I was enjoying a peaceful quiet night in Los Santos, running from the cops, hiding on the mountains, when I came across a beautiful sunset.

After the moon came out, and I found Mount Titty Nipple, I decided to descend into the city, and see what was what on the main thoroughfares.

After partaking in some under-world sky (land?) diving, I went to the movie studio lot.

And parked like an asshat.

When I came out, these were waiting for me.

DAT DASH

I took the browish gold one, because nostalgia, and took it immediately to Los Santos Customs, for some... custom touches.

That's right. Shaker hood, front spoiler, t-tops, and larger snowflake wheels. AND full engine and suspension upgrades as well. Can't leave those out.

It's my baby. I'm gonna cry if I ever crash it.

I wish they would implement the car insurance system from online to single player mode. It's a really cool feature and has saved my rides on many occasions.

This reminded me, I found the same car as Franklin. Took it to the Los Santo customs that I owned, modded it to my liking, kept it in black with gold wheels. Then I proceeded to do stupid jumps and some crazy driving on Blaine County by being chased by the law. The only thing missing was a truck for me to convoy with.

Would they just make a PC version already? I want GTA V so badly.

I'm desperately searching for this car online right now. Why does it have to be so friggin hard to find?! You'd think it would be the #1 car in the trailer trash park, but guess what? NOPE!

I've been playing it since release and have been everywhere on the map and am at 68% completion and just NOW found one.

Since so few cars spawn online, I don't think I'll ever find one. If only you could import single player cars into the online garages.....

2legit2quit. Also I know what I'm doing with my night now haha. But I feel I should warn you, its GTA V. You will crash that car. :/ but just rob some bank trucks and murder some prostitutes and you can repair it.

Every car I've spent money modifying has sat un-used in the garages, except for the main character vehicles.

My name is Takuro, and I am a hoarder.

Don't worry, it'll just vanish on you when you least expect it, as cars in GTA tend to do... :/

Seriously, I spent wekes looking for a mod for SA so that I could actually keep the car I wanted as opposed to finding a new one every time I went through a cutscene/door/misson etc.

lulz. Oh man. SO MUCH TIME SPENT LOOKING FOR THAT CAR ONLINE. My friend really really wanted it.

Finally we got it through a mission, something Broncos or something. Bad guys have it, and if you kill all of them and get into it at the end of the mission you appear back inside it in freeroam.

Also, I have one. If you're super desperate and still can't find one, friend me (limepie) on PSN. I figure if I get it out of my garage, you get into it and then I replace it in my garage with another car, you'll be able to keep it.

the first step is admitting you have a problem ...

Nah man I'm on xbox unfortunately... But anyways did that mission just now, took the car and killed the bad guy. ->Mission failed and I didn't get to keep the car :( FML

YES! I found one in single player almost immediately and it's very annoying that I can't use it online.

you should be able to retry the mission at some point. But yeah. I think when my buddy and I did it, we stole the car, hid it behind a bunch of buildings and then went back and got it just before we finished the mission. Good luck!!

I haven't done any vehicle duping yet myself, but from what I understand, you can do it like this:

You let your friend drive the car, and then you leave the session. The car in your friend's session now loses its tracker, and he is able to garage it himself. Your original car still has your tracker and is still in your garage.

I'm lone__stranger (with two underscores) on PSN, so if you want a clean BF Surfer or anything else duped, hit me up.

Kinja'd!!!

I found it in less than 20 min. All I is is go to the docks next to semion drop off and stay in the parking lot, and then keep finding a new session until you find it like I did. I only switched to 4 new session and then I found it passing by.
