Dammit. Hopefully the game retains the parts I already for that car. His kid just took it from me yesterday.

What happens isn't terribad- it's just... questionable on the wheels. The rest of it can stay.

Agreed. Not absolutely horrible, but it annoyed me to the point that I didn't use the thing.

Still haven't flown the military planes yet. I'm trying to finish all the story first before jumping into the sweet, sweet dessert-like insanity.

And I wasn't even thinking, but if you modded Mike's car before, I bet the mods you purchased are still checked off in the shop.

I hadn't messed with the car before his kid grabbed it, but his son's modifications all showed up as purchases within the shop. I bet its as easy as just re-selecting the parts you'd already bought.

Apparently, and I dont have the game, the only cars you should customize are the ones you own own. I think there are three or something. The others can disappear, and disappear more than just the impound lot. So just beware spending millions on a car

ALSO true. I kinda wish there was places I could bring cars- a chop shop. I tend to end up in good cars.

Have you bought the scrapyard yet? I have, but haven't really done anything else with it, or bothered to look around there.

I love that after I finally got iFruit running on my iPod Touch, I now get notifications that Chop the dog took a dump.

I bought a E36 M3ty garage with franklin, and the dusty airport with trevor- that's it.

The cab depot? Accepting some of the eccentric fares can be good for a laugh, and reminded me of the some of the weird customers I drove around during my couple months as a cabbie.

Interesting learn of the evening. I rolled a truck onto its hood in midair, and it hit directly on the engine on a bigass rock. I died...as it blew up.

I did the same thing once. except I landed squarely on top of a propane tank. It did not explode immediately, just when I thought I survived after a few seconds it exploded.

My Trevor character is pretty accident prone. I have died with him about 5x more than the other two guys. Hes probably my favorite character, his commentary while running over animals is amusing.

protip: windowless dajiban van...I am told it is a bodyshop option, not a windowless van you find on the street.

Those of you who have nabbed one of the military planes.........how? It seems regardless of my tactics, I can't get in one before I get blown to bits by a rocket.

I also guess you can't fly any of the big passenger planes from the airport?

The bank heist in Palmetto Bay was awesome. The Mini Gun rules.

I think you have to finish the flight school before you can fly these.

There is a free for the taking Buzzard attack helicopter (mini gun / rockets) on top of a government building. If you look back a couple (ten) pages you'll see I posted a map and directions.

I just had to steal a cargobob (freight helicopter thing) in preparation for a heist. I entered the army base at the west entrance after I decided there wasn't an easier way to sneak in.

Hit the gate at full speed, drove straight in to the base, and slid the truck right up in front of the copter near the door to provide some cover, I got out of there with only very minor loss in health (you get 4 stars when you enter the base). you could probably do the same to get a jet if they have them there, just scope it out and figure out where they are parked before you blast through the gate. And don't stop the truck right in front of the plane I guess blocking your exit. I hear its easier to snag one that has an open cockpit to speed up your departure.
