alright, rant time.
wanted to squeeze in an hour or so before I had to go do stuff... go to put a car in my garage and says its full, so you pick a car to delete. The only one worth keeping is the Blista that owes me $50k, so i dont choose that one. Enter garage: the car i selected is there and the Blista is gone. my only modified car is deleted when I picked something else. argh. leave, come back, still gone. destroy intended car to make space in garage: still gone.
so steal a random car to sell and I get a bounty for $7000. lucky its an empty map so no dramas.
Decide to do a mission and its to pinch Lamar's friend from a van thats travelling on the main highway at full speed, and it spawns you the other side of Los Santos with no car... so you find a car and get onto the highway and the van is already at the other end of the island... 4 in game hours later and you catch up to them, only to find a guy in the back of the van with a machine gun. 5 secs of tailing and you're dead. Spawn again, and you're 100m from the freeway with no car and no easy way to get armour. repeat, shoot out 3 of the tyres and the van doesnt slow down *fark* eventually force the van into a pole, as your car goes past them a stray bullet hit me and died. so infuriated. tried this mission 3 times and what a waste of time. cannot be done single player without luck or a helicopter/plane to skip ahead of the van.
return to freeroam and still have $7000 bounty. 30secs and someone has hunted me down. oh well. drive back to garage, sell a vehicle for some cash and theres 2 blokes camping at Los Santos Customs waiting to pick me off and the money I just made. awesome.
bring on the payout. /rant
