I find it hilarous how lowriders scrape on pretty much every single imperfection in the road while all of the other ridiculously low cars just clip through the ground. You'd think they would've thought this through.

To be fair, if you're taking it to Benny's, you're probably already prepared to spend about $100k on just a couple of cosmetic upgrades, so $1000 isn't necessarily a huge amount in comparison.

 

[GT5Power]

What's way worse than Benny's is repairing a special vehicle in LSC. Apparently you have to pay over 9000 dollars before modifying a Ruiner 2000 because you can't have your fingerprints on the steering wheel...

Did you put your Blazer Aqua in the water?

7 thousand.

Did that Z Type lose about every door and has some serious issues with the cooling and the engine?

500 dollars.

Exactly. After a raid on Fort Zancudo and a chase from there to Vespucci with 4 star cops in my Panto, I only got charged $58 to have it repaired...

That's an upside of having your own modshop. Vehicle gets fixed when entering the garage and are in mint condition when entering the modshop. That's also the reason why I keep all of my Benny-fied cars in my office garage.

What's even more bizarre is how some non-lowrider cars behave on the road. For example, the regular Faction will pole vault itself over any pot hole, curb, or bump in the street, while the lowrider never has that issue.

Ditto, the custom auto shop should pay for itself soon

I found that out the hard way while testing cars out in races. Felt like it had solid shocks or something.

Yeah, it's a shame. I really liked that car in GTA IV, and it makes me a little sad that it's almost impossible to drive. At least it's made for some hilarious moments. Look up "Broughy1322 Faction" on YouTube. He has some funny clips of the car getting into ridiculous incidents.

Just bought a Technical yesterday since it was still on sale. Turns out the machine gun is pretty much a laser beam. You can blow vehicles up from several blocks away.

I tried making a secondary character and failed to create a being beyond that of a subhuman.

The ancestral system in place is quite bizarre.

Another bizarre thing is the vehicle spawn system. The same few cars over and over again and the specific car you're looking for never appears. Just spent an hour looking for a Duneloader. No success.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

You gotta fight that desire sensor. It knows when you are looking for a certain car, it won't spawn until you've lost interest.

How many shots will it take to destroy an average vehicle?

That's another thing I miss from GTA IV. It was so easy to find specific vehicles. Want this supercar? Get a crappy sedan and drive around this section of town for a few minutes. Soon, there will be hundreds around you.

 

[Sage Ages]

How many shots will it take to destroy an average vehicle?.

A couple seconds of direct fire. Any players in the way get killed almost instantly, and there doesn't appear to be any significant damage dropoff.

It's not because of that ransomware stuff they've been talking about is it?

Ah damn. My video just uploaded. Guess I'll have to make an update video to speculate even more.

Pacific Standard finale, no cops.

*cue Rockstar disabling snacks in PacStan because they can't be arsed to code a patch

 

[eran0004]

Found the Duneloader at last! And with that, my Indiana Jones set is complete.

Can confirm this works. You must hold X when drinking beers though until your character throws the bottle down. Only now have I realised that was even a thing.

Stunt Races are shown 2x $/RP now, and vehicles on sale

EDIT: From GTAForums

Discounts: Infernus Classic, Turismo Classic, Rustin and Progen GP1 are on sale

Bonus Pay/RP: All Stunt Races (including special vehicle circuit) Resurrection and Juggernaut adversary modes

Sadly, no update

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The new cars from Cunning Stunts Special Vehicle Circuit are 25% off, along with some performance mods in LSC.

Never a better time to grab the Turismo Classic like now.

 

[Flash_Sweden]

 

[JR98]

Definitely picking up the discounted GP1

 

[SomePlayaDude]

This sounds like a job for Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy some pretty good speculation.
