how does one get 1.8 mil to start with?

Buzzard is level 42 http://imgur.com/a/PPVHV

Yep, Fuji got it. Pretty sure they're ER34 stockies

it's waiting for the gate that gets me

yar i think it's easier to just wait till it gets crushed then claim it by insurance, near impossible to steal it back out of the impound lot

look for the Range Rover Evoque looking things or these Quattroporte convertible things to save. Will fetch 9k each sale at LSC

yeah sometimes you will get a bounty for stealing npc cars. Stole some guys Escalade and got a 1k bounty on me

OP car does look like that wrecked one. Both silver, spoiler, similar wheels, rego sticker in the 3/4 window. Anyone else reckon?

haha another tattoo collector! I'm trying to unlock the angel back piece. Says "win every competitive game type" or something, have no idea what that entails. Racing ones will be a bit of a chore too, oh and there's one for like 50 kills with vehicle bombs, no idea how i'm gonna manage that.

your mate?

If you've been 'kicked' for no apparent reason, it's possible you just timed out

yeah i think when you steal one of the cars on Simeon's list, a notification comes up on everyone in the lobby saying 'someone has taken the car' or something, and then you're highlighted on everyones' map. So yeah you are at risk of muppets just coming to smash up the car for no reason. Also has anyone come across a 'special crate'? Came up the other night. Not like the normal crate drops, I got a message saying "Special Crate dropping in 10 hours", then another one at "5 hours" then at "3 hours", then it never dropped. Googled it to see what's up and some people have gotten up to 25k and miniguns and shizz!!!! Kinda bummed I missed it

yeah i mentioned it a while back. You get 250k sometime this week at the next update. Then another 250k towards the end of the month. Only prerequisite is that you have played (or will play) at any point in time throughout the month of October.

try setting up an 'invite-only' session. Has anyone done 'Titan of a Job'? You get it from Lester at lvl 25, he asks you to get a helicopter, fly into the airport and steal a Titan transporter plane from Merryweather. Tried it with a friend, spent 20 minutes driving around the map looking for a helicopter. No freaking idea what to do.

Do solo races count towards unlocking performance upgrades for the cars? Anyone know?

Not sure if you'd go through Ferrari or someone else. I know Marranello Motorsports in Richmond builds them, or you might go through them to bring one in. There's one on carsales for 'only' (comparatively speaking) 300k

Apparently R* is giving out a half a mil 'stimulus package' to make up for the online issues!!!! Should arrive in two installments of $250,000; firstly at the next title update (sometime next week) and again towards the end of the month. http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/51565/grand-theft-auto-online-half-a-million-gta-stimulus-package-this.html

Rank 21, Social Club name is 'elementle'

yeah i farmed the Violent Duct mission for a couple of hundy. Payout has been nerfed from 9k to 3k now though (not sure if its been on Xbox yet, heard it was on PS3, imagine the patch it coming to xbox soon, haven't been on since last night). Bought one of the cheaper 10-car apartments. They all share the same model, just the views and exterior that change. Thought i'd save a 150k instead of going for the 400k apartment. And apparently i'm highest ranked in the SKAU crew, going by the social club website.

does it need to be a 300k one? or one of the 10 car garage ones? the cheaper 10 car garage ones are around 200k, that's what i was saving up for. Do they also have the heist planning rooms?

I know Violent Duct is unlocked from Gerald at level 15. I can usually make about 50 grand in a 2-3 hour session, just do missions when they come up and remember to sell a car to Los Santos Customs once a day. Head into the area around Michael's house and look for the Quattroporte convertible looking thing, should get $9,500

Plattsy's talking about online i think, not the character garages in single player that Leroy's talking about online free garage is actually a collectors edition freebie. as above; social club gives you Elegy and sawed off

yeah Social Club linked members get the GTR clone as well as a sawed-off shotgun from ammunition (i think) EDIT: for free

seeing as a few of you guys seem to be making big money? any tips? Only level 6/7 or something, only got a few hours in last night

So annoying how everyone in the online races doesn't actually race. All they do is try to spin you or knock you off the course. They all crash out anyway trying to take you out at full speed while you're slowing down for a corner. Just by driving smart and smooth, I end up winning almost all my races by a ridiculous margin cause the rest are back playing demolition derby, but it is annoying on the occasion that one idiot does manage to land a hit on you and take you out.
