Seems like you’d burn more gas than you’d earn working this job, never mind the insurance alone lol

Also the risk of parking that car in all the shady areas that delivery drivers have to go

Yeah that’s what I was thinking about, unless he’s in a really nice area exclusively with no bad neighborhoods in the delivery radius. He’s probably got a gun on him too, many pizza drivers do who drive less fancy shit than that, so at least there’s that too.

Also, his Corolla is probably just off screen and he delivered to a customer who owns this car (or some similar situation) and the guy who owns the car said “sure just don’t scratch my shit” just for the lolz, but it’s fun to imagine.

I had to take an Uber back to my car after a bicycle breakdown a few weeks ago. The guy picked me up in a white Mercedes Benz with white leather interior, and he didn’t even care that I got chain grease all over his back seat. He was chatting about how he was going to retire once his savings hit $5 million. He was either clinically insane or I really don’t understand the economics of Uber whatsoever.

Most drivers I’ve met seem to do it as a side gig. He might’ve been crazy/senile, but he might’ve just been driving for fun/extra cash

The Deliverator’s car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator’s car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens. You want to talk contact patches? Your car’s tires have tiny contact patches, talk to the asphalt in four places the size of your tongue. The Deliverator’s car has big sticky tires with contact patches the size of a fat lady’s thighs. The Deliverator is in touch with the road, starts like a bad day, stops on a peseta.

Forza Horizon 5. The game literally throws hypercars at you within the first few minutes. It’s fun, although many people complain that it ruins the sense of progression (nevertheless the game has hundreds of cars, unlocking them all would take forever).

My third or so wheel spin got me the Lambo Forza Edition that comes with some massive XP boost for when driving around

Even though I liked driving my other cars around the fact that they couldn’t go half as fast or earn the XP nearly as quickly made me use almost exclusively that for the open world bits. Felt too wrong not to unless I was specifically going off road or something

Just Cause 3

Get the “Air, Sea, and Land DLC”. Start the “Sea” portion. Get the Lightning Gun.

Now play the main missions, you’ll feel like Emperor Palpatine with unlimited power.

The Witcher 2, though it’s more of an exploit.

If you get the sword from the Lady of the Lake in the previous game, you start the prologue of TW2 with two silver swords, one being the Lady of the Lake sword. Unequip the Lady of the Lake sword so you don’t lose it to the dragon.

You now have a mid-tier silver sword that is good for half the game. You also don’t need to find a new silver sword at the start of the game.

The Witcher 2 really gets slept on imo. I actually really liked the story and Geralt slowly coming to terms with who he is, or was, in a world that is still trying to lie to him about both.

Usually I have come across this with poorly done DLCs. They offer some bonus item in game.

So if you buy the game with all the DLC in a sale then when you start the game you have all this extra stuff you wouldn’t normally have. I can’t recall the game but there was one game where I actively had to not use the DLC items otherwise the first part of the was way too easy and bordering on boring.

it would have to be a fairly atypical sort of game I imagine, most games with a premade tutorial world are not going to have anything too extreme in that world to find, unless its some sort of hidden easter egg. I could see it if its a game that uses procedural generation, but those kinds of games usually dont have much of a tutorial beyond maybe some short instructions.

I guess it could kinda apply in a very mild sort of way in GTAOnline, if you happen to be at the point in the very beginning where youre getting your first car and get free insurance on it, and happen to find one of the pre-customized npc cars that spawn rarely and are still cheap enough to keep after stealing, but those arent really all that rare or special.

Bit of an obscure one, but Fire Emblem Gaiden.

There is a miniscule (0.014%) chance for the very first enemies in the game to drop an extremely powerful item that normally isn’t available until much later. Getting it early is absolutely wild because one of its effects is doubling stat gains when leveling up, which can quickly snowball your characters into godhood.

Now THIS is the first actual example of an early/tutorial enemy dropping a ‘rare’ item.

The lambo has a widebody kit on it. Makes it as wide as an F150 but only like 42" tall.

Who the fuck looks at a Lamborghini and thinks “not wide enough”??

Generally, people will widebody a street car for the aesthetic. They are imitating the production race cars that use wider tires to increase traction; wide enough tires don’t fit under the stock bodywork, so the fenders come out further to cover the wider tires for aerodynamic purposes.

The Lamborghini Huracan GT3(production car pulled off the line to be made into a race car) is about 80 inches wide, compared to ~76" for the stock Huracan. For comparison, a Prius comes in at a nice ~69" and the F150 is currently ~80".
