Side note- I love grms new photo upload feature. it climbs well. It is fast, to the point it may be the fastest offroader.  I need to run it against a a trophy truck. It is very stable. It doesn't want to tip easily at all. Sort of a bitch when it does go tits up, but that's it. As echoed before, it does not want to stop. The brakes are terrible. Doesn't really like to turn either. I believe this to be symptomatic of the tire physics it was given .  Great in dirt, E36 M3 on pavement. 

 

Also, as seen, you can paint it like 'merica. There's a large pile of exterior mods that can be done as well. 345k buy in, 800ish fully kitted.

In my tradition of being behind, I bought a Streiter last night. Painted it yellow. I like it a lot.

I'm loving the Kamacho also, and I finally scooped up an Avenger. The autopilot is disappointing- it doesn't actually autopilot but just auto hover.

I'll get one eventually . The offensive capability is somewhat limited, and already owning an moc makes it fairly redundant.

Friend of mine bought one, he's crashed it or been shot down every time he's tried to use it.

I've been told that launching an Oppressor out the back of the Avenger makes it worth the price of admission. I held off for a while because like you said, it's pretty redundant if you have an MOC. I wish you could load any vehicle into it not just weaponized vehicles, and use it for I/E deliveries.

I felt really good about myself yesterday when I was being chased by a deluxo in a van loaded with bunker supplies and managed to take him out by lobbing a sticky bomb in his general direction.

That's actually pretty impressive. Deluxos are the new trouble maker. 

 

I actually had some fun earlier. Xb1 gamertag Kermit apes took out some of Rico's delivery. I was running Escort in said deluxo. So I took out kermit, his friend, and Kermit again while Kermit was in a lazer. He got mad and started with the name calling. I politely informed him that he shouldn't be crying over a l/d ratio if he was picking fights he wasn't prepared to lose. He then started with the swears and the racial slurs, so I decided m$ should see it. He'll have fun being banned.

I know own a bunker and its upgraded. I have not done any research yet with it and have not gotten a MOC yet. I will get one soon but I did get a Wedge the other day to go with a boxville and the wastelander which is very fun to play with for offroading where you can run the entire river from the alomo sea to the outlet neat the airbase in the river with it.

I did learn the other day that you can not get out of a car and trade with someone else for doing car sale for export. I had two cars catch fire and blow up and then later I had a car start on fire about 20mints later and blow up for no reason.

The good news of the car stealing is that the mission you have to steal the car off the boat is no longer in the lineup, for some reason the new update caused it to not work right and it was taken out of the game. I was womdering why I had not seen that mission come up at all. 

I really have to say I am getting really tired of the car steam missions, I am not sure what is worse sometimes, the steaming for the hanger or cars for being annoying at times.

You had cars blow up a few times with us. Those times you had a button hanging or something due to dying batteries.

The hanger doesn't pay E36 M3, so it's worse. 

Steal or buy a cargo Bob to help with the vehicle steals, and remember the NPCs mirror your inputs when you're on your runs, so try not to swerve around them our stop short.

I have been trying cargobobs the steal missions for cars. I keep getting shot down or crashing the bob into the car when i drop it and do lots of damage or flip it over and can not get it back upright.

How do you get shot down? Other players or NPCs? My method is to kill the NPCs in the area first or if its cops then I have Lester on the line and as soon as I get the wanted level I "remove wanted level" and then I have no issue. For the ones where you have to steal off the boat, fly straight up as high as you can go until the NPC helos are directly underneath you, then hammer forward directly towards the warehouse. The NPC helos can't shoot at you because they are nose down trying to keep up. The only one I have issues with is when you have NPC "security" chasing you in a helo.

Follow my guidance...
-For "beat the time" missions, beat the race then call in your 'bob BEFORE you get in the car you won. Fly back, hook up, fly up as high as you can then pitch forward straight at the Vehicle Warehouse (VWH).

-For "security guard has a key" missions, stealth is the main objective. Land the 'bob nearby, stealthily pop the guards with silenced weapons and make sure they are not in sight of another guard or person. Get the key, drive the car out, pick it up and fly away. Even if you do catch heat you can usually get away from them if you focus on flying low and fast.

-For "crime scene" missions, pull up your phone and call Lester before entering the crime scene (either on foot on in the 'bob). As soon as your wanted level pops up, select "remove wanted level" and you will have no problems.

-For "DUI" missions, same concept. Have Lester on the line as you hook the car.

-"Car chase" missions are tricky. You need to land close enough that you can see the car, without triggering the chase. Snipe the driver, get the car, THEN remove your wanted level. Otherwise you will get a 3-star wanted level both when you shoot the driver AND when you collect the car.

-"Movie stunt", "photo shoot", "street race" and "not abandoned car" missions CAN be done stealthily and not attract attention, but it's hard. Your best bet is to snipe the guards/ gang members from afar, then move in and scoop up the car with the 'bob. Then make a bee-line for the VWH.

-"Car bomb" missions can be completely avoided if you grab the car with the 'bob and never get in it.

-"Race track" missions are as simple as blocking the exit, sniping the driver, and taking the car.

-"Offshore" missions are tough, but my method is proven to work. Land 'bob somewhere nearby and call in your CEO Buzzard if you have one. Fly over the boat and using homing rockets kill all the guys on the boat. If you don't have a Buzzard you'll have to snipe them. Now, grab 'bob and hook the car. Fly STRAIGHT UP as high as you can until the buzzards they send after you are directly beneath you. Then bee-line it straight to the VWH.

Any missions I've missed?
