First time the first person I played with left after the first job, another came but he quit after the first round of the 2nd job kicking me out since there wasn't enough players.

I need to test the bluetooth or whatever the hell headset I have with one of you at some point. Not sure I understand how it works. And the chord isn't long enough anyway, so it isn't exactly practical for use at the moment. But I can still test.

I think you have to drive them there yourself, but yeah. Though I've decided to sort mine. Luxury/sports/super cars in my 10-car garage, and trucks/muscle cars/other dinky things in the other.

Wouldn't they be missing when you buy the ten if they don't move to the free spots i have in my home garage ?

Wait, are you buying another property, or swapping one? Because swapping one sends the cars to the other garage, if you have them all next to each other in the garage anyway. But upgrading to a ten, it shouldn't matter. I had all my 6 cars transfer fine to my 6-car garage I moved into in my little house after deciding "Screw it" to my original apartment area. Now I have both that house AND an apartment, but yeah.

I only still have an apartment cause I have a lot of cars. I mostly use it as storage since I bought my little dream shack in the desert.

If you're selling the garage they're currently in, yes, they should switch over.
Just sell it in the process if buying the new one (where it forces you to sell one of your properties), as opposed to selling your garage first, then going through the process of buying a new one.

EDIT: also, they added a thing where you could call the cars that you have "in storage" (don't have the garage space for). So if for some reason you lost your cars, you should still be able to call them.
But yeah, none of that should really be a problem.

That reminds me, I have a question for you guys: if a car is upgraded to max acceleration with turbo + transmission or engine upgrades/vice versa, and there are still upgrades left, does adding them do anything?
I would assume they don't, but I thought I'd ask anyways.

Nope.
Which is why R* messed up by making Turbo unlock before the last 2 acceleration upgrades. Nearly every vehicle in the game will have nearly all, if not max acceleration after the upgrade.

Yup.

What's the big difference between speed and acceleration in the context of cars in video games? I remember the physics definition but I'm not clear on how it translates in this.

Acceleration: How fast a car can gain speed. Like how on Legendary Motorsports, it'll say in how many seconds the car can reach 60mph. The more acceleration the car has, the faster it can reach its top speed.
Speed: Essentially, how fast the car can go.

The problem is, both the engine upgrades and the transmission upgrades only add acceleration.
That's why people usually just buy the fastest vehicle they can get and max its acceleration.

By the way, you think they'll do something cool for Halloween?
