Schwimmwagen. Bought one in beige for the recent seasonal but had to modify it for it to be competitive. Not wanting to modify it in the first place, I decided to go the opposite direction; completely over-the-top visual modification (in addition to the mechanical it needed)!
I planned to start with some bling rims but the game denied that change so I painted it candy apple red, which suited the beige wheels quite nicely...BUT, it also painted the spare wheel up front red. D'oh.
Following that disappointment, I attempted to repaint the car in its original colour but sure enough you don't receive a chip when buying the Schwimmwagen. I proceeded to find the nearest matching beige from my list of chips to rectify my mistake but the body didn't match the wheels particularly well.
Completely dejected now, I sell the car to recoup some of my losses and put the funds towards another Schwimmwagen but the car cannot be "sold", merely "deleted". FML.
Long story short, I'm well and truly out of pocket but I have a new, stock, beige Schwimmwagen. Lesson learnt lol.
