Eh, I get pissed off if people blow up my car, insured or not. Its just such an annoying hassle to call up Mors and drive some crappy hybrid to the carpark. Don't know if Magima is the same.


Wouldn't it be much easier to call your mechanic and have him deliver your car to you after getting it replaced?

The Rhino ain't what it used to be, dude. Since rockstar nerfed it, the thing has become nothing more than homing launcher/fighter jet fodder.

I hate the mechanic. He used to always scratch my car, and even now with the whole "spawn out of thin air" thing civilians are too keen to go out of their way to dent it. As for the Rhino ... yeah you are right. Still a better chance of survival than in my Faggio scooter.

It's still possible to go on fun rampages in the Rhino. Provided, of course, there's nobody nearby who's decent with a Savage/Lazer/Hydra.

Uhh rank? Since when is there a rank needed to buy a vehicle? I think you mean you don't have enough money to buy a tank.
I'm pretty sure there is no rank needed.

Actually those types of people are fun. Fun to mess with that is. Play "dodge the missles" with them for a bit. You know... let them think they are going to get you.
Then you turn around and blast them out of the sky with a homing rocket. They never see it coming. The problem is positioning yourself just right.
Too close and they will swoop over you before you get a shot in.
Too far away and you have a risk of the burning wreckage careening toward you and crash landing ontop of your body when it falls out of the sky and kills you.

Tank requires a rank 70.

Well I will have to take your word on that. I recently tried to buy a tank from that military website and the comment of rank didn't even come up.
Just said I didn't have enough money so I couldn't afford it. And I am not level 70.

Yes there is. Rank 70, I believe.

Even if there was no rank, I don't have millions to throw around.

Correct. I plan on buying the tank. I have 2.5 milloons left but my rank is only 42 so no tank for me for a while.

That's a fancy pretty car. Tell me which session you are on so I can come bomb it and watch it explode.

Then I'd just proceed to slaughter you in a shootout...such is the fate of all who so much as put a dent in my cars. :evil: :p
I was on PS4 though. so...

And yeah, it's insured...I never drive my cars without insurance (not that I have a choice with more expensive cars anyways, but still). :p

Instead of driving there go to the interaction menu (select button on PS4...not sure what it is if you use Xbox or PC) and hit "retrieve personal vehicle." Easier than calling the mechanic.

But yeah, I get really pissed off when people blow up my cars...any time somebody does that, I go after them non-stop until I feel like I got an adequate amount of payback. :p

So in story mode, I hit a Ballas member with my car and the whole block goes apeshit. As I drive away I notice that one of them got in a firetruck and was following me.
A firetruck. :rofl:

It says it right on the picture of certain vehicles what level is required. Look at the Dubsta 6x6 - it's level 100, for instance.

GTA Online shouldn't even have tanks. Players are generally pussies if they use them. Hence, I am teaching myself to become an expert tank killer... With a heavy sniper....

So I mean could you just go on with a friend or two and set up an Akbar brigade for anyone who owns a tank? Just pull the Battlefield-approved Jihad Jeep maneuver and ram a C4 laden Faggio into a 2.5mil tank.

Nice. Meanwhile...my character has become a general gangster rather than being affiliated with any of them. Though in my RP idea for him (well, one of them anyways) he's from Davis, so his usual targets are the Ballas Families and Vagos. :p
Also, I officially now hate the Vagos more than the Ballas, for no particular reason. :p

My character was from the east coast, and at some point between TLaD and Online, the Lost do something to earn my character's hatred (yet to be decided) so when he met Lamar on LifeInvader, he saw it as an opportunity to chase the Lost across the US and gain some allies in fighting them. Soon after though he falls into the crime world and becomes one of the most feared professionals in the business :p

Since there was a Christmas sale and I managed to buy GTA V before the hackers kept me out of the Store, I bought the game for a low price with another part of the deal: you start off with $1,250,000 in Online, I decided my story would be that I was a retired mob boss. I had the clothes, and then I started lesser criminal activities to remind myself what it was like to be an underling. Gang attacks are still below me though. :p

Crap, I meant to say Families and Vagos...
I can't imagine the Ballas would let a Ballas-killer live in and roam the streets of Davis unscathed. :p

Anyways, nice story. :p
