Let's just say you don't buy the Rat Loader or the Slamvan for how they perform...

...For how they look, however.

I don't think I have any visual modifications on either except for paint and wheels on the Rat Loader.

@Katiegan have you tried the slamvan?

Not yet, I only drove it for a short time in story mode to see if I liked it or not. I only had one garage space left so I went for the Rat Truck, but I may just have to purchase a third property and check it out... :p

Really? Hmm. I thought you needed to shoot the wheels to get your car fully lowered, then you're able to drift.

Shooting the wheels to slam the car has nothing to do with drifting, it's just for cosmetics. If people are doing it for drifting, then there's no need. :lol:

I definitely bought my Rat Truck for the looks rather than how it performs. It's a cruiser to me, so it performs plenty well enough for what I want it to do.

I like the Jester Racecar.

Yeah I agree. But now people are using the back to shield themselves. I should have learned from that thread when some guy complained about people driving the Zentorno when people use the back to defend themselves. In matter of fact, I've been seeing this happening more after the latest update. Day one in the Festive Surprise, someone whooped my 🤬 driving the Infernus or aka the Pokemon car because the GTA IV Infernus model's rear lights looks like PokeBalls. He used the back to defend himself.

Of course explosives would be an option but only if you don't mind about paying for the car's insurance and losing money or if you like being a bad sport.
 
Did a quick search on the GTA Forums and it said that you'd have a dunce hat and in the players lobby you'd be labeled as a bad sport..

I'll start playing in like half an hour.. :)

In just about every drifting tutorial I've seen, they say to shoot the wheels until the car is slammed. Something about how it alters the cars handling so it can slide.

How did you learn to drift in this game? I'm just curious. Was it on your own or from someone else?

Hm, that's strange then. Never had to do that myself.

I taught myself just by dicking around, really. The Futo really is the best car to drift. All I do is pick up some speed, turn in the opposite direction of the turn for probably a millisecond, then steer hard into the direction of the corner while hitting both the brakes and handbrake hard, then let off and floor it. With GTA's physics and automatic-only gearbox it is a little hard to master though. Sometimes the gearbox shifts up and you lose all momentum.

Which is precisely why I want a manual transmission mode. I don't need the cinematic camera, and if you're driving a manual car in real life, you can't shoot (very often), so I wouldn't miss losing square to switch weapons.

Plus most videos tell you, install 100% armour and lvl5 engine, turbo, etc. I don't have half the stuff they mention. :indiff:

Install 200% armour, level 6 engine and transmission, super fly brakes, gold chrome (pure) and also dollar sign wheels, otherwise it just won't work. At all.

Also smash that like button and subscribe because it's what my dead hamster would've always wanted.
