Trying to outrun bounties can be a blast.
I always go for a helicopter then start doing bombing runs to get people on my back then land at the top of the construction building and try to buy my time up there. I haven't survived yet but it is always a good time.

whats fun is that you get one star, a big building to climb and only one way to get in and out through a step ladder then start tazing cops while coming up the ladder. your stars won't go up.

I dont even pay cops any attention anymore. haha
Same for other gamers if I am in a car. But if I am on foot and a player rolls up next to me they better establish their intentions or I will gun them down.

I only did this for an hour or so one day, going through different races. I ranked mostly by doing missions 2x. You get a lot of RP for killing enemies and then completing the mission. Once I started doing survivals, it was easy ranking and money. I still do missions, though, because they get better the higher you rank up.

Good to hear the stimulus hit. I didn't play last night, but have been looking for it. Was originally going to use it to buy a place, but got tired of waiting and bought a 10-car garage the other day. Now I can blow the stimulus on cars. I was a little peeved to discover that you can't just park any ol' car in your garage, though. Why the fuck would I want to buy a car when I can just find a car? Not very GTA-esque, if you ask me.

I can see both sides. A part of me says "It's called GRAND THEFT AUTO. Why the hell do I have to buy cars?", but then I realize that if all the cars were free, then the only thing we would spend money on is ammo and (usually) a one-time apartment purchase since we can't buy investment properties.

Few shots of my garage...





Hard to tell, but the left one is mine and is matte midnight purple...



I also have a Elegy, Bati RR, and the CL65 looking thing.

I see that, but there comes a point where money does nothing because you have so much. So why bother in the first place? If you like the game, you're going to play it without some incentive. It's like in SR2...I'm #2 on two leaderboards and can't get any higher (#1 is too far out). There's nothing to accomplish at all, but I still play because I like it.

Out of curiosity, since you mention "(usually) a one-time apartment purchase", if you have more than one place, can you put cars in the different garages, and thus have 20, 30, however many cars?

So what happens if you buy another place? Or is it a one-shot deal?

You get about half of the initial purchase price of your old place and your cars transfer to the new place.

Has no one been playing recently?
Got the app for my note2 so I have custom plates finally. username JohnnyFlack so the plates read FLAKJAKT

Newest addition to the garage is my Impreza on ce28s. Sold the laguna secca blue 7 series to make this addition. Needed a sedan so this worked great.


My Corolla 86 on crew color LMs rockin the crew logo I made for the DeFranko Family.


The rat rod pick up with the family crest again. Soon to chop the bed and completely remove the front grill and cowl.

Cool shot. This thing SUCKS are driving. Definitely a cruiser.


My 5 series on meisters.


Going to be selling the Boss 305 soon and join that illusive Coquette Club I hear about in hushed tones and whispers.

And if anyone else is interested in using that logo or joining another crew, not to rival azoo because I am apart of this crew as well, but this is the main crew I use since my local friends are on it and more will be joining soon.

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/...efranko_family
The DeFranko Framily


And TSXy, can you redo the Azoo logo to be an orange A with no background so it looks better on clothing? And p.s. how the hell do we put it on clothing? I have not tried yet.

I wish we could make a logo that said "I WISH THIS WAS MY ACURA" that we could put on our hoods. hahaha

I figured that was rockstars hand out for people saying they cant save up for nice cars. Shit is fast, I was surprised it was free.

I like my garage but I think the GT-R will be next to go. I rarely drive it and don't like having a car that everyone else does

Has anyone seen a Coquette in the wild, or is it only a purchase?

I've seen them driving around but you can't do anything with them (save, sell, or modify).

Agreed on having cars everyone does. That is why I picked up the Monroe as well as my Rat-Loader. Everytime I drive the rat rod pick up people try to take it. hahaha I need to put a bomb in that ignition.

A friend on-line says he plants bombs in motorcycles then leaves them like a bait car where he can watch from his apartment window.
People cant resist a Bati just sitting there. Stock is better because someone people bounce when they think its owned.

All of the cars you would actually want are purchase only . But that doesn't stop R* from having them drive around and taunt you with their existence.

Yeah, it won't last long. I took it because it was free, but it's still ugly, which means it will be sold eventually.

You could always just buy a garage without the apartment.

Because I will always and forever have something "better" if you don't. Sleep with that!

Joined the Coquette club. Wooo.

If you use the cf roof you can use the secondary color to change the roll cage alone.
I found this cool to go with a dark color car with crew color wheels and matching roll cage.

No, literally running around the smoke like an idiot. Found his car and tore it up just short of blowing it up. Only thing I could think of.
