This vehicle cannot be used with the carwash.

You know what would be cool?
If, when you set a waypoint, then switch characters, instead of the character you've just left immediately taking the next turn or even doing a 180 the second you switch away, regardless of whether they're on a tight road with blind corners or even right across the freeway, they actually just carried on towards the waypoint.

Had a random glitch, driving as trev, switch to frank who is in my army lorry driving round, having to head way up state to get a trailer for it cos before, switching away from frank earlier, I lost it, but that was like an hour ago. I'm manoeuvring the two of them together and as trev I can't see frank. where he should be is a lorry with a big blue container trailer on it. oh, that is frank, somehow a trailer has appeared redface
doesn't match my lorry though, it looks best with a flat bed or a uhm.. off-white container.

still don't know how I'm going to save it.

and then... as trev, trying to catch up with frank, I see frank ahead so I slow down but I'm in a truck now with logs, I wanna put logs on my army truck, but I overshoot and suddenly see another army truck on the road eek but turns out that one is frank, with one of these white containers and the other one with the blue trailer is just.. there stopped in the freeway. redface

Just discovered you can almost stop time whilst in the cinematic camera, by clicking R3 to enter slowmo - then adjusting the right stick. Pretty cool. thumbup

I did a yellow/black combo on Trevs truck last night and I'm fairly sure it all went yellow. Patina and all.

Providing it hasn't fallen prey the garage glitch I'll have a check later to see

Mine now seems to have gone back to red, although it's retained all other mods.

I'm gonna try storing my army truck outside the vanilla unicorn!

Got one back to the <place> and parked the lorry up, had dropped the trailer during a switch earlier (seems to happen a lot) and parked just the cab. jumped out and straight into trev's truck (now re-repainted) and drive off.
Switch to Frank who's half a mile away and drive his lorry in only to see see the one trev parked is gone :hithead:
But somehow there are two of Trev's truck confused.
Anyway, then I accidentally decide the two of them are going to "hang out" and end up doing that in the lorry, go back to save it in the <place> and find trev's truck now has the trailer that I dropped earlier attached to it.
It don't move though. Probably cos the front of the trailer is dragging on the ground redface

Also the one I just parked up has dissapeared even though I was barely 10ft away ¬_¬

ok only been playing a few days but read a lot of the thread.

i'm at the point where i've just got the gear together for a heist and there doesnt seem to be any way of progressing without going to see lester [forst assasination mission]. i thought i could do all these after the main mission to make more cash on the stocks?

Got to do the first one to progress the story arc. The rest can be saved for whenever.

Do it, it's worth it. wink

cheers. just spent an hour doing the packae glitch ready to make an investment.

however the bawsaq is down for maintenance. is this not supposed to work offline as well? i don't have an xbox live account but otherwise it makes the game rather pointless given this is the main way of making serious cash. need some decent wheels for franklin and a tank for trevor!

uh, bawsaq doesn't work offline.
idk if it will work with only free membership (you would guess not but you never know).
Stupid isn't it? You should email rockstar and tell them.

no need for the sarcasm, i'm sure i'm not the only casual gamer. references have been made here t bawsaq working offline.

having just nicked a jet and bought trevor the army heli i can't see a need for golf course level money myself now. just spunked $2m buying michael some cars instead of playing the stocks.
