I just bought a '89 Hopper XT-4 in Fire-Red with a blown head gasket from a friend of mine for 350$ It's been sitting for 2 years and has some minor spots of rust towards the rear of the frame. But it's perfect for what I want to-do with it. I brought one of my personal use trailers and towed the thing back home where it currently sits, parts are on the way. ( I guess I forgot to provide an update on my Blue Hopper, oops. I had to replace the roof, doors, windshield frame assembly, etc. and I did an oil change and changed the coolant out, It currently has no issues and is mechanically sound, really glad that I picked this up.)
[new character] Name: Jackson (Jax) Reeves Age: 19 Car(s): Gavril Grand Marshall. -------------------------------------------------------------- Learnt to drive. Inherited dad's grand marshall. he got a new car, and rather than me buying something of my own, they insisted I have the Grand Marshall Honestly, I see potential. It's an okay car, perhaps a respray would do me a favour. Later today, my friend texted, informing me he needed picking up. When I asked why, I received a photo A black van had sped round the corner on the wrong side, hitting my friend head-on. Apparently, up to 3 men got out of the van and ran away into the foliage. The police has been called. I have picked up my friends and we are home. The police are searching the van and we have not heard back yet.
*I check the news and see that a black van has collided head on with someone in a Pessima* Hey Vic, I think it might be time to go. You wanna come with me to Utah? We'll tell Zesty where we went.
Did some major work to the red Hopper today, I replaced the head gasket, added Off-road springs & shocks, new lockable front and rear differentials, lightbar, and I installed my old truck rims onto it. I also took off the top door covers and spare tire holder. It costed me 700$ worth of used & new parts to do all of this but it does function very well while in all looking cool, and it can go in some deep water! So far I'm into this car for 1,050$ USD, but I'll be doing more modifications later on when I have the cash ready for it. ( waiting for 0.18 to drop.)
I have been saving money for fixing mustang. Later I got email: your mustang has expired documents so I thinked time to register it again but I think I will not pass it engine running weird, suspension bad, needs exhaust, has fault code, engine light is on, abs light flashes his guy wanted 5k but I managed down to get 4.300dollars
I've been getting a load of money since the raise and managed to get a new car, a civetta Bolide, it sounds and drives amazing
a shady man with a black van came in today. the van was pretty damaged, but wasn't too hard to fix. I later found out about the earlier attack with a black van. I start thinking: not again, last time was bad enough. can they even still be here? I put my gun in my car, hoping to not be caught in the crossfire for once. I grab some tea, sit down, and start looking through some new arrivals for me to sell
So I've recently had a spur-of-the moment opportunity to pursue my dream and move out west to Utah with a friend of mine. We went half and half on a shop, which will soon become a automotive shop with a factory repair and maintenance division led by my friend and a custom division led by myself. I'm currently on my way out west in my Barstow, and I'm having my Hopper shipped out to me when I arrive, but here's a picture my friend took of the shop when he flew in yesterday morning.
( Well shit, The gooseneck tow hitch mod that I use is broken, and I heavily relied on that for my job in my roleplay. I really don't like doing this but I'll start over. Keeping my name, age ( now I'm out of high school.), house ( with me now owning it), and my red hopper.) Name: Jonathan Oak Age: 18 ( D.O.B; June 17th, 2000) Home: Firwood, Maine Job: Trucker ( mostly trucking within Firwood, but sometimes I'll go to Utah or California with either my Big Rig or my Dually Truck ) Car(s): 1994 D35 Chief Rancher, 1978 Gavril T75 fifth wheel special, And a 1989 Red Ibishu XT-4 Hopper. Hobby(s): Off-roading in my Hopper, and working on my own cars. Misc: My first car was a Base XT-4 Hopper in "Fire Red", I learned how to maintain and modify cars with it. I still have it and it has minimal rust as I undercoated myself it in winter of 2016. (same year I got the car.)
So, @98crownvic , I think @zestyfolfdude is busy. Theres a campsite/trailerpark in Utah that I might want to stay in. Do you want to come to Utah with me? --- Post updated --- I think that if I'm going to Utah, then I may want something more suited for the terrain. It would also help to have something tougher against the Vans if were followed there. If we go back to my house to pick up a few supplies and I buy a pickup truck that would probably be helpful.
"A campground in Utah sounds fairly remote, probably an alright place for this whole avoiding death thing. I've got two weeks of vacation to use up until the end of December, and they don't roll over to next year, this should work out great!"
Sounds great. I think I’ll just use the Moonhawk as I don’t really want to buy a new car. You ready to go? I think we should stop by my house so I can grab my laptop.
Okay. *Vic and I step into the Moonhawk and take the 10 minute drive to my house where we pick up some canned food and water, my laptop, and my revolver. As we start to exit the state, a black van starts to chase us* Crap. I think I should be able to lose him if I floor it. *I press the gas pedal all the way and the Moonhawk roars and speeds up.*
After a long flight and a longer drive, I arrived at the campsite around five. It was modest and quiet, and I fell asleep not long after parking my SBR4. I was excited to begin my vacation in Utah, as a new rock climbing activity was being hosted at the visitor's center. I'd recently took up the sport, an enjoyed it well. When I awoke, I sat up, yawned, and reached for my phone. I pawed through various new sites when I caught wind of a police chase happening a mile away from the campsite. As I looked at the helicopter feed from the local news network, I stared in awe at what was happening. Was that... Brien's Moonhawk? I tried to convince myself it wasn't true, but that did very little good. I watched in horror as a black van edged Brien and Vic off the road ahead of an upcoming roadblock. Thankfully, the cameraman zoomed in as the collision occured- Brien managed to recover the slide, and fishtailed into the van, which straightened him out. But, as Brien peeled away, the old van slid into a rocky cliffside. It tipped the van off balance, and threw the vehicle to the ground, causing the black Gavril to be surrounded by a dusty haze. As I perked up my ears, I could here the sound of sirens growing nearer. I sighed, put on a new shirt, grabbed my 'just in case' handgun, and waited.
