It's mostly a problem taking shortcuts, and/or certain off road drop locations that leave open an opportunity to high centre. Overall, it's a piss poor vehicle with little ground clearance.

My only advice to those who get stuck is to not fight to get it unstuck. Sit there for a moment spinning wheels and the game will disable the vehicle and end the sale. If you get hung up; get out and source another vehicle with which to dislodge the buggy. The same applies to the other vehicle missions, although no others are nearly as likely to require assistance.
 
Does anyone else ever occationally have a brainwave for a really great event that's sure to be spectacular and something you imagine could be interesting to people but then realise it's only ever going to end up like this because that's just how rotten your luck is:

Every time I take my rally Futo up to the dam. Then I end up on my roof at the bottom of the canyon in a creek.
 
Been on a mega grind since last tuesday taking advantage of the gunrunning boost, plus the snow last week got me a few days off work to boot. :lol:

Ended up getting the Volatol and the Lazer(that one took me back to 49k.:P)

Should be around 8 million after this current grinding run and ready for whatever applicable bonuses come tomorrow, plus the 50k for the time trial. :D

As for what I think will be in the update, It has to be something regarding boats or Naval warfare if it’s something along the lines of Smugglers run/Doomsday Heist in terms of an update.

I/E and Gunrunning covers land, Smugglers Run covers air, but so far we don’t have anything based around sea.

Look at it like this, until Smugglers Run came along we never thought we would be able to customise aircraft, Doomsday gave us the ability to upgrade a freakin tank and a Jetpack, Sea vessels are the only thing that(Yacht not withstanding) players haven't been able to customise.

Of course, R* could throw my guess out the window and into the shredder and give us yet another heist. :P

Don’t take my word for it, i’m just as curious as you guys are as to what it might be. ;)

I'm going to ignore what I said yesterday and see what happens anyway when I put it officially "out there". Which also says a lot about this.

I have basically got all the details worked out for a.. quite significantly ambitious freemode event/roleplay. Cutting to the chase, it's basically a mini rally, but fully in-depth. I told you it was out there.

GTA will let us cram total of 30 people into a session, so - being the selectively optimistic individual I am - I've got 30 "roles" people can take, from actually participating in the rally, being a course marshal, standing at either the start- or finish line - even being the emergency crew, just in case.

It would be a somewhat-fully timed thing (i.e. if I stand at the start, I'll note down who starts at what in-game minute, and whoever stands on the finish line notes who finishes at what in-game minute and we'll time people down to every in-game minute), because it's a mini-rally I'm looking at three stages in the general vicinity of Paleto Bay/Mount Chiliad where two are repeated and, for reasons of authenticity, entry would be limited to vehicles with a rally look to them, i.e. racing livery, rollcage etc.

Course marshals would mainly serve to close any road where AI cars may be an issue (should only be a few) and otherwise be authentic. I've yet to decide if certain clothing items should be mandatory for marshals of any kind.

Emergency crew.. again, just for authenticity. Someone has a crash and 'splodarises, a firetruck arrives to extinguish the fire, an ambulance arrives to take the driver to the hospital, the stage is cancelled and so on and so forth.

Oh and because we're doing this in freemode, damage carries over between stages minus the one time competitiors return to rally HQ (I'm thinking the truck stop at Paleto Bay for various reasons. Also if anyone has an MOC - regardless if Personal Vehicle Storage or not - feel free to bring it along for reasons of authenticity) for service. Because timing should work relatively flawlessly, it should be possible to announce the winner while still in the lobby.

Total time I'd expect this to take if all goes well? About an hour at most.

I told you this was ambitious. Probably too much. Hence what I said yesterday.

That sounds amazing. I'd definitely love to take part if it ends up going ahead.

I can make use of the performance upgrades. The Torero and Rallye are on my list as well since I sold the latter a while back to pay for Benny upgrades to the Elegy Retro.

Really wanted 2x I/E though.
 
I was really hoping for something a little more lucrative. Oh well. I still have $4.7 million in my account.

EDIT: What is the best supercar for the money?

Probably the Zentorno.
 
For free roaming, the Zentorno is a good option. As for racing the Nero Custom or Vagner is probably your best bet.
 
The Nero Custom is probably the best supercar for public race lobbies. Not because it's the fastest; because it's the heaviest.


Also, I wouldn't be spending that much money right before an update. :ouch:

I still have 3.4 million and all my businesses up and running. Plus, how do know for sure there's an update coming or what it is for sure?
