So GTA Online got better really quickly. It only took them several months to do it but they finally got it down. Now that the game is back in action, it's time to address a problem that still plagues the game:
People think the Adder is the shit.
For those who don't know, the Adder is the fastest car in the game. Not only that, but the car is basically a turd that can go fast. Literally, it looks like shit. Any colour on it other than a silver will make it look bad...and please don't get me started with the simpletons that put all chrome on it to make it look cool.
|
BEHOLD! A TURD WITH WHEELS! |
|
And here my friends....is what dog shit looks like! |
See, GTA is about cars that look good. The Adder is far from the greatest looking vehicle in the game. Maybe it's a killer when it comes to races because of it's super speed, but I'd rather not drive a turd down the street for show.
So now that we have the new update on the way that can store more cars, it's time for players to take a crack at cars that may not go as fast as the Adder, but are certainly unique or very rare to obtain. I rarely see anyone with these cars in their garage, so why not expand your horizons a bit?
So let's get started! Let's begin with rare cars!
1. Albany Manana
It's an Emperor with two seats. However, it's best known for being one of the best pimp cars in GTA Online. The Manana has a moderately good speed and belongs in the Sports Classic category. You might not be digging the roof on the car, but you can find this baby without a roof near Grove Street with chrome flames near the front wheels for some killer pimp action. A moderately difficult car to find, but once you find it, the possibilities and customization options are endless.
2. Declasse Tornado
It's that car that everyone wanted in the 1950's. The Tornado that's shown above is the non-rusty version in GTA 5, and while it used to be a very rare car to find, it's spawn locations make it a little more easier to locate. There are two variants, the Tornado above is the convertible version. The other is a hard top version that can be found on the road leading to Grove Street during the night. The hard top is the rarest one to find. Both cars have a huge variety of customization options that will make the inner 50's man in you scream in joy. Give this car a brown paint job and you got yourself the true 1950's experience!
3. Karin Sultan
This was a San Andreas classic, and a must find car in GTA IV. The Sultan is a speedy, good looking 4 door car that has a variety of cool parts to customize. However, it's when this car is fully upgraded that it becomes the speedy Sultan RS. The RS can accelerate to full speed very quickly which makes it the best car for Heists (When it comes out). You certainly can't go wrong with this car once you find it, which can be found near the port during dusk and the early afternoon. This car should be a car that everyone should have; it's quick, snappy and to the point!
4. Vapid Peyote
If you think the Manana is the best pimp car, think again! The Peyote not only is the quint essential car to own if you wish to dawn the pimp suit, but if you find the gang variants near Grove Street, you can ditch the roof and go with a convertible look. This car has a boat load of unique custom parts that can give your car some class, and it's quite fast to boot; even without the upgrades! You'll be the envy of your fellow players when you drive this one to the next car show you participate in!
5. Obey Tailgater
This is by far, the single most rarest car so far in GTA Online. While I have a feeling this car will end up being purchasable on the shop, right now all I can say is...good luck finding this one! This is actually Michael's car in Story Mode and spawns around the golf course only once per game session, meaning that you can only find one of them spawning in and that's all. Overall, this car is a decent 4 seater with a good variety of custom parts. If not for the Sultan, this would make a really good Heist car. Keep this car black or use a darker colour for the paint job!
6. Romero Hearse
Another really difficult car to find Online. The Hearse is a sedan with a coffin in the back. While the most you can do is change the rims and paintjob, the fact that you can put this car in your garage and make it a personal vehicle is quite cool. I mean, who doesn't want to deliver death in this death-mobile? The best spot to look for it is at the cemetery near the golf course. Check both parking lots during the day and eventually it will spawn in. Just bear in mind that this car is very much a slow slugger and not much of a performer, but hey....it's a hearse that you can paint...what more do you want?
7. Western Daemon
Oh my! A motorcycle! Yes, the Daemon is your classic chopper. It's a bike with teeth and that's all that matters. Resembling a Triumph and a Harley Davidson, this bike has a really cool paint scheme and some nice customization options for you to choose. Plus, it's got some speed to it! Waaaaay better than the crotch rockets you can get from the online store or that ridiculous looking Hex chopper. Honestly if you wish to dawn some leather and ride side by side with the Lost MC, this bike will get you to places; in style!
8. Albany Primo
No, it isn't a can of pasta sauce. The Primo is a 4 door sedan that resembles a fourth generation Toyota Carina. Usually you can find them spawning sometimes near the airport or in the slums of Los Santos. It's a speedy car with some good customization options to choose from. Not a bad car to have in your garage once you find it. To be fair, it isn't exactly rare any more buuuuuuuut it certainly doesn't spawn all the time. This car spawns based on what you're driving so yeah...
10. Sentinel Convertible and Sentinel XS
The third rarest car in the game, with the first being the Tailgater and the third being the Hearse. The Sentinel comes in two flavors; the Convertible (left) and the XS (right). Focus your search near the golf course during the day and eventually you'll see one either parked on the road or driving on it. Not as many custom options as the XS but you do get the convertible roof and the slight speed boost. The XS you get a large amount of things you can customize. It has a little more maneuverability than the convertible Sentinel. Both cars are based on BMW E63 models.
