The following is a true story with the no point ... The names of the real cars have been changed to their GTA counterparts.

So on my road trip home I noticed there were quite a few vans on the roads... I chuckled to myself..wow a lot of vans spawning I thought.. And then things got all GTA... An actual Sandking XL passes going the opposite way.. I continue driving.. I end up behind a Dillitante... The road has no real place to pass so I just back off...I glance off to my right..a very clean Rebel.. Moments later I see an opportunity to pass ..as I downshift a car approaches an intersection ahead...it's Franklin's Buffalo! It turns and drives on but my opportunity to pass is gone..back to slow driving mode...after a few more minutes a Dominator races up to our slow moving convoy and is clearly on a hurry.. I decide that this guy is riding a little too close and I need to get around the little hybrid.. As soon as I spot a stretch of road that is suitable to pass I launch! I can say with a fair amount of certainty that that Dominator driver has seen very few Blistas running boost and was definitely not expecting such power from mine..because apparently he had the same idea..he had put his foot down to race around the "two tiny imports" only to find mine blazing a path in front off him and pulling away fast (most likely he hadn't gotten much done at LSC).
We both continued to drive in a very "spirited" manner until we came to a red light and parted ways... As he was pulling up next to me he gave a nod and thumbs up.. I nodded back and waved then continued on home. The rest of the way home I thought 30mins of my life was GTA'd.. Life imitating art imitating life
 
So... You were playing with other players?

And when you say you saw Franklin's Buffalo, was it actually his unique Buffalo, or did you just mistake it for a regular one?

This is a real life scenario playing out like a GTA session
I was actually driving home from working out of town and every vehicle seemed to be one that had a GTA version ... The Charger a.k.a Buffalo was a unique one including the fact that it had a vented hood/aftermarket wheels and a custom paint job...it could have easily been the GTA world

I've been playing GTA Online again recently and I've got to say the Jester and the Turismo R are my two favorite vehicles.

Especially the Turismo R.
 
I'm glad there people other than me who likes the cars, not just because they're fast, but because of actual reasons. I like the Entity for it's looks and little bit for the sound, but when I tell that, nobody believes me.

I drive a 1st gen Oracle on a regular basis.. Not my fastest.. Only because I love it

I like the way the Turismo R starts up, with the multiple revs. But I really like that the Jester and the Turismo $ don't lose speed between gear changes because of the hybrid power.

Oh. Derp.
 
I like cruising around in my stock (except for a window tint so it doesn't appear to be so empty) Granger. It has more than enough power to merge onto the highway with authority, and enough length and mass to punt any unfortunately-placed cars out of its path; not that I do that, because I like undamaged cars. The weird thing is that when I do get careless and hit something, it doesn't look that ugly, almost like it's supposed to have a huge scratch running across that wheel arch. It doesn't look too bad when after accumulating a sheet of dust, either. In general, it's a pretty good vehicle for cruising and not worrying about appearance like I do in my other cars.

And it's extremely tough
 
Another story based in Los Santos.

Cop2020 starring Franklin as Officer Edwards
Coquette as Automacop

Automacop sat in traffic with Officer Edwards at the wheel, the engine sat rumbling as he waited for the light to turn green. Suddenly, a green SUV pulled out at high speed and narrowly avoided a public bus.

Automacop (AC): "Perp located"
Edwards (OE): "I see them, enter pursuit mode."
AC: "Yes sir."

With that the car, which was previously limited to Automasteer, became under Edwards' control. The officer slammed the throttle pedal down and the car roared forward, after the SUV.

They passed through the tunnel and came out at a crossroad, the SUV narrowly missed a pickup going into the nearby construction site.

The cop was in the hunt and managed to hold a slide round the bend. straightening the car, Edwards pinned the throttle once more and came up beside the perp.

Criminal 1 (C1): "Ah darn, it's that new robot police thing!"
Criminal 2 (C2): "Oh come one, I told you we should have taken the Add-"

The criminal's words cut short by the SUV being rammed by Automacop, which caused the SUV to hit a wall. Both criminals weren't injured but the car was stuck, however, as Edwards stepped out of the car and made his way over to the SUV, they broke free and got a head start again.

Edwards sprinted to Automacop and gave chase again.

AC: "Well... That was embarrassing..."
OE: "Could have... Y'know, boxed them in, no?"
AC: "No. I am programmed to Asimov's laws of robotics. I shall not inflict harm to any human."
OE: "I hate machines..."

During the conversation, the SUV was in sight, this time it was Automacop who had the plan.

AC: "Sir, although I cannot harm a human, I can give you advice on how best to harm them."
OE: "Go on..."
AC: "Well, these perps are wanted dead or alive, with 14 murders, 7 counts of drug trafficking, 100 traffic offences and 1 overdue library book, so rather than lose them, you could easily neutralise them."
OE: "How?"
AC: "Sticky explosives. Stick one to their car, this will allow for both tracking, as it will flash, and it will mean they have no means of escape as it is easily detonated."
OE: "I take it back, I love machines."

The plan was in place. the SUV slammed into a taxi, slowing it down and allowing Edwards enough time to throw a sticky grenade on to the back of the SUV, then ram the SUV into a wall. Boxed in, or so Edwards thought. As he reached for the handle, the SUV sped off again.

Automacop tracked it and led Edwards to the SUV, which he subsequently rammed again, this time with a lot more force. So much so the passenger slumped forwards, lifeless. The driver left the car and ran, but had officer Edwards on his tail.

The officer followed the perp down the back of a building, where he stunned the perp. On the floor, he jolted as the current ran through his body. Edwards looked at the criminal, pulled out his radio and said "Perps down. Log 1337M473, one fatality, another Shock and Injury. Mission control, I got them."

And with that, he drove off down the chaos stricken street.

AC: "I think, all things considered, that ended well."
OE: "Not so much for them."

I had way too much fun doing this on GTA...
