Man, if they don't have garages that save every car, they've fucked up major. Who wants to buy cars if I'm going to do the same thing I always do in GTA? Keep my awesome cars and NEVER DRIVE THEM because they always BLOW UP and you LOSE THEM FOREVER? When using actual in game money, this makes the choice obvious.
Yeah, I think, the first thing I'll do when I get the game aside from the usual vehicle control test, is to try to save a car in a garage. Given that Michael already has a garage since he's loaded and Franklin works with cars, I think it'll be easy to do.
So the plan:
1. Steal a car
2. run over a cop
3. steal his gun (first gun)
4. try out aiming
5. try out wanted system
6. drive car to garage and see if it saves
7. BLOW CAR UP
8. go back to garage and see if I can pay a fee to have saved car revived
Will take ten minutes tops to get to the core of it. All of these things better be fucking awesome.
