Alternatively: Rags to riches or so they say, ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame (which, 'till the end of time, is the only appropriate song to be listening to when driving a Tempesta)

Goes to show how relatively easy money Import/Export is. Not to mention you get to drive a variety of different vehicles in missions ranging from a simple pick up over some 🤬 stealing your car to a bunch of 🤬 driving it around an imprompty racetrack or an even bigger bunch of 🤬 hosting a car meet to a warlord hiring a bunch of 🤬 to keep the keys safe and some 🤬 making you drive all the way out to nowhere to get it only for him to swing a baseball bat at your face.

Fun fact: Even considering that 20% of above value goes to covering the cost of modifying cars, it's a more profitable business than my Cocaine Lockup, and that had a good few weeks where they seemingly pulled supplies out of nowhere.

Really. Import/Export. Get all cars and then run your business on selling and reposseing the same car over and over. Simeon approves.

Around what time does the new car release and which one do you think it is?

About 4 hours from now. This week, it should be the..

Grotti Turismo Classic.

Next week should be the Duke O' Death.

I'm waiting to have mine delivered. At only $705k, it's almost cheap

Edit: And it handles ok. Not like the glitched Infernus. So it can turn left AND right.

 

[Crumpet]

Good lord the Turismo Classic is pretty.

I'm going to buy four of them. I'd put them with my four Lynx's but I theme my garages.

So after that is when they'll start introducing the formally old gen to current gen exclusive cars to everyone?

I'm not sure why but the 2 car garage next to the mini skate half pipes bit I can't get into my car in there.

Does it still happens if you change lobbies?

I did get disconnected and rejoined to the same issue. Not a different lobby per say but my connection to it was reset.

 

[Crumpet]

This specimen wasn't the greatest shot...

I was however remarkably impressed with his ability to crash without dying in a fiery wreck.

"Not enough players to start heist finale. Congratulations, even though you specifically asked for an invite-only session, we've now put you in a public session to penalise you for trying to do a heist. Enjoy."

Exactly how rushed was GTA Online?

There is a problem with certain garage locations. It began with certain 6-car garages not allowing folks into their cars, despite still being able to call them in through the mechanic. It does seem newer reports suggest the issue is more widespread than initially believed. Unfortunately, the only solution that I am aware of is 'moving' by purchasing another location for that garage. There may have been other workarounds discovered as I haven't been 'up' on my GTA particulars in a week or so.

The Turismo Classic is a great demonstration of why I wish Rockstar had hired even one designer with some rudimentary aerodynamics knowledge; why is the two-element wing comprised of two identical elements with an inverted angle of attack? Also the sun visor is shaped like a pocket when it should be flat, I'd imagine if it didn't get torn off at speed it'd create lift.

Also the wing mirrors are horrible and not customisable.

Boo!

Oh and I can't remember which cars you can get them on but one of the common wing designs is twisted, but it's twisted the wrong way - it should be that the ends have a higher angle of attack than the twisted centre section, but it's the other way around. It bugs the hell out of me.

Loading screens piss me off to no end. They just last so obscenely long that one wonders how a billion dollar company could let anything like that pass. It gets to the point that provided I don't spend all my time in freemode (which I usually don't, since I do stunt races with friends) about 1/3 of my playtime is loading screens. Now taking into account my playtime according to Social Club this amounts to a grand total of approximately a week of loading screens.

Speaking of the garage issue I did have a moment last night being unable to put a personal vehicle into my office garage. All good this evening so far.

 

[eran0004]

On the topic of bugs and glitches, I just got the wanted level glitch in the prison break heist finale (again), where you can't lose the cops in the Vellum. After about 30 minutes of aerobatics I found a solution: land the plane at Sandy Shores again (maybe other airports work as well?), then open the side door and close it again. That cleared the wanted level for me.

Edit: there should be an achievement for troubleshooting a glitch while piloting a plane, evading police helicopters and trying to communicate with your Spanish-speaking team.

"No puedo perder la policía!"

Edit 2: And of course the game gave me a bronze medal

 

[GT5Power]

How is the order of medals even decided?

I think its based on your kills and accuracy, but I'm not sure since it's been ages since I last did a heist.

 

[eran0004]

I guess each role has its own criterias (time, kills, damage, etc.) and then it generates a score based on how well you met those.

 

[DVNTST8]

What is the purpose of those medals?

 

[Crumpet]

Only upon entering the Rockstar editor do you realise how silly you look.

Don't worry! Here is a short summary:

 

[SomePlayaDude]

An update has rolled out on all consoles, and people are rejoicing for the left turn bug has been fixed.

 

[GT5Power]

What's with people getting awarded $250k? Is it random? Also, are there Shark Card bonuses right now?

 

[m8h3r]

I wonder if the garage bug has been fixed.

 

[rallymorten]

I'm impressed R* actually fixed something seemingly without breaking anything else.

In other news, Hell has just frozen over.

Now you've doomed us all by saying that!
