Im thinkin im tempting a can of worms situation but alot of crews have a cew car, 1. Specific vehicle that all crew members own, in crew colour w crew emblem
Wondering if theres any interest in having one for red rum.. Now I see that it could be a problem as most of us have racing garages and wouldnt want to switch a car we use for racing, but havin it on second characters means we wont race it much... A difficult compromise
So is there any car we all/majority already own?? Im thinkin a majority of our psn users run an entity in supers, dont see many adders sportin a RRR emblem, does anyone use a different super and is it too cliche to use it as a "crew car"?
Alot of guys also use an exemplar after las t weeks challenge and im considering myself. could make for a nice crew car.. However both have limited visual mods...
I just think the idea of us havin a race in the same car (esp if racing other crews) could be cool, or for crew based pic opportunities, cruise meets... Think the closest we came was just after beachbum we alll owned a bifra and had some good bifta madness sessions doin offroading and races
Thoughts??

Wouldn't mind having a crew car w/ crew emblem.
Would want my own colours tho! But that's just me….
Entity or Cheetah are probably what I see most a lot have. Or Elergy's...

Yea I used to have all crew coloured cars back in the day of LTHM but havent with RRR, considerin doin crew only colours with my first character garage then my own colours on my second
Elegy is a good idea, esp as it has 2 colours so we could say it has to be crew colour for primary and you can pick your secondary to personalise itz altho pearlescents would make them slightly different so we might hace to say no pearls.. I just know one or two guys prefer the feltzer so was cautious of suggesting it

I just know one or two guys prefer the feltzer so was cautious of suggesting it I'm one of them. No way I'm giving that up. I think the Entity is most likely to be universal in terms of who already owns one. Or I can just be "that guy in the obnoxiously bright neon pink Feltzer" in a herd of ticky tacky elergy's...

I know Luap prefers his Adder over an Entity and he also does not like the Elegy. I think the Elegy is a good choice though as it is free. Only cost would be modding it. I dare say that if we made a decision like this, I don't see it being a problem for Luap for gatherings. He is all about repping the crew. Exemplar is a good choice but I do not know who else is really customizing one. Bifta is a good choice since it is free and majority of all off-road races, people are now sporting those except for the off case of someone using the Sanchez.

I am not getting the reason behind the "crew car" idea. Is this for crew photos, vehicle specific races, or just to role play? If you were to pick one I wouldn't make it a super car or other expensive vehicle. There are some folks that can't afford super cars. Heck one of our members didn't have $10K to join the H2H crew race yesterday.
I vote for the Faggio, we can all be scooter brothers!

Didn't have 10k to join a race? Was this some kind sharing thing I don't know about? Never heard of paying to enter a race.

Im down with crew car. Let us know and i'll do it up. I like the idea of crew primary color, personalized secondary color.

Yea had a feelin there would be a feltzer/elegy divide, same kinda goes for the entity/adder as well T0lly im more just toyin with the idea in my head and it sort of fell out into the world... in some ways its kinda cool havin a single model car that everyone owns and havin meetups in it, also all turnin up in the same car/colours to races against other crews. in other ways its really really nerdy and very hard to agree on as were not a "themed" or roleplay crew, we race and everyone has a different style/pref to certain vehicle. Mostly it would just be for the comrardry and a laugh so ionically the faggio is a damn fine idea. I love it when Trevor wants to be a scooter brothers in SP, I usually chase the other scooterdude and sticky bomb him... but can we make the arguably crappest vehicle in LS cool? I was thinkin the only real way we could have a crew car would be the lesser used classes like sedan, coupe or compacts... But im all for us keepin "as is" and expressing ourselves individually. When the rums flowwing well why rock the boat right?

I'd be fine with a unified color scheme in a given class... Set out appropriate primary and secondary colors for each model.

My 2nd slot characters garage color scheme is my personal taste and experiments. I woulod like to see us get some crew photos. I have seen some other crews with some great themed photos. Example; we get together with same class of cars, wearing same shirts with RRR1 logos, and wearing helmets.

Thorny one and you'll probably never get everyone in on it but still, it's a fun idea.
Difficult one for me as I have my ideal garage line up, class wise, and I don't really use my secondary (she doesn't even have a property). I am amenable tho it really, really depends what the choice is.
Elegy I have and love, happy to crew it up. Also pondering changing my Surano out for a different sports, sticking point is that I can't sell it so it's a last resort kinda thing. Entity, I don't and won't have. Infernus is me and that's that. Faggio, excellent, lol. Just not sure what I'd be happy swapping out for it. Exemplar, nope, too dear for what it is. For me atm anyway. Sedan could work, toying with the idea of swapping my Tailgator for something else. Equally, I might be up for changing that spot in my garage for something other than a sedan.... Bifta, fine with that but you can't logo it, correct? Muscle? I have a Sabre I'm thinking of swapping for a Bucc but I'm also open to the idea of having 2 of that class. Does anyone not have an Akuma?

