I am an absolute car retard but even I can tell there's a lot of different complicated things going on with the driving physics in this game.

Gonna continue being my driving around game of choice until they make a new burnout

You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.


My name is BitBasher think I may have a problem.

I bought my third garage and though of all the neat vehicles out there, then started filling it with even more cars for racing. I bought a Dune Buggy and a Dominator and upgraded them all the way. I'm at the point now where I have like 15 cars set up for racing, even putting together cars for edge cases like the Utilities class. I'm fighting off the urges to buy the Livery Massacro, the Raphsody for alternate RWD car for compacts racing and a Baller for the rare long highway SUV races.

I need Race Anon.

Personal preference is Alta Street, as it's 30 seconds from gun fight central to the North and LSC to the North or East, yet it's south over the main freeway so that rarely do I step out my door into an orgy of violence.

My second house is up in Paleto Bay with a view of the ocean, because there is one of everything including a helicopter pad immediately nearby and because it's not in the city.

Third property is a 10 car garage a block away from the East LSC.

EDIT: Honestly though it's a whole poo poo ton of personal preference. You just will want at least one high end apartment with a heist planning room for heists (snicker) that are (suppressing laughter)coming soon.

I initially bought it just for sorting things, because it was a cheap 10 car. It turned out to be too convenient to pass up so I kept it.

Almost assuredly the pilot was straight red but not everyone in the helicopter was, which is why you got a mental state bump. Counterpoint: Who gives a gently caress whether or not your mental state goes up or even cares what it is?

nah, I saw em all having an impromptu deathmatch up at Trevor's airfield. All four were full red.

all four were pissed. They saw me coming but they didn't expect to get hit on the second shot. Deal with it, nerds :v:

Fffffffff I'm trapped at work and could use the extra funbux for the massive MANPAD and prox mine ammo bill I've been ringing up. :homebrew:

Is there a way to find the right 250k challenges or do you just gotta get lucky and find a recent one with that amount?

I moved out of Alta St. and bought the house in Vinewood Hills, because you get a garden and a swimming pool. Sure, it's only a 6 car garage, but between that, my second house in Paleto Bay and my 10 car garage by the airport I reckon I'm covered for space for cars I'll hardly ever drive.

Total luck. When you do one and finish up, sometimes it's gone from the list when you immediately try and launch it. If there are none listed, try switching sessions or going back to SP and relaunching MP.

:spergin:ASK ME ABOUT MY TOTALLY REALISTIC ZIPLINE-BASED ZOMBIE SURVIVAL PLAN & HOW THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL VIDEO GAME GENRE HAS BEEN "RAPED BY THE MAINSTREAM":spergin:

BitBasher posted:

AWD cars even have varying levels of power distribution to front and rear wheels depending on the model, which is why you can get the Elegy and Sultan to do 4 wheel burnouts but the 9f never will, because the Sultan and Elegy have a much closer distribution of power to front and rear, rather than the 9f which is like 80% rear.

Fake edit: ...And gently caress I wrote a phone book.

It's quite weird you say that because as much as I love the 9f, it fishtails wayyyy to much for me. I even think one of the cars you mentioned is my actual primary car because of the power distribution. I HATE having all the power in the back of a car that's about as long as my character is tall.

But I don't really notice because it's become muscle memory for me. When I think about it I use everything I can when I race, I'm just so zoned I can't remember exactly how I drive so well. Which doesn't really matter because for some reason I always want to play the game in a... state of mind, where I can't race that well.


Also I've been seeing talk of a property with a helipad on it? Can you use this as a garage?



Important question: which property is closest to a mod shop, ammunation and all the other essential stores and also has a ten car garage?

Apologies to LLJK goons who may have been getting race invite spam from me tonight - I'm trolling pubbies and grinding race wins by running 1 lap no contact races so the lobby turnover is pretty frequent.

I've been watching tour videos, and are the new high-end apartments not having clear bedroom windows some sort of bug? I was thinking of moving into one since I like the layout better but having blocked windows sucks.

BTW, he does have a son that age and a daughter that has the same mom (I only say that because he's been married a few times and has a bunch of kids). Her name is like is Addison or Aisha or something - which is the same name he was calling the person in the background last night.
