Some adorable level 5 just saw me relaxing outside the tennis courts with my Vacca. He said he was sad about how he is poor and has to sleep in his garage. I felt bad so tuned a car for him so he could sell it for over 100K, safe to say he was pretty happy, and he actually said thanks :3

still got more cash than him

What's your secret?!

Hey, who would be up for some tennis match? I mean a competitive one, 5 sets and all. I don't mind how long it takes, as long as I'm having fun. :D Maybe we could create a GTP Grand Slam? 💡
 
Best 2 out of 3 sets. Within the game, advantage rule is played. Set is win by two unless you get to 6-6 where a tie breaker would be played.
 
Score 4 times and win by 2 to win a game
Win 6 games and win by 2 games to win a set
Win 3 sets to win a game

That's how it is in real Tennis IIRC

I believe R* followed those rules. So if the game is tied at 5-5 who wins 7 games wins the set.. But I believe there has been 7-6 if I'm not mistaken... let me research..

Wikipedia
At a score of 6–6, a set is often determined by one more game called a "twelve point tiebreaker." Only one more game is played to determine the winner of the set; the score of the set is always 7–6 (or 6–7). Points are counted using ordinary numbering. The set is decided by the player who wins at least seven points in the tiebreak but also has two points more than his opponent. For example, if the score is 6 points to 5 points and the player with 6 points wins the next point, he wins the tiebreak and the set. If the player with 5 points wins the point, the tiebreak continues and cannot be won on the next point, since no player will be two points better than his opponent. In scoring, sometimes the tiebreak points are also included, for example 7–6 (7–5). Another way of listing the score of the tiebreak is to list only the loser's points. For example, if the score is listed as 7–6 (8), the tiebreak score was 10–8 (since 8 is the loser's points, and the winner must win by two points).

The player who would normally be serving after 6–6 is the one to serve first in the tiebreak, and the tiebreak is considered a service game for this player. The server begins his service from thedeuce court and serves one point. After the first point, the serve changes to the first server's opponent. Each player then serves two consecutive points for the remainder of the tiebreak. The first of each two-point sequence starts from the server's advantage court and the second starts from the deuce court. In this way, the sum of the scores is even when the server serves from the deuce court. After every six points, the players switch ends of the court; a noticeable fact is that the side-changes during the tiebreak will occur in the middle of a server's two-point sequence. At the end of the tiebreak, the players switch ends of the court again, since the set score is always odd (13 games).

An alternative tie-break system called the Coman tie-break is sometimes used by the United States Tennis Association. Scoring is the same, but end changes take place after the first point and then after every four points. This approach allows the servers of doubles teams to continue serving from the same end of the court as during the body of the set. It also reduces the advantage the elements (e.g. wind and sun) could give playing the first six points of a seven point tiebreak on one side of the court.
 
Will the guy standing in front of Los Santos Customs in a Vinewood please stop shooting at me. I just want to paint my damn car.

Meanwhile, I drive out to Sandy Shores to customize my cars. It's a slight inconvenience, but it saves the frustration of having some annoying child kill you.

I use the airport one or the other one under the highway, near the docks. Especially the airport one since I moved to Weazel Plaza, it's just 2km away from my house.
 
We need the ability to own more than one property. I want to buy a mansion and two garages.

I'd also enjoy an RC helicopter that I can operate from the safety of my own home, and see what other players are doing, while not having to actually spectate them. It's annoying watching through a limited set of camera views. Plus, an RC helicopter can get into locations a full-size helicopter like a Buzzard can't fit in.
 
There's a 6 car garage in Sandy Shores if I remember correctly. If you want to get real remote, try 2 cars in Paleto Bay.

I was really hoping for an apartment in Paleto Bay, because its so far away from everyone else and it has a bit of a slower pace, despite being connected to a highway. Sandy Shores just... has a bad feeling to it. Too many crazy rednecks and murderous, drug running hillbillies. The rest of LS is just tanks and rolling chrome bombs (Adders and Entity XFs).

Plus paleto has campgrounds, stores, and a great view of the ocean.
