BF BIFTA APPRECIATION THREAD

This is likely going to be purchase #1 once the update arrives and I have a new garage. I bumped my Bifta out to make room for another ride, but I want it back.

 

Mine was (and will be again) painted up like RC from Toy Story.

God dammit....sure enough, the BF Bifta is now $75,000

Basically, all of this happened to me. Went to get one to stick in my second garage, and now you have to pay for Beach Bum DLC vehicles.

 

Seriously bummed !!

i cant believe they started charging for these without warning. correct me if I'm wrong, but they never stated the free period on the bifta was gonna run out and they certainly never said it would be today. if I knew, i would have gladly used one of my 10 car garage spaces on it before today. now I have to pay 75k? brutal. criminal.

This is mine. Fun little car, and great in off road races. Left pic is the current paintjob (black metallic with purple pearlscent, chrome secondary), the right pic is what it looked like before (black on gray).

It's not free anymore. Cost 75,000$ for me. I was excited to buy one for my offroad garage with the new update, but it's not worth 75k to me lol

I had one awhile back. It was fun to drive, but eventually just took up a spot in my garage for other cars I wanted. With the 2nd garage, figure I'd get another one. Especially since it was free. Wrong. $75K now. I wonder why they put a price on the Bifta, but not the Elegy?

The Bifta is one my my favorite cars in this game, It's lightwieght and adorable but a real monster on hills. I think it deserves an appreciation thread!

Love it - it's not a conventional off-roader, but instead it's great at handling on rough terrain like sand, grass, etc. (as befits a beach buggy), and with that handling and the surprising amount of speed you can get out of it, it's really handy at weaving in and out of traffic in the city. Get a roof on it to protect from chopper fire, and it's the ideal getaway car - the lack of doors/glass makes lobbing stickies easy as hell, and you just hop in and out quickly without any fuss (good for armoured truck stick-ups).

Here's mine - arguably the most useful bounty-hunting car I own (for the above reasons):

Turns out, it exists in real life - someone owns a Meyers Manx in matching colours!

I notice this too! I smoke even sanchezs in offroad races with this baby.

I had a Bifta before. I had it fully tuned and fully lowered. The f*cking thing is waaaaayyyy too twitchy. As soon as the ass end starts bouncing, you're a goner. It's very unforgiving.

 

The Bandito is much, much better. You can toss that f*cker around pavement or dirt roads and it will stick like glue. It corners just as tight as the Sanchez, and I've never once spun off the road.

I think what Richie is referring to is the fact that you're very exposed to gunfire in the Bifta, almost as much as on a bike.

I know loads of people hate these appreciation threads. The reason I don't like them is because they make me instantly regret selling the particular vehicle.

 

...I'll get you back one day Bifta! :(

I'd sell my right nut to have one of these in real life.

Here's mine.

 

I can't take much credit for the look; Rockstar designed this one. This is one of the pre-customized NPC cars, this particular one from story mode that I imported a week or two ago when the SP-to-MP glitch was still working on PS4. Other than the "MANX" license plate--who gets that reference?--the appearance of this one is exactly as Rockstar designed. You can't make a Bifta look like this in LSC.

As well as looking cool as I literally just bought this offroader about 25 minutes ago and am done customizing it, but I don't think anyone really thought to mention this but it reminds me alot of an older cartoon called Speed Buggy.

 

Youtube Referrence for those who don't remember or don't know. Fun little cartoon to watch. Almost the same model as the buggy we use. Nifty :D

Probably a bit of a necro but here's mine. I fell in love on the meth mission, driving around like a madman, flinging sticky bombs, blowing up enemies, it was the best fun I had in this game, probably ever. I bought one and decided turned it into what is essentially a go cart, because of the way it handles, and put on road tires, it bounces too much on real off road stuff but it sticks down well and you can really weave your way around roads and npc cars, so I set it up for that. I'll probably make an off road one at some point too. I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more posts in it.

The engine sounds amazing in tunnels too. That howl is just amazing.
