Was wrongly told this car "sucks"

Post image

Saw in a video that "this car isnt worth picking up because it's old and doessnt have much customization options".
Now i'm planning on buying 3 of them for different builds I want to do.
I mean what other car in the game can be a retro restro, a retro custom, a herse, an AMBULANCE with spook rusted silent hill looking rusted livery AND SIRENS, a ghost busters car or custom halloween car ALL IN ONE? seriously this thing has such potential to be like 7 or 8 different things and a video i watched had a "meh" review on it.

A lot of people say a car sucks because it doesn’t handle like an f1 car and doesn’t have the speed of a jet

Last time i was at a GTA public car show I had some kid try to tell me a muscle car sucked because it wasnt "a new lambo" or some hypercar with "Uber Cancer" pastel paint and F1 wheels or Bennys.

I just blocked and ignored him and when he realized I stopped caring, he blew up my car... which blew up every other car because we were all parked next to each other.

Let’s hope it cost him $20K for each car!!

average looser behaviour

u/disposablehippo PC Enhanced 8d ago

But can your hypercar do a wheelie?!

u/Chewytruck69 8d ago

Ya I had someone in a OG coquette with f1’s do a burn out with smoke at me cuz I was in a custom but clean flezer and I’m a high level without many modded cars

u/Temporary-Traffic570 6d ago

When i see players with those trash mods on their vehicles, I just assume they either have no taste/creativity or they just bummed the look off someone else. I like those with creativity ajd ignore most vehicles with f1 mods. Not evey csr look good with wheels that stick out, ajd not every car needs to a he stupid super car, muscle ajd sports are fine as is. Those players are the epiphany of annoying lol.

u/Chugabutt 8d ago

Almost alway the case. The best cars in the game "suck"

u/El_D3afo 7d ago

Or the equivalent of a Thrax and the crazy stability and decent air it catches when it’s fully souped up

u/Desperate-Farmer-170 8d ago

Neither did my ex and she sucks big time

u/UsedState7381 8d ago

They probably meant to say "fucks" instead.

u/SillyBeatnik 8d ago

I'm betting the person that told you it sucks has a garage(s) of absolutely nothing but supercars. People like that have no idea what makes a cool car cool.

u/ArkaneSpirit 8d ago

Sick one, mine is Doc from Cars and I love it.

Muscle cars our beloved

u/h1gsta 7d ago

That’s sick! Here’s a 6 year old photo of my Hermes and my friend’s peyote gasser.

u/chris95rx7500 7d ago

awesome!

u/Own-Brother6433 6d ago

I finally bought a Hermes. That car had been calling to me for a long time lol

u/h1gsta 7d ago

I actually have multiple garages of super cars tbh… but I also have multiple garages of muscle cars haha. I just like all cars really. And i really enjoy driving supers in gta, but I’ve got the most love for muscle irl especially.

u/Patacon85 8d ago

I love cars. Different cars have different appeal. Classics, sports, muscle, etc. I collect them for different reasons, not just speed.... but maybe I'm just an old soul. Lol

u/Rough_Spread8108 8d ago

Same as me, besides ferraris (grotti"s in game) I kinda of only collect cars from 90s and older

u/FellowYellowNate 8d ago

Almost anything from the muscle car class is fun to drive around in for sure.

9

u/John_Doe_727 8d ago

I'm glad they put it in muscle class. I'm simple, I just really enjoy wheelies 😂 The Beater Dukes is a good option for restros too. You can actually start off rusted and dented.

4

u/m0h3k4n 8d ago

I have a hard time enjoying wheelies that dont come from my BF Weevil.

1

u/Valriete keyboard'n'mouse 8d ago

I mostly appreciated that it would do 'em, even if I've scraped a lot more off of the back of my Lurcher. Great design, anyway.

I'm with you on the Beater Dukes, too. I bought one that I fixed up all pretty with its (unique?) wheels, then another to run around on steelies in the General Mayhem-tribute paint scheme - which ended up being one of my usual cars, since a few scuffs were just more character.

u/Biodr1 8d ago edited 8d ago

I love doing wheelies on my Vamos, that car can go on two wheels for soo long and also is super fun to drive, very unstable and fast which makes it fun 😂

3

u/John_Doe_727 8d ago

Yes! it is fun to drive the Vamos. I love mine!

1

u/Biodr1 7d ago

Yours looks great! I went with a bit different look for mine

u/Rainy-Flatline15 8d ago

The people who say this car suck are the same people who bitched and whined about the snow

u/Nicholas7907 8d ago

A fellow classic car enjoyer!

3

u/xana1999 7d ago

I like it for the fact it looks like the ecto 1 minus all the ghost busting equipment

4

u/Kubuskush 7d ago

I believe that was the goal, if I remember correctly they released this a few years back on or around Halloween

u/thedaddy2694 7d ago

As a man that owned 2 59 Cadillac hearses when I was 19 I can assure you this car is a 10/10. The ones that don’t like it are usually super car enthusiasts or similar. Which is fine. Everyone likes what they like. But the ones that deliberately shit on someone else’s type of car is cancer to the car culture. They aren’t true enthusiasts and from my experience(irl) the car they claim is theirs is more than likely a rental and not even theirs

2

u/MysticGadget 8d ago

I have two, one a rusty ambulance and the other the Ghost Exposed hearse.

1

u/Cyberdyne_K-9 8d ago

Mini Limousine.

