For the briefest of moments, I shall claim the biggest sum of money awarded that isn't related to Shark Card purchase:

Cue Ryder talking about LB, vans and being dependable! That was fast!

 

[Sage Ages]

Meh, the HL sees much more use than the RPG. Now, is it as bulletproof as the Kuruma? Which car is better to use in freemode?

The entire rear of the car is entirely covered, but there are small openings in the side windows. Pay attention to how your car is positoned and you should be fine.

 

[Sting]

I expect a Batmobile alike to pop up. Specifically the Tumbler from the Christian Bale saga.

No thanks. I'd rather have this sleek beauty.

 

[Flash_Sweden]

I did contactmissions with @250 GTO @STI9 @Sting and @Leadfoot530 tonight, wich made the custom Chino I purchased/built tonight "free" 👍
I'm looking forward to making a lot more money off of this 2x cash weeks, and because of that, get some more "free" cars
And the $1,3M I'll get for my Kraken will also come to use

 

[rallymorten]

Do feel free to stick an invite to your homing launcher rocket and shoot it in this general direction if there aren't enough AI-spawn shenanigans involving trucks and trailers doing backflips

 

[gnomefromnome]

Can't shoot out the back of the DoD, no reversing scrubs this time.

 

[Sage Ages]

Isn't this a rebate or something for the free vehicles?

 

[gnomefromnome]

If you had purchased the Marshall, Dodo, Stallion, Blista, or Kracken, you get that money refunded. They used to be returning-player exclusives. Now, anyone can buy them, but returning players can get them for free. In a surprising move, those that bought them in the past are getting that money refunded.

 

[Anathema]

Huh. Was wondering why I was awarded seemingly the most arbitrary number (the cost of the Blista.)

Messed around with all the now-free stuff.
Marshall - was fun for like 15 minutes, until I tried to take it to LSC for bulletproof tires - cannot be modified. I'll bring it out for fun every so often, I guess.
Dodo - I own a plane now, I guess. Wouldn't advise landing it in the 'Playboy' mansion's swimming pool, though.
Kraken - Cue yellow submarine jokes. Actually kinda fun if you get it to spawn near the ocean, not so much that big lake by Sandy Shores.
Duke 'O Death - Not as good as the armored Kuruma IMO, seems like the firing angles while on driver's side aren't as good. Also seems less protected in terms of gunfire aimed at the driver, but... once the armor is upgraded, being able to take a Stinger missile is nice. Also, just being able to bodyslam almost any other vehicle out of the way is loads of fun. Except the train. That didn't stop.

That's more than the cost of all the now-free vehicles combined. What's going on?!

I can only assume it's a bonus for buying the Luxor Deluxe.

 

[m8h3r]

I wish I'd picked up some of the non free/free stuff now.

Are there any Trash Talk playlists out there? Just curious.

I dont think there are mission playlists anymore. You also cannot select replay from the voting screen if you pass a mission.
I think the best idea would be to get 4 others and just keep cycling the 6 player missions. They generally pay out ~35-50k depending on your time. Remember there are also small bonuses for full lobbies and playing with crew members.

Spoiler: (GIF) The Turismo Classic is great to show off with

Whoever recognizes this old backdrop from the Snapmatics thread (a small classic car show in Del Perro Pier), well I didn't have a reward ready but.. emm.. feel rewarded (???)

Spoiler: (GIF) Duke O'Death In D'Rain

Best free car in the game. Take that, Elegy RH8!

Does that include the Insurgent or does the DoD get smashed like a toy car as every other car does?

Smashes into the side of an Insurgent, full speed. The Insurgent hardly moved (may have been an unlucky angle. Didn't try again, since the random didn't take kindly to my experiment), but the DoD didn't suffer any damage either. Drove it off the top of Chiliad as well, rolled pretty much the whole way, not a scratch on it.

Nice. How many missiles can it tank?

 

[leeislee]

My fully upgraded Duke o'death can survive 5 stickies stuck to it and detonated. Just took out a tank and casually drove away!

Dunno, but a guy in a jet kept trying to machinegun me, he blew up everything around me, but the Duke kept on going

The DOD really does just keep on going. Nice to get a solid muscle car.

[m8h3r]

I got a nice sizable 60k rebate Woo!

I'll try not to spend it all at once.

 

[Sage Ages]

1 RPG, not sure how many homing missiles.

 

[Crumpet]

Bother, five at a time can you carry proximity mines.

Routinely do I find myself without one at the most crucial of times.

Might I carry fifty of them Rockstar? I blitz through them like I do Tunnocks teacakes.

 

[maxi25]

For the office garages, do they replace the normal garages that you can buy or add on to them? Like if I have two 10-car garages would the office garage replace my separate garages entirely or give me extra space for more cars?
