Press start or down on the d-pad in the game when you are in online mode. Click on your online character if you are on the socialclub website.

I loaded up GTAO last night and my precious Karin Futo and the Mors Mutual phone contact had disappeared. I checked the impound in South Los Santos even though my map had no marker for it (apparently there's a help popup if it gets impounded but that didn't happen) and it wasn't there either.


This happened to me last night. You get the insurance number again once you put a new tracker on another car.

I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desk and reading my name on the glass of my office door: regnaD kciN

So if I don't have a garage or apartment yet, and I want to switch my main car, can I just steal a new one drive it to an auto body place and put the tracker and insurance on the new one?

My character was gone from the game this morning but still completely viewable on the internet. Over the course of the day, character info and stats have disappeared, but my level and cash are still there.

What a mess. This is disappointing.

You just drive it into your garage and it gets tagged automatically. You still have to buy the insurance for it I think. And no, you can't do this with the premium cars. You'll still need to buy those.

I own a 6 garage apartment and have 4 insured vehicles and I haven't got it yet.

I got it as soon as I bought the 223k apartment with 10 stall garage. It is the only property I have owned.

edit: Purchased through website while in someone else's apartment.

Helicopters only appear on 2 stages, 4 and 10. They suck, but they aren't the end of the world.

There's also either two on 7 or one on 7 and one on 8.

And yeah, just shoot the pilot. Or use a minigun to kill one in less than a second. And apparently, if you shoot both gunners, the pilot will just gently caress off and the round will end.

When I bought my Batti 801RR, the website that sells it said the top speed is 210 mph. I've modded it with some upgrades including the turbo upgrade, and my driving ability is at 100. I've seemingly hit top speed a bunch of times, while tucking my rider forward, but my stats sheet has my fastest traveled speed at 133 mph. Is the description on the Web page a lie? I'd really like it if they had a speedometer in this game.

If you look down in first person view, you can see the gauges but I didn't try when I was actually moving.

It's not literally a delete button. It just means you're forcing your way into free roam when you're not supposed to, and none of your progress is getting saved.
