I think I'll take a cruise like I used to do and travel the entire map with no radio and just listen to the engine as I take in the scenery... It's been a long time since I did that.. Now what car shall I drive.. one of the great new editions or perhaps a trip in one of my older, almost forgotten favorites.

I recommend the Stirling GT. Best engine sound in the game by far.

   I'm inclined to agree.

If you buy a Hotknife right now, it comes without any body panels past the end of the windshield, which looks pretty cool

Not for me ( poor+ps3+no CE = sucks )

For anyone interested:
I mentioned earlier that I had a GTA road trip planned and here's how it went. I spawned at my garage on Supply near the infamous Poplar St. garage and hopped in my Osiris. I pulled out and hopped on the freeway headed to Weazel Plaza. I wound that tach to red line as I blazed through traffic at well over 100 mph until I reached my exit..which was pretty quick .. but I had a purpose. I parked right outside of the garage and opened it up knowing exactly what car I wanted to get. There she was nestled in the very back and I strolled grinning from ear to ear as I looked at the lovely collection of Benefactors. I stopped in front of the Stirling GT and admired it, briefly. I pull up that awesome door and fire it up. The noise was perfect. I plotted a route to route 68 using back roads and decided I would head up to Beekers in Paleto Bay for a first stop. Every time I let off the throttle my ears were met with the low burble and pop that I love. Once I made it to Beekers I headed to the police station to borrow a chopper and choose a new ride... however as I ascended I looked down at the classic racer and decided to jump back to her.. We took the highway back home unleashing all the power within that old girl..needless to say she didn't dissapoint.

Some DLC cars were massive disappointments (Furore GT), but I can honestly say that I can't find any negative points about the Stirling GT. Everything seems so right about it. It's perfect in the three most important categories for any car guy: Looks, sound, and performance.

 

[Jahgee]

The one thing I wish the Stirling GT had (And other cars with spare wheels) is that the wheels you have on your car appear as the spare wheel

I really wish I knew more people who still play on PS3. I used to hage a few friends who used to do meets and cruises, where we would then pick a location and do dome St4eet Outlaws type of drag racing. I just want me friends on PS3 that share my love of in game cars, instead of their love of seeing most of my personaly vehicals explode in a huge ball of fire.

In other news, do we have an Outfit Thread or anything? I got a few, pretty cool looking, outfits that I use quite a lot; i'd love to show them off, once I get my darn snapmatic pictures to show up here.

It doesn't work on PS3/360 anyways, I've tried because I wanted the topless Casco.

So there's a new hack going around on PC where a hacker can unlock all weapon skins for you instantly which triggers Rockstar's detection thing and gets you banned from GTA Online.

Great...

Do you have to do anything to let them do it?

They can just do it randomly at any time, even faster if you call the guy who is level 1000 in your lobby a dirty hacker scrub.

 

[JR98]

So why aren't these hackers insta banned when they join GTA Online? Sneaky ******s.

 

[Dan]

Gotta love anti-cheat measures. Hackers can work around them and create new accounts whenever they want, innocent players always get screwed over.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

You should Google these darned things. There's a lot more that YouTube and the search results could do than ask here.

By the way, I might get GTA V on PC tomorrow, and I'm a little miffed at how these hackers are just out and about.

That's why I'm going to wait for a while to get a Gaming PC and GTA V.

Fun fact:In GTAO it is not a crime to drive over a cops corpse. I find that hilarious hahahahahaha

But it IS a crime to have a police helicopter ram into you.

Or a police cruiser. Or standing next to them. Or hell, everything.

"Morning Officer"
*Huge gunfight ensues*

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I find it a joy to purposely put myself in a firefight with another player, suicide, then go passive and watch cops try to impound victim's car.

 

[Crumpet]

I hope they do another Independence Day update for GTA Online this year, do you guys remember it?

Beer hats, monster trucks, fireworks, last year was awesome, round 2 please!
And the musket is my absolute favorite weapon in the game.

 

[JR98]

I wonder what Ill Gotten Gains Part II is...

Perhaps a gold Buzzard?

 

[Stavingo]

More crazy clothing and some vehicles worth $999999999999999999999999

A new sports car that is 2 seconds a lap faster than the Elegy. (Yes I'm still bitter about the Stirling completely ruining the balance of the Sports Classics class)

That is annoying especially considering the Stinger GT looks faster than the Stirling...

The Stinger GT looks faster than most cars in the class, and yet it gets beaten by pretty much every other car in the class (aside from the Tornado, Peyote, etc.). Meanwhile, the huuuuge Z-Type was not only the fastest car in the class prior to the Stirling, but has the highest top speed in the entire game.

Which is Bull crap. How a Bugatti from 1937 is faster than a Bugatti from 2013 is just absurd. The Stinger should be top, then the Stirling then the Monroe then the Z-Type and then the low riders.

Because R* logic guys, lets keep it real here

 

[STI9]

R* used Jock Cranley and Sue Murray stuff to advertise this game at first. A lot of people speculated that you may be able to do missions involving their respective political campaigns.
I went on the internet in fame yesterday and saw ads for those characters again.
They could possibly be the base for a new story DLC or somehow ties in with more heists. Seems too good to waste them.
