I've had an uninsured Faggio that spawned from a VIP job for quite a while.

On another note, me and my friends managed to get 14 boats onto my yacht tried for submarines too but they're too fragile D:, by jumping on it or by Cargobob.

Then, a Dinghy spontaneously combusted.

It caused a massive chain reaction which blew up all 14 of them.

And my Panto, which was parked in front of the cabin door (and is pretty much always on the yacht with us, along with some other PVs and cop cars) miraculously survived.

Weird I haven't nicked any cars for a while now.

Can I just say how interesting these Special Vehicle Work missions are when done with randoms?

First it takes them three attempts (and me taking away the helicopter) for them to not blow up the Wastelander, then it takes them half an hour to read a single line of text (although it is at the bottom of their screens, and given that the average GTA player is seemingly only able to focus on a 256x256 part of the screen, which is probably in the middle, that can be excused), then they fail to realise you're not supposed to get close to walls and other solid objects with people on the back of a Phantom Wedge, then they question whether you're Dutch or not (which is somehow linked to whether or not you can do a money drop)..

Thanks to @titleguy1 for being more useful than all the randoms put together. I'm just glad it's done now.

Sorry for arriving late I dropped my controller and saw my character fall out of the helicopter and immediately though "oh 🤬" to myself.

True, but you had (and more than accounted for) one whoops-moment, which is more than can be said about the four people who decided their ego made them more qualified as a driver than the highest ranked person who also happens to have their driving stats maxed and generally is.. about average(?)

Sometimes I truly wonder if it's possible to fail kindergarten.

It definitely is possible to fail kindergarten at least here in the US.

 

[leeislee]

It never ceases to amaze me how randoms find ways of failing missions. It also amazes me how almost all of them leave after they themselves are responsible for all the failures. Like they're sick of the failures.

"Right, I've jumped out of this helicopter 7 times and died. I'm sick of this group failing the mission. I'm off"

 

[AnthonyD1993]

My brother once saw a random fail Mixed up with Coke because the random was the last alive and died because he was under the truck when it blew up while he was under it and shooting it with a SMG. Nobody in his group was mad because they thought it was funny that he actually took out the truck.

Mixed Up With Coke is by far one of the easiest missions to play. Just get a Buzzard and you're done in less than five minutes. With the amount of people who own one, it should be impossible to fail, unless you and your team are level fives.

 

[leeislee]

When you pay 25 grand to move your yacht, change lobbies only to find its moved miles away and stays there every time you change lobby!

Why can't it move back to where you wanted it if the current space is empty?! Grrrr

 

[m8h3r]

I'm in love with the Compact Grenade Launcher at the moment. Been doing a lot of Biker Missions with a friend as it pays the same for us both and firing that thing from a bike leaves a trail of destruction behind.

 

[leeislee]

Just entered a lobby full of GTAF crew members and immediately got killed three times in about 1 minute, about 4 players are voting for you to be kicked, a we are tracking you as a possible cheater warning and two, yes TWO bounties on my head.

I didn't even know two bounties at once was possible.
