With a decent apartment now I decided on expanding my vehicle collection. Took some time as some vehicles took me days to come across... and it took me a while to paint m all brown, moehahahahahaha...errr, ok. Filled up my garage nicely though;




Weeny Issi, cabrio with hoodvent, custom exhaust, bumpers, skirts and rims. Excellent for city traffic, especially when navigating small alleyways.




Vapid Sandking XL, with custom bumpers, grille, extended fueltanks, roof attached sunvizor, huge custom rims and chrome rollbar. This one is great for rough terrain, and can handle huge jumps. Downside is it lacks some traction for the steepest of hills, so you'll need to floor it carelessly in the rough.




Annis Elegy RH8, free to order for social club members, don't really like it so I just painted it. It's fast though.




Karin Futo, one of my favorite cars from GTA IV online, turned it into a rally car with extra lights, rally bumpers and skirts, custom exhaust and rims, rollbar, racing seats, roof spoiler and large wing spoiler on the back. This car is all over the place, and one of the best cars for drifting in GTA Online.




Ubermacht Oracle 2, this one is listed as a coupe eventhough it originally was in the sportcars list. I use it as my jobs and crew car, as it is a fast 4-door. I've added custom bumpers, exhaust, grille and rims, and it has a turbo and several engine upgrades to make it suitable for its purpose. I drive it a lot, it's my workhorse.




Declasse Granger, one of the largest, but also fastest SUV's, hence you'll also see it used by police, FIB, park rangers and lifeguards, just with custom rims and fitting matte paintjob, it's great for mixed use both on and offroad.




Albany Buccaneer, my favorite cruising car from GTA IV, and I'm using it for the same purpose in GTA V. It has custom grille, bumpers, exhaust, rims and vented hood, next to being lowered as much as possible. It's a classic muscle car, and its age shows in comparison to it's modern adversaries. So not really suitable for races, but great for enjoying the landscape.




Benefactor Schafter, custom bumpers, skirts, grille, exhaust, spoiler and rims. Aside from looking good, this is one fast sedan. Great for long distance driving without having to cash in a million for a super or sports car.




Scorcher, this bicycle with front fork suspension has good traction, and its enhanced braking and acceleration makes it especially suitable for downhill racing and offroad cycling. Works wonders for your stamina.



That's it for now. Maybe some day in the future I'll abandon the brown tone spree, but first I need to save up for engine upgrades and a classic sport and super car.
This sure is one hell of an addictive game...

Nice garage. I'm waiting for the surplus money to buy a nicer apartment, or I'm just lazy lol. I still have one of the 2 car garage apartments.

I've been checking online, and it seems like all the 2 car garage apartments are the same, all 6 car garage apartments and are alike, and all 10 car garage apartments are alike. The price differences within each of the 3 kinds are just for location, and how good your view is. The cheapest 10 car garage apartment for example has its view blocked by highrises for example, the $270,000 ones has a nice view on the city, while the $400,000 one is on the highest floor of all, and has a view on vinewood. So there's just 3 different interiors for the apartments.

Yesterday, after a long evening of racing and spending like 100 K on upgrading the engines on 2 cars, I went sailing with an online buddy of mine after we found a couple of sailing boats.

I must say rockstar has got the water and wave effects down to perfection. We both went to first person view, and were sailing half speed for a smooth ride, the sun was setting, and it was almost magical how well the game looked and felt. Just slowely cruising in a sailboat for like an hour, and stilling having fun while we enjoyed both the coastal landscape and the open sea.

Nice Shilka, love the continuing colour scheme with the vehicles - very cool. So much left to do in this, I haven't even tried the sailing boats. I can imagine how beautiful that would be with a sunrise/sunset. Had loads going on lately so had no time to play xbox or anything really. Hopefully I'll be able to have some down time later this week and try a few new things. :)

Hehehehe, should be fun. Been wanting to try to land a plane on a train too, should be doable speed wise. Take off might be tricky though.

Yesterday was great fun btw, haven't laughed so hard in years.

A bit more news about the cash handout:

Rockstar said:
We know many of you are anxiously waiting for us to show you the GTA$ Stimulus Package money we announced a couple weeks back. As mentioned in that post, we of course want to ensure that game progress loss issues are sufficiently sorted before distributing the GTA$ to everyone. We have a few more tweaks and fixes to make in a new title update that will hit sometime next week and then we will distribute the cash.
Also, the (free) Beach Bum Pack DLC has been announced for early November, it will contain new beach themed vehicles, new weaponry, new character customization options and new jobs of all kinds.

The (free) content creator that you can use to make your own races and deathmatches has been announced for 'this fall'. Looking forward to that one!

The first social club event weekends for GTA Online are expected in November too (usually stuff like double RP weekends etc.)

News about GTA Online Heists and the capture the flag mode is expected next week.

And here's a nice stunt montage from machinima, shows you what's possible with a bit of vehicle control. Didn't know the transport heli could lift boats as well btw.

Nice vids Shilka, I lost my level 70 character a couple of days ago... :rolleyes:

Starting again is actually quite fun though (I must be mad)

No way....man that sucks big time... I thought they fixed that stuff, or did you press a wrong button or something?

Many races to be redone. Let me know whenever you want to earn some money and I'll jump in a race/mission with you :)


Further GTA V/online news:

Rockstar released some sales figures and announced that GTA V has sold nearly 29 million copies by now. That means it already surpassed GTA IV lifetime sales...

Rockstar also has announced a Snapmatic photo contest:
