Let me tell you a story.
I had a Voodoo. I spent literally hours searching for one which had a worn out all over rust-red color. This is not very common, since the Voodoo has a 2 tone color setting, so getting one with an all over paint job is kinda rare, but getting one with a certain color as all over paint job is nearly impossible. You can't just get one and paint it in red, this changes the gloss and texture.
I finally found one some weeks ago. I spent around 120k on tuning, but left the color untouched, to get that special "rat look". Nice chrome rims, dark tinted windows, but fucked up rusty (non-glossy) red paint job. Awesome car. Even random players kept asking about the car because they hadn't really noticed the game having such a "lowrider" model they liked the concept of a rat-look tuning.
Then the lowrider update came. And I drove said Voodoo into Benny's garage.
I wanted the lowrider option, and ONLY the lowrider option, which means the hydraulics. I carefully read every info available, evaluated the decision, all info just said "prepares car for lowrider options". Then I spent 240k for the lowrider customization on my already 120k worth car.
Big mistake.
The rusty paint was gone. Suddenly, it had a perfect matte red painting. What. The. Fuck.
To me, the car was ruined. All additional parts looked ridiculous to me, as I wanted a "cool" car, not a "cheap pimp" car. A 12 year old probably likes the flashy cheap bling bling you can attach, but the concept of a rat look lowrider was now impossible. I sold the car. For 100k.
This is the story of "How to burn 260k $ in 10 minutes".
(Although, after this, I bought the Willard Faction and made it into a lowrider, spending around 850k. At least, now I have a nice car to use when looking for a Voodoo again...)
