The De-Chroming of an Entire Garage

So very many layers of tasteless brilliance - a chrome hearse, with dollar-sign rims.

(putting the 'fun' in 'funeral', amirite? :colgate: )

I really like that Baller, looks great with those rims and that paintjob. :)

Painful lesson learned: don't paint your garage in chrome.

 

Luckily I had the foresight to have never wasted my money with such a hideous paint scheme.

Anyone else gone through this transition?

 

My entire garage was filled with all the best vehicles from each class, mostly for racing.

 

Each car was chrome with green money rims, both because it matches my crew colors (green, silver, white) and because, well, I had the cash.

 

But as I've matured in the game, so has my tastes. I'm still seeing chrome Adders, but less and less of them. More creative styles are being applied and I thought it was time to upgrade my garage.

 

However, the downside is how ridiculously expensive it is. A Baller, for example, cost me about $200,000 to fully and upgrade and paint, yet it only sells for $57,000. How does that work? I dunno.

 

Anyhow, it feels great and lends a fresh new excitement to the game. I haven't bought any new vehicles in a while, so this is a treat, despite the $$$.

 

Here's a bit of before/after. Again, curious if many others have gone through the de-chroming of their garage? Cheers!

Blista... sorry, I didn't have the heart to change my baby. She was my first chrome, and she'll stay that way 4eva! ♥

Other vehicles were treated with other themes, like Exemplar to Red Sox theme, Bravado to Halloween, etc...

Now take the decals off and put NY Giants and NY Yankees on them

People with chrome cars... Justin Beiber has a chrome car. Does that answer any questions about good taste? I thought so.

Actually, quite the opposite. I love chroming my cars, it makes idiots rage.

Cars you collected

The baller didn't go for much when you sold it because of what you did to it.

 

Think about it, modded cars in RL never sell for more than what you spent on it.

LOVE this! I hope you don't mind, but I added into my other thread, The GTA5 Online Haiku Challenge.

 

You just made my day! ;)

Since thats not your full garage I'm going to assume you've got a good ol piece of American Muscle in there and therefore own something more manly and less femenine :).

I have a Chradder for this very purpose. I honestly don't know who are more sheepish, the Chriddies or the kiddies that hate on the Chriddies.

And a leopard print car *Facepalm*.

 

Which is an R8, I feel more sorry for the car than the people who seen it TBH.

Okay, so I really took to heart many of the comment you all left - and I'm grateful for them, even the less-than-complimentary one's, which in my opinion, reveal hidden truths about my tastes.

I chose to go back and rethink the cars I have, what I'd like to "say" with them in the game, and the enjoyment I get from playing the game with those particular "board pieces," if you catch my meaning.

So, I got rid of the Billy Turned Six Today colors, like the Optimus Prime and the neons, which are fine for some, but I've kind of moved beyond; I also got rid of the Disney colors and, because I'm an older player, I went with "classy," with just a little touch of obnoxious flare.

I won't post them all, but here's the one car I wouldn't de-chrome, now un-chromed. My perfect little Blista, looking fiery and good to go.

Feel free to share your opinion. All my cars (except the chrome Hearse) all resemble variations of this style. I am happy! ;)

So, again, thanks for the feedback, all. In a way, feels like I just a whole new garage! Cheers!

..Why would you chrome all the cars in your garage??? I mean, it's great that you came to your senses and took it all off, but seriously, that's probably 200K+ down the drain.

 

Probably during the days where everyone had billions so 200k essentially was worthless

Well, they still look quite awful, but definitely an improvement. Keep going!

No there are more than that give or take at a given time. They are just car wraps or plasti dipped usually.

Well this topic certainly proves money can't buy taste.

 

The only thing it truly proves is that some toolbags can't help but comment. ;)

I chromed out my entire garage once, and this guy buzzed in and immediately left. I then knew how awful my cars looked. Never again.
