Those things are everywhere in PS3 lobbies too, and usually they wind up being there because one modder put them in god mode and another modder put them on fire to blow them up.You find a lot of these lying around in bad sport lobbies.

No buyer's remorse with the Savage yet. Got my first couple of missile locks on me today, wasn't that hard to evade. Just drop in altitude to quickly gain speed and then dive behind cover.
I'm leaning towards a bug. There are so many of them in this game anyway.
Speaking of bugs, with my new Top Gun outfit (including bike) I've learned how to hate the auto-show bike helmet bug. The game forgets that it's set to off every time you enter or return from a heist or a mission, and what's worse is that it defaults to using the black bulletproof helmet, which isn't even a bike helmet.
Imagine Tom Cruise riding the bike with a SWAT helmet on his head. Would totally ruin the film

Bought a GP1. So far it's good, however every time I race on the stunt race called Spinner, the spliiter of the car proceeds to get caught only on one ramp, thus screwing me up.

PSA: The bug effecting the Infernus Classic was also present on a few other cars, notably the Pigalli, Vigero, Redwood Guantlet and 811.
Eafh vehicle gains a bit of time during a lap of Broughy-s testing, but only the Vigero gains a few spots on the leaderboard.
Top speed for the 811 has also been corrected from 129.3 MPH to the original 132.5 MPH, which I believe makes it the fastest in top speed again.

Broughy confirms the bug has been in the game since at least Import/Export and indirectly accuses the Raptor of causing these issues.
TL;DR the testing was done on a broken game and thus some cars now have a different lap time, those being listed above this post (oh ffs, even when I think I can be early with this
)
Also TIL on PC the top speed of the 811 depends on your framerate.

I enjoyed a huge trolling session last night online. Killing two high level players and then going passive or enjoying time on my yacht with the defences on.
Anyway, I think I discovered a new off radar troll tactic. Now it's not strictly off radar, you can't do anything other than watch the try hards search for you.
I was in my private helicopter when the two Griefers went ghost (obviously) so I went off radar and headed to my maze bank helipad. I jumped down from the platform and entered the blue circle. When the option came up to enter my office or garage I didn't click anything. I just left it.
I hit pause to look at the map and I could see their jet icons constantly turn to the little flag so I guessed they were looking at the map but it was clear I wasn't showing up. I left it like that for a good ten minutes while they flew around searching.
After they crashed I backed out of the office/garage option and drove to a nearby wall breach and annoyed them all over again.
It may work (if it does infact work as I can't really confirm it myself) on any CEO office with a garage.

Had my first Savage crash yesterday 
I was doing the RIP Lost MC mission with a friend and rushed to the cemetary with the helicopter to support my friend on the ground. I selected the cannon and came in low and fast for a spectacular attack run.
And spectacular it was. Only, I forgot about the big mountain on the other end of the cemetary and since I focused on the ground targets I didn't see it until it was much too late.
Lesson learned: plan your attack runs better!

You know how everyone argues about catch up being broken? Well I didn't mind catch up being turned on in races up until the last time I played Big Drop with catch up on where one of the jumps were impossible to get through. What the hell? Has Rockstar even bother testing all their tracks with their team with catch up on before even releasing them? 
I don't think catch up should be removed completely in my opinion since I could still do fine with it on but instead balanced. They shouldn't have decreased the speed for the racers in the lead and just give the racers behind a speed boost. Now with stunt races, there are some stunt races that are broken by catch up.

Catch up isn't too bad. Now curb boosting on the other hand, that's bad. More and more people are doing it just so they have the chance of winning. It's especially prevalent in this weeks x2 cash/rp stunt races. I can't even give the GP1 a fair test since most people (in the Nero or X80 mind you) are using curb boosting to win.

I 🤬 hate curb boosting! It ruins the whole race!

I'm not sure how much R* can do to patch curb boosting since it's part of the driving physics, but I like that the dedicated racing community is creating tracks that try to eliminate boosting.

Double clutching was patched a couple of times before and it was part of the driving physics too. I think it could of been due to car balancing issues *I heard the slamvan custom use to be broken if you knew how to double clutch.* or because of Rockstar's stupidity to ruining the fun out of GTA. So maybe I could see curb boosting getting a fix.

Wooo-Hooo! Just got 500k for whatever reason from Rockstar as I signed in. This is the first time I've got one of these random cash awards

So I did a bit of racing tonight...what is up with the increased number of bad and salty drivers? I couldn't get a clean pass done with out being shunted or having to brake suddenly (effectively spinning them out). I leave for a bit to play some other games and- yeah im starting to ramble now....

Simple answer: don't bother with racing unless it's an organised event.
Alternatively: To finish first, first you need to make sure your opponents don't finish. Fight fire with a flamethrower. Bring a Gatling to a gun fight. Preemptively crash everyone else off the track.
Heck, that'd make you pretty average for this game.

Or host the race yourself. Set to non-contact and watch idiots that can't drive without crashing into everything loose. As it should be.

I'm on yet another hiatus on playing because of mod menus online getting a real upgrade.
First up is boosting levels of anyone in the lobby. A mostly harmless little trick, but enough for me to steer away from pubs.
Then days later, said mod menu can also adjust the amount of money in your account.
And then, just today, TezFunz caught wind of an exploit used by modders that's similar to the Golden Luxor insurance scam. But it exploits leftover code from last gen. What code? The bills on when you kill someone in last gen Passive Mode.
Oh, and no Duke O'Death yet. Tunables only updated a new adversary mode. Joy of joys.

I'm wondering, why is everyone randomly being gifted cash by Rockstar? Usually Rockstar would only do this on special occasions like GTA Online's 3rd anniversary or in times where there's very serious issues plaguing GTA Online that is deleting everyone's character from the game and Rockstar decides to compensate those who lost their character with like let's say $500k-$1 million. But I have never seen anyone get gifted money out of random by Rockstar up until now and I've seen it happen several times for some people. You must have some seriously good luck if you were randomly gifted $500k 3 times by Rockstar.
I've been playing this game since launch and have yet to randomly be gifted cash like some of you on here.