12. Ocelot F620
Found in the parking lots close to the boardwalk, the F620 made it's debut in GTA IV's TBoGT and is one hell of a car to have in your garage. Be warned though...this car is very difficult to locate. I spent about an hour driving in circles around the boardwalk parking lot just to get this thing to spawn. Hard car to find but oh so worth it once you get your hands on it. This by the way, is based on the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
13. A Clean Rebel
Originally, Rockstar removed the ability to put the clean version of the Rebel; which is your basic pickup truck (Very Ford Ranger-y). Now you can go out to Sandy Shores and pick up your clean Rebel once more! You're getting the same package as the normal Rebel that you can buy online, however it isn't rusty aaaan has a few more modification options to choose from so that's something.
14. Declasse VooDoo
If only this car didn't come only in a rusty version. The VooDoo is as pimp as you can get. You'll find this one driving around Sandy Shores and only during the afternoon. Very classy to have in your garage and quite nostalgic concerning it was the must have lowrider in Vice City and San Andreas. If only you can get hydraulics........Rockstar, you know what to do! If you must know, this is based on one of my favourite cars in the world; a Chevrolet Impala from the 1960's. Again I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy wish this car came in a non beater version but I guess you can't have everything.
15. Chevael Picardo
If Jean Luc Picard had a car...he would own the Picardo. However, since this muscle pickup is not related to Star Trek: The Next Generation, you'll just have to settle with not setting a course to Farpoint Station at Warp 9. You can find the Picardo in Sandy Shores and in and around Los Santos. Has no custom options other than windows and tires so for the custom junkies, it's absolute shit. However, I do like the fact that it's a sport-zy pickup car. Also, this car looks awesome in oranges and yellows.
16. Western Bagger
Another unique motorcycle; how cool! Ok, so this is based off a 2013 Harley Davidson Custom and is also good ole Frankie's motorcycle of choice! Basically this is the hardest bike you're going to find and quite honestly, unless you're very lucky and find it in parking lots near the beach, you should probably wait for Simeon's text asking you to locate it. Once you get rid of all the crappy front and rear parts, you got a really good looking bike that looks wonderful in greens, reds, and purples.
Now let's look at unique vehicles that aren't rare per-say, but are really cool. Descriptions will be kept short because...well...yeah.
1. Rescue ATV
Ever wanted to come to someone's rescue on a quad? Well now's your chance with this bright red ATV found on the beach. This car can be put into your garage it's one of the few emergency cars out there that can be personally yours. Can't do anything with it apart from putting insurance on it, but hey! You can be the hero by driving an ATV.
2. Asha
Not the fastest, nor the prettiest....but man that's a lot of stickers. Yes! The infamous car that only could be obtained through evil glitches or at the very beginning of GTA Online has made it's way into the online car shop for your delight. The sticker bomb car obviously has an appeal for those interested in collecting unique cars or are a fan of stickers. Either way, you can buy it and keep it.
3. Obey 9F
Found on the high end car shop online, the 9F isn't exactly the most popular car on there, but with the right paintjob and rims, you got yourself a very futuristic looking car that will compliment your car collection. Basically, if you enjoyed the film "I Robot", then I'm pretty sure you're going to like this car
4. Albany Washington
Made available for purchase after the Business Update, the Washington has been around GTA since the very beginning. It's a traditional 4 door sedan with a Crown Vic look; what more can you want? Of course you want lots of money so you can buy shitty looking super cars instead but that's up to you.
5. Candi Bodi
Trevor's truck. Nuff said....ok so it's a truck that has quite a few custom options to put on plus the ability to ram others without taking significant damage. It's a good truck to have it you like going on rampages in the city. Find this beauty in the car shop online.
6. Declasse Saber Turbo
The Saber! The best muscle car in GTA! Better yet, you can make your Saber into the Green Saber from GTA San Andreas and you got yourself a nostalgia car that you will most likely not let go of! I was really tempted to put this in the rare car list but as it turned out, this thing is everywhere. So why not pick up one today!
7. Albany Buccaneer
It's a Monte Carlo with some style! This was once a really rare car to find but it seems now they can spawn in sometimes with normal traffic. The car has really good handling and speed and some cool custom options. Plus, the gang variant found near Grove Street is really cool too!
8. Candis Mesa
Otherwise known as the Merryweather Car. This is a fantastic off-road vehicle that looks awesome in it's standard paint job or in bright reds. It also shares the same ramming characteristic that the Bodi has so don't be afraid to ram those silly Adder drivers with this bad boy! Obviously, the only way to obtain this is calling mercs on somebody then plucking the car from their grasps
9. Mariachi Tornado
Your standard rusty Tornado with a twist; it's as Mexican as you can get! The Mariachi car can be found in the mountains very close to that strange nudist place. Basically, go past the mountain overlooking the military base and got to where you see a road that heads straight off a cliff at exactly 19:00 PM (Or 7 PM if you're too silly to understand 24 Hr Time) and you'll be able to find it. Don't take too long though, other wise the drivers of the car will high tail it off the cliff and destroy it. It can keep it as a personal car and it is insurable but the only thing you can do with it is put a bomb in it.
Well, I guess that's all there is! Again, the reason why you won't find cars like the Adder, Entity XF, Turismo R and the likes is because those cars are so mainstream and so ridiculous looking that it takes the fun away from customizing your rides. Seriously, as I said about the Adder the only colour you can actually use is silver. Also, I've heard a rumour about tomorrow's High Life update that there will be a $1 million gold plate option for your cars that will be introduced. Want to know what it would look like?

Oh yeah, it looks fucking ridiculous

So yeah, if you want to be an idiot and spend a ridiculous amount of money for a ridiculous feature, be my guest!
