The Lampadati Felon has EK Civic gauges.

I actually didn't really care about the formerly-rumored first person mode one way or the other. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! now, though, it does look pretty cool.

While I'm on the subject of GTA V, the new Dodo Seaplane is totally a spoof of the DHC-2 Beaver. I know the Dodo name has history in GTA, but I'm surprised at Rockstar's restraint in not giving it a name suggestive of female genetalia.

And the Impotente Duke O'Death (obviously a modified Dukes, itself a spoof of a Charger) immediately made me think of Mad Max's Pursuit Special, but there's definitely a lot of Death Race going on there.

The fact that the radio shows what station you're listening to is awesome in it's own right.

Meh. I like GTA as 3rd person views so 1st person doesnt do much for me.

I hope that there are more customization options at Los Santos Customs.

I am Pretty Excited for this. I've had the PS4 version preordered for a while, but man oh man does it look fantastic. Nice spot on the Civic gauges!

They need to add lifts to their 4WD vehicles. Oh, and actually make the Mesa 4WD.

I thought/think the Mesa is 4WD? The Sandking originally wasn't, but it's since been fixed.

All I really want is the ability to paint the wheels in chrome. There's paintable wheels, and there's chrome paint, why not let us paint them chrome?

I'm stoked for the PC version. I have a feeling I'll be making a lot more mods.

I might just have to put my pc back to game duty. I havent been interested in a game in forever, and this is fantastic!

When it comes out in january we need to start some sort of GTA5 PC oppo server or something.

Yeah, that's how I felt until today. I even tried the third-person mod for GTA IV.

What about online heists? Or online stock market? That shit still not worked out?

LOL, nope. Heists should've been here a LONG time ago.

As far as the Bawsaq goes though, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they ever said that it was intended to function in Online. I think many people just assumed that it would.

Yeah I don't know if there were any official news to that. But still, that would be freaking cool. But cool stuff didn't happen of course.

The regular Mesa has 4WD with a 50/50 torque split. The Merryweather Mesa (with the lift kit, roll bar, etc.) has a 10/90 split making it essentially RWD. It sucks because it's the more capable Mesa.