We made a point in saying that no one is required to sport crew colors. We encourage it though. I think having a crew color is good enough personally because without requiring a specific car we will never get a consensus. There is always the option of setting races to stock and picking a model on the fly with all picking crew color.
I personally do not intend to change much in my garage any time soon.

I think if you choose to have a crew coloured car then that's your own personal decision and we, as members, shouldn't feel pressured to comply if it's optional.
We should avoid making people change what they have. Especially for those of us that don't have much cash. Realistically $10k is a lot to drop on a H2H challenge if you haven't been given hacked money. It's unreasonable to think that's cool to use a normal financial sum.
What might work better is a recommended crew car. I.E Red Rum Racing suggest that to support our crew we would like to recommend you store in your garage an Elergy in Crew Colour with Crew stamps and orange wheels. (Not saying this is final, it's an example.)
Then people have the option of being part of that group that have the suggested car or not. It would be cool to be in an open public session, start an impromptu and have 12 Red Elergy's wiz by.

If ANYONE tries to make my GTA dude change from his pants and boots then they can go die!
He will NOT be wearing anything but his palm tree pants and his pink boots unless he's feeling cold.
Definitely interested in seeing how it turns out! Right now I have the money to make some adjustments to my garage but we might not have that in a few days time!

For your guy Ash I dont think there could be any other attire lol. Hell while weve still got the madness of 12 yr olds usin tanks in public freeroams we should do a palm pants pink boots passive event... Just go into public lobbies saluting Tank drivers while wearing palm tree pants and pink boots

The idea is cool. Personally, I'm a "My Ride, My Choice" type of person. Half the time I don't even use the crew color. I usually slap the logo on and leave it be.

see i totally agree its a choice thing... and i cant even put my finger on what it is but i like the idea of seeing a group of people in the same car with some uniformity... i used to use crew colour all the time, repping the crew.. then moved comepltely away from it and used my own choices, no i feel im coming back full circle and as my race garage is pretty static, jsut make it all crew coloured, then express my individuality through my second character (although i already need a third lol) @ash.... totally, you me ste, swifty and worth... UK Passive Pants Party...

I like both ways really. It would be cool to have one car with a crew color. On the same thought though, having a crew with all different colors with different cars is cool also as it is like that in real life car clubs. No ones a clone of some one elses car in a real car club.

Character 1, all cars are Lime and Chrome Character 2, all cars are various shades of red
Both have crew badges on every vehicle permitting.
Considering using my 2nd account now to have 2 more characters, so if you see anyone with the PSN "Sith Phillis" you know who it is !!
If a crew car is chosen, my vote would go on the Sultan as most RRR I have played with recently seem to have one in the locker, as for palm pants and pink boots if they come in female sizes I'll join you lol !!

By the way this motor is already claimed as a crew car but agree with Mo it does make for some tasty photo's and when it gets fast and hectic in FM it's an easy way to know what cars to avoid blowing up

I like this idea, but it would have to be on a car with a lot of mod options imo otherwise all of our cars would look exactly the same (i.e. sometimes I change which bumpers/skirts/wings are on my Coquette depending on what color I'm painting it... CF with a loud primary color, or two tone with a dark primary and loud secondary)
And I would think it should be a car that is somewhat rare. That not a lot of people see, like the Tailgater or something (not suggesting that one, although it does have a lot of options and is pretty rare...just using as an example)
But I like the idea! It would be cool to be in a game with strangers and they see 5 or 6 of us roll through in free roam rocking the same cars, flexing. We could do a motorcycle as a crew car, unified colors and do it that way... not a lot of people use motorcycles in free roam. Although idk if you can do the emblem on them.

You can do an emblem on the Akuma gas tank...not sure on the others. I have had the experience of doing a race with several RRR members and one random and we all chose stock Exemplars in crew red. The other guy had a blue whatever...it was pretty cool actually with all the red cars swarming past him at the start line hehe.

See thats what I mean luap, its fun when it happens, ive seen the same in a few "stock" races over on the ps3, wothout customs quite a few of us seem to pick crew red and often the same car
Ive been makin my 1st garage more Rum Red but I cant figure out how to take pearlescent off some of my cars. When ive Switched to crew its left the pearleacent on from the last colour combo???

Buy a classic color first for 800 bucks...leave and come back it should be completely gone. Ah ha. I wondered about this too, I've had the same problem a couple of times and one time where it appears to have solved itself. The 2 I'm stuck with are already crew coloured so paying out 50k to correct it would be a bit of a kick in the balls. In both cases a red pearl shows on the black secondary, the primary is an ultra blue from my original crew and it doesn't show at all. With my Elegy it's not a problem, carbon parts replaced all secondary colours but the front skirt and it's unnoticible. On my Sabre it's a pain, I stole it with a red pearl but didn't realise till after I'd sprayed it, shows up quite a bit and I just have to put up with it if I don't want to payout for the crew respray after a fix. My Tailgater has had a few resprays and a couple of additional pearls, the one I couldn't lose is ancient history.,
