And slower. I think its for those morons who think "aww its more expensive, must be better "

I bought the LWB Shafter... because I drive an LWB car IRL... so why not? I like the idea of extra luxury and the available power when you need to make an escape.

Plus, extra space means you "can bang your secretary's secretary"

You sure you don't want to try? It looks like we've got plenty of time, and this isn't the kind of challenge you want to rush.

I was hopig we can do it in ONE day but it's not going to happen. Loading times, synchronization factors, etc.

I got one final left but right after the final I'm going on holidays. So yeah.

I just love the Swartzer V12. It's sounds so powerful.

 

[e rikkie]

Ok then. I 've heard of third-wheeling but not fifth.

It probably has the same meaning, but a third wheel on a bike can actually be handy

fifth wheel on a car o.t.o.h.


and in other news today: today is my last working day this year!!!! having 3 weeks off

Someone needs to do a comparison video of Armored Schafter V12 vs Armored Kuruma in terms of toughness. At this rate, it looks like I should just sell my Kuruma and use the money towards the Schafter.

I want the Schafter V12. Im going to hold off and see if there will be a sale. In any case, Im not sure whether to go for the armoured one or not. Its a lot more money and only a little bit slower. Its all about the protection from the windows though. The kuruma has lttle slits due to the armour plate but the scafter has toughened glass. I would presume the Kuruma offers superior protection in that sense. I think the Kuruma is better for missions than the insurgent due to the windows. For playing missions the AI never blows your car up anyway so thats not the issue. The other thing is that the armour plating on the V12 looks ugly.

@Custom878 - why'd you become a bodyguard for the guys harassing us?!

Edit: and as I type that, disconnected.

About 5 minutes into the battle I got an invite to join them too.

Docktease has a 25% off this week, doesnt include the Yacht though

even if they had 80% off on the yacht i wouldn't have enough

 

[STI9]

I was playing rockets vs insurgents, 2 teams of 4 people. Every round we won we got 10k+ and we won 4/5. Took like 20 minutes.

Same. Seemed a little odd, really.

I got a few weird glitches last night. My level would sometimes display as either 100 or 1000. I got a notice that I'd be able to register as a VIP, then tried (thinking it meant earning $1 million was enough) only to be denied (I've got a bit over $700k in the bank). I'm trying to determine if it's worth becoming a bodyguard. The idea of all my money in freeroam going to someone else makes me think no, since I get a fair amount from there. It'd make me harder to kill though, which would be handy!

I'm also trying to figure out if it's worth just saving for a yacht at this point. Yeah, it'll take me ages, but I've moved up 400k in 3 nights of playing. And since I don't have any other boats or air vehicles, it might be worth it for the package deal, so to speak. I've got two places now - a 10-car apartment downtown and a 6-car out in the sticks - and I'm not too fussed about owning any of the purchase-only cars, other than maybe wanting the new armoured V12.

I still don't own a rocket launcher either, or any sort of armoured vehicle.

Spoiler: PC Modders spoiled the Festive Surprise car, here it is getting upgraded in LSC

 

[Dan]

Aww yiss.

 

[Jahgee]

Aww yiss.

I think it looks sweet, there's already an appreciation thread on GTAForums, and I've already seen the color scheme I plan to use on it. BTW read that appreciation thread if you wanna see some meta forum drama

 

[STI9]

You guys think it will be released on tuesday? Festive surprise and Christmas is on Friday.

I loved that car so much in TBOGT and I always imagined what colors to put on it if we ever had the opportunity to customize it. So glad it's returning now. Could you provide me the link to the thread? I want to see this drama for myself.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect Rockstar releasing the next DLC after Christmas.

I can do a comparison this weekend.

Spoiler: In case someone still wants to be surprised, don't click

http://gtaforums.com/topic/833199-declasse-tampa-appreciation-thread/, appreciation threads are a hot topic, people really want to be the thread starter

 

[Dan]

It's a shame that car doesn't have a more beefy engine sound. :/

 

[Leadfoot530]

I definatly want the festive suprise car. Not sure what it is, though. Maybe a Boss 302?

Looks sweet! Another point of me wishing I had next gen...

It's based on multiple muscle cars according to the GTA Wiki.

1964-1973 Ford Mustang
1970-1971 Dodge Dart

Just so you guys know, you can't set up an air strike on or near a yacht.

It would be entertaining to see the yacht's anti-aircraft system attempt to shoot down the AI Lazer.

Oooh, I just got an idea. 💡 If you were to have your yacht close to Fort Zancudo and stole a Lazer from the base, would your yacht attack the AI as well? Sounds like a task for modders whom can fly invincible jets while leading hostile AIs towards their boat.

How do you avoid the AI jets though? I always have trouble with them.

 

[Jahgee]

No, little kid who called me a 🤬 after I killed you in my Kuruma which lead to me killing you approximately 20 times in other cars and on foot, sending a mugger after you is not trying to kill you, it's trying to steal from you, big difference

 

[Stavingo]

Hmm, got about 22m in the bank, should I be all good with the update?

Looking to mainly buy a Yacht, maybe the new sports car and still have money leftover.

Yeah, you'll be fine as long as you aren't getting every new car. The most expensive you can get your yacht is 10 million

A reminder: don't use the 🤬 smiley to only partially censor a 🤬 word. It defeats the purpose if you're leaving part of it 🤬 visible.
