there's quite a few repeat missions on solo mode. repeated the laced weed part w Trevor but he shot clowns not aliens, repeated the cab company mission where u fight the motorcycle gang,repeated the sex tape mission, and one other. so actually yeah they do have repeat missions. and I passed all those missions first time, some gold.

I'm 45 percent done w the game but I have a feeling it may end soon. dunno how soon tho. Trevor killed someone and kidnapped his wife so they hiding out.

I didnt know if you took your original whip to Los santos customs that it'll save and be like that forever. so franklin and micheals whip is updated to the max , everybody rockin ponsbys lol.. I think I unlocked all driving mods.. one thing I'm good at in this game.

car drives so much better updated..I got like 4-5 cars in each garage but I'm sticking to my normal car now, shit is dope.

ALMOST bought a 750,000 spot w micheal I got him hella rich somehow think it's the investing. I need a extra I do got like 29 more missions tho so who knows

nuttkase u playin online or solo? I swear I'm the only one on story mode, had this fake 6 weeks still haven't beat it, 28 hours on the game clock.

Story mode, like 55% completed. I've only made a character for online and that's it for that. I'm sure I'll jump on at some point once they fix the majority of the glitches and bugs but the online play wasn't the main selling point for me so it's kinda like whatever, a bonus.

I'm about 55% too. Wonder if were on the same spot in the game or different spots. I'm not playing online either tho. I'm gonna finish the game first. I haven't been playin the game often until last week. Prolly how you're as far as me lol

ay if i drive my car out the garage (at franklins house), will i lose it if i dont bring it back to the garage? just wondering cuz i customed my car so fucking much. its not the car thats always in front of your house, just a car i stole then customed to the max and threw in my garage. sometimes i dont see it in the garage and itll reappear, im guessing it goes to my other car garage. ive lost a few so i want to make sure i dont lose this one cuz i put like close to an estimated 75,000 if not more in it..id like to drive it but i really dont wanna lose the shit being in the middle of a mission and having to drive a different car or leave my car. let me know

like for instance i just took one of my bikes out the garage to a mission. the mission calls for me having to ride a ATV and ditch my bike. is this shit gonna be lost forever now? or will it reappear back in the garage? if not damn i can only take my whip out for a joyride then bring it back?

cant risk losing this dope ass car. ill take a pic of it soon.

I know if you have to switch vehicles during a mission, it will respawn near you afterwards. But if a car gets lost while out in free roam, it will be impounded and you can buy it from the impound lot for dirt cheap (note it only saves your 2 most recent lost cars). If the car is destroyed though, i am not sure it appears at the impound.

I maxed out this rich ride and stored it at michaels house, took it on the family dr visit and had to ditch it so everyone could fit in the same car. Needless to say it never showed up again, I was hella pissed.

just buy a los santos customs, then any car you bring to that los santos customs you own you can put any mod you want for free. i recommend buying it for franklin though. hes the only one that can bring a car past the GTA5 speed cap of 130mph, and you have to use his special ability to do that

i just used the 250,000 i had from robbing stores to upgrade my jaguar fully, lol. next is the dominator. love that muscle car sound. honestly all my fav cars are ones you can get free or cheap. the jag (ocelot jackel), the maserati quatroporte (lampadati felon), and the mustang (vapid dominator), and of course the bati 801

The jackal is one of the best four doors in the game, imo. I just pimped it out to the max. Fuck, everytime I go to LS customs I end up spending all my money. I had about $375,000 two days ago, then got down to $6,000 total after mods lol. I can't stop spending once I'm there. $25K for bullet proof tires, $30K for turbo, another $25K for engine, shit adds up so quick

can you even buy a los santos customs on story mode? im 55% done and thats not an option. its like a smoke shop, a airport hangar,a golf course, a bar, a movie theatre, a wrecking yard, and two others. does that open up at a specific time or something?

and to my knowledge certain characters can only buy certain spots. like itll give certain people options to buy areas and certain people dont have the option. example given i tried to buy smoke on the water with trevor and it told me to return with franklin.

id talk about where i am in the game but technically it might be a spoiler for nuttkase were around the same area in the game either that or he did more side things than i did, i got 40 something missions out of 69 done.

the muscle car i stole from the standoff with the cops and the robbers might be one of the sickest cars ive found in the game so far.im guessing alot of these cars i never even seen man, when we stole those two cars for molly and the other dude those cars were so sick, never seen them on the streets. i see alot of the same cars.

im trying to figure out how certain shit gets unlocked in the game..like do guns get unlocked through doing a specific thing? does shit at the customs get unlocked through driving, or is it after youve bought up the lower level things?

and whats the difference between the missions available being small, big, orange or green? ive figured green means you can do it, but ive also done orange ones too. sometimes i gotta return with a different character to do a mission. i get it for the most part but sometimes its confusing.

just pulled a heist and everyone got 400,000 so i can buy these properties i never bought for certain people. if i could buy a los santos customs i would..

im either gonna go online and find some of these cars the cheat way or ima spend all day riding around for rare cars. i guess i could buy them at the website if i want something different. stealing a million dollar car may be too easy and thats why they arent available all day

the armored trucks are hella easy now, i pick off the dude before the money even gets in the car mostly. got away the other day with one star for knocking off the armored truck guy, stealing the money and jumping in my car. i dunno how i only got 1 star shit was classic

^ good shit. dunno how i did some orange missions with franklin tho. sometimes i be thinkin anyone can do the orange ones. but that sounds about correct

one other question is there any way to save your game outside of switching characters till you find someone near the house, or driving all the way to a house?sometimes i wanna save and its like, theres a mission at the save house. or they got me doin some long ass 25 minute mission i dont have time for.

recently ive thanked fucking GOD micheal can save at trevors pad. being all the way across the map and having to drive back to save is some fucking bullshit. thats why i got all these fast ass cars, i hit the gas to the max goin to a save spot smh

one more thing now that i think abtt it i know i got hella questions. but does skipping a mission do anything negative? sometimes i hate a mission but im afraid of skipping cuz i dont wanna fuck shit up.