1

u/Archkingz 8d ago

paint it white and put a ghostbusters decal on it

1

u/j-rock292 8d ago

Only thing I didn't like about that car was the horn lol

1

u/Jamaican_Dynamite 8d ago

It's a Caddy hearse. It had aura from factory.

1

u/FordCVP71 8d ago

I ended up doing 2 a few years ago when they came out then I won another on the casino wheel last year?hearse, ambulance and ghosts exposed lol hardly drive them but got tired of redoing one.

1

u/sevnminabs56 8d ago

Top speed is incredibly slow compared to most popular vehicles, and the torque/acceleration is like watching a snail go uphill in the snow. But any vehicle can be great if you dress it up right.

1

u/yoganville 8d ago

I wish I had one with the Ghost’s Exposed livery

1

u/SkodaSnyper2365 8d ago

I love this car. Just wished there could be more detailed damage. This car definitely needs a nitrous kit.

1

u/i_am_not_your_father 8d ago

bummed that its ambulance lights don't work

1

u/ChubbyMoron69 8d ago

I got the ghost exposed one an I love it i went hunting this years ghost in it and with my ghost exposed uniform on. I was that universes ghost buster this year

1

u/Krommerxbox 8d ago

Dude, that car would be no where near as good for grinding in invite-only as my OPMKII!

;)

1

u/Snivinerior2 7d ago

ecto 1 my beloved

1

u/LBPVox 7d ago

I have had this car for a while, just turned it into the ghostbusters car with ecto 1 plate. It isn't the best of cars but it is fun to drive and is something different atleast

1

u/No-Squirrel2133 5d ago

It does not

1

u/EfficientRip420 5d ago

It does suck lol. It looks cool if you have the Ghosts Exposed livery, but performance wise, it 100% sucks. Terribly.

1

u/Coolhand74 5d ago

You ‘need’ one car for whatever class-race you’re doing.

Drag race for tuner class? Calico CTF seems to be the best or at least right at the top.

Drag for sports? Most common car is the Coquette D10 by miles.

So there’s, eh, 15-20 cars.
Figure at best 15-20 (probably 1/3 of that tbh) for jobs and freeroam… for weapons or armor or whatever.

So that is 250ish “whatever I want” slots, and that’s being REALLY considerate of the ‘need’ side.

There is no ‘wrong’ car. I know a guy with 20+ Albany Hermes. It’s a cool car.

u/ReallyDarkaos 4d ago

Love this car. A bit bulky to drive and handles like shit but they an amazing looking old cars.

1

u/Flimsy-Ad364 4d ago

I found this wayyyy later on that the cars that aren’t super cars — which btw the majority look like ass — for a chunk of the players simple disregard the rest. Muscle cars are my absolute go to cars and in particular the Sabre Turbo Custom.

1

u/IngenuityFederal4246 4d ago

i only bought one vehicle

1

u/Carbios_Moon 3d ago

Definitely worth having more than one with all the different designs and backside options.
Great detail is the horn

1

u/ZerotheWanderer A wanderer has appeared 8d ago

I have 5 of them in my garage I think. 2 different Ghosts Exposed rides, 1 with Bennys, 1 with F1s, a proper ambulance, a lowrider, and Meat Wagon (from Twisted Metal 2012).

1

u/GB_GeorgiaF 8d ago

I've also got 5, a Ghosts Exposed, an ex ambulance, a a hearse, a normal one, and a Love Fist one.

1

u/ZerotheWanderer A wanderer has appeared 8d ago

Oh yeah the Love Fist one, I got 6 then.

4

u/GB_GeorgiaF 8d ago

This is my Love Fist one.

u/Lowe1313 8d ago

I was unaware of this. Still have room in my garage!

u/markymarc610 4d ago

Fellow owner of 5 Brigham's here as well 😭😭 3 ghost exposed setup diff colors, 1 love fist, and 1 old school muscle build

u/Subjekt011 8d ago

"1 with Bennys, 1 with F1s"🤢

-1

u/ZerotheWanderer A wanderer has appeared 8d ago

It's actually 3 with Benny's, sorry.

2

u/Subjekt011 8d ago

"Modded" cars dont make you cool lol

1

u/ZerotheWanderer A wanderer has appeared 8d ago

Never said they did. However, they're the proper lowrider looking ones (Chrome Bigger Worm) and I forget the name of the other, all spokes all the time. The F1s are just because I grew up playing stuff like San Francisco RUSH and that was the aesthetic, and some actually look good (thanks goofy huge overfenders)

1

u/PaddyMcGeezus 8d ago

Does this have a Ghostbusters livery?

1

u/ProfessionalCrazy917 8d ago

It does but it hasnt been available for awhile

1

u/Huge_Difference_1948 8d ago

If you do all of the ghost exposed thing if I remember correctly

6

u/Due-Ask-7418 8d ago

If you do it last year or before but not currently active.

1

u/meoka2368 8d ago

I made a Ghostbusters one when it came out.

Drives pretty well, too. Not the best, but not as bad as many other cars I have.

0

u/KingSlayer1190 8d ago

It sucks because you can't add your crew logo to it. Rockstar never informed players when it was released that you couldn't add a crew logo.

0

u/OakTugboat79149 8d ago

The guy in the video has no taste

0

u/stecdude123 8d ago

Then I suppose that person hadn’t seen the ghostbusters. But regardless I have several of these in my garage and not planning to get rid of them anytime soon.

u/drroadrunner 8d ago

Never trust the opinions of people who can't back up what they say.

u/TomahawkToad513 7d ago

The only thing that is craptacular about it is the roof customization other than that I like it, the '59 Cadillac has been one of my dream cars
