    I agree with you trance, but those are definatly temporary, I just made the wheels so I could take the focus away from my last monster truck model... usually what I do is make temporary parts for placement and size, then I go through and jack up the detail or replace them. ;)

    see, I dont mind criticism like that because it is to help, and inspire. thanks :)

    for example, the first pic of the regular DeLorean had "textured cylinders" as wheels...

    I replaced them like so..

    textures will be updated on this later, but I will also change out the wheels on the DeLorean monster truck

    I have been working on this today, I decided since nobody (to my knowledge) has started a delorean monster truck model, that I would. I am also considering doing a Limo Delorean, Mabye if i can get some proper help, I can get it into game. I didn't know whether to post this topic in other gta mods or here, but i decided to because it is not a mod yet. here is a pic of progress, I need to work on the back quarter panels more.

    I unfortunatly smoke real cigarettes..... And I have had 2 E-cigs.. here is my opinion

    If you dont smoke. dont waste the money on any product of that sort, and dont start smoking.

    If you do smoke, dont waste the money on an e-cig, they dont taste like a real one, are they harmful? No

    they keep you addicted, and they taste like a poor excuse of artificial flavoring. They also do not satisfy you like a real cigarette. I have had the cookies and cream, chocolate, strawberry, coffee and tobacco flavor. If you smoked as long as me, you cant really taste the difference between them, because your taste buds get shot.

    I am almost 21 years old, I have smoked since I was 16. It is really stupid, my advise to anyone is not to start in the first place. Once you get addicted you just put it off over and over til' its too late.

    Sadly, I cant imagine life without them atm.. With my current stress level, I don't feel like now is the time to stop. :( sad face

    what I do is get a cheap fender squire strat and add new pickups and a toggle switch, good enough for me. you can pick up a cheap strat clone at most any pawn shop, but to be honest, you really need a good amp to go along with it. I would go with a tube amp, My dream amp is a marshall Jcm800 2205, but I have a similiar amp called a Peavey windsor. It is 100 watt, and is LOUD.... It also depends on where you live, If you live in an apartment.... 100watt = bad idea... if you live in the country or in a house not surrounded by evil old ladies who hate rock music, then you are good... but like orgcon said you may just want a solid state as tubes amps are loud. Unless you want to play live go with a smaller solid state amp.

    Hi everyone, I was actually working on a map mod with some of my newer models, I was wondering if anybody on the forums has had experience with gta 3 map modding? I made some of the models, ipl, ide, .col, edited the gta.dat file and still no matter what I do.. it will not show up in game.. any suggestions? thanks in advance.

    read this....

    For a few very loyal car owners, however, six years isn't much. Take Irv Gordon, whose 1966 Volvo P1800 made the Guinness Book of Records in 1998 for its incredibly high mileage. Gordon, the car's original owner, has now logged more than 2.6 million miles on trips and in daily driving. In interviews, Gordon attributed his car's extreme longevity to regular maintenance and his use of genuine Volvo parts.

    Then there's Wisconsinite Peter Gilbert, who has logged more than a million miles in his 1989 Saab 900 SPG. MSN reports the durable vehicle, now on display in a museum, still features its original engine and turbocharger.

    And let's not forget that domestic cars hit the million-mile mark just as often as their foreign competitors. In 2008, Frank Oresnik (coincidentally, another Wisconsinite) was just short of hitting the million-mile mark in his 1991 Chevrolet Silverado truck. Left Lane News reports that the truck has gone though four radiators, three gas tanks, five transmissions and six water pumps, but never a new engine.

    lol thats crazy... crazy.. but true
