Albany Washington Appreciation Thread


Halal Cyborg

Recommended Posts

Found one via google but it was locked and on here my search brought nothing...

 

http://gtaforums.com/topic/719863-albany-washington-appreciation-thread/

 

tbf i had it in the classic look for a while as those stock wheels are gorgeous but decided to give it a bit of a sexier look...

OT this is a seriously underrated car and drives really well and is very well balanced...excellent mission vehicle and very stylish too...obviously it's all personal taste and maybe I am alone in my love of this vehicle but I'd be surprised if I was!

 

So let's see a few more people...this car is like a lincoln continental right?

 

This is kinda like my dance with the devil car hehe

I went looking for one last night. I haven't done any mods yet so it's still stock, but the handling was very impressive and I like it because it reminds me of a car one of the guys in The Sopranos would drive. Thinking of getting a Granger and making a copy of Tony Sopranos Suburban from the first few seasons.

always been tempted to get more suv's but having 2 already i just can't justify it...the grainger is a pretty tough looking vehicle no doubt though...

 

and yeah this has superb handling...i have a schafter, warrener, stratum & a washington in sedans and I suspect this would be second behind the schafter

 

Just checked the spreadsheet and in fact the warrener is fractionally ahead https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nQND3ikiLzS3Ij9kuV-rVkRtoYetb79c52JWyafb4m4/edit#gid=1687911233

 

it's almost 2 seconds faster a lap than a stratum too even though I love my stratum dearly

I've found myself more drawn to Sedans lately for some reason.

Until I hit Lvl100 I felt I didn't have the driving skills needed to have a car full of people rolling with me, especially if I did something dumb or embarrassing.

In the last few weeks I've picked up a Stratum, Sultan, Warrener and now the Washington. I also got a Huntley S, but obviously that's not a Sedan.

I dig the idea of everyone rolling up to a mission together in one vehicle, plus I am getting into Heist Prep mode for the future..

As soon as I get home from work I will do up the Washington how I want and drop some pics in the thread, I definitely want to keep it and have as a chill vehicle to drive in free roam or missions when it's just friends/crew.

I find most people don't want anything to do with a plain car on missions unless they are low levels or don't have their ride at the start of a mission.

I did a few missions with randoms yesterday with my Stratum, a Lvl 9 was like "Wtf is with the soccer mom wagon?" after 4 missions and going to freemode he says "Can you help me find one of those?"

Hahaha, only one person on the forums with appreciation for the car. It's a rust bucket that has suspension to give the illusion of a cigarette boat drifting along the streets, ugly as f*ck modded, wouldn't touch it stock either.

you can't change anything visually other than the colour suspension and wheels so unsure what you mean by ugly as f*ck modded...

 

would you care to elaborate what you mean it's a little difficult to understand

I had it for awhile now and i have many fond memeries driving my friends around with it. It's actually one of more attractive looking city cars in the game to me.

It was one of my first cars, along with my stanier. Still have both. Being a long time fan and owner of panther platform cars, these two were a must. Also, this car is a rep of the '03-'11 lincoln town car

Might change the color to match the silver, on my real life '97 town car

Love this thing. I based the colour of Corrado "Junior" Sopranos Town Car that he 'loses' when suffering from dementia. It's a very deep dark blue, almost looks black unless you are in the sunlight

I have an unreasonable dislike for this car for being an Albany instead of a Dundreary.

 

Albany is for Cadillacs and luxury GM-based cars. :panic:

White walls... seriously?

I think this car pulls it off, it has a certain swagger and if you could drop it right down it would be a lowrider for sure

Modded can range from custom rims, custom paint, tinted windows and suspension. Just because it doesn't have custom bumpers or side skirts or hood, or even spoiler, it doesn't mean it isn't modded. Modded is a way for the car modifying community to say modify. Custom rims make the car modified, custom paintjobs make the car modified, custom suspension makes the car modified, window tints make the car modified.

 

Do you understand yet?

I do understand what you mean now thanks!

 

So by modded you mean cabernet red instead of black tinted windows and whitewalls!

 

makes perfect sense to call those modifications!

I like it.That makes two then, huh? Oh wait, I forgot, so does everyone else on this "appreciation" (Notice how it doesn`t say the opposite) that posted above it. No one told you to click on this thread, title said what it was. It didnt ask for your opinion of the car.

Tl;dr: Goes below all logic to insult a car when it clearly is an appreciation thread.

 

 

This car looks good. Would make one if my console still worked. Has its own unique look.

I should pick this up again now that I have a third garage. The handling is f*cking unreal on this thing.

Appreciation, regarded as recognition of quality or judgement and opinion? So yes, in a form, I have the right to post my opinion of "appreciation" (in this case lack of), towards the said car.

 

Y'know how you said you like it? Yeah I don't, just an input on the discussion, which isn't only for the one-sided.

I neither like nor dislike the Washington, to me it's just another traffic car. But I'm not going to see a thread that's called what this one is and come in here and take a dump. I see no need to try to make other people feel bad or stupid just because they don't like the same things I do. I'm glad there are players that like this car, and all the other cars I don't care for, because it would be very boring if we were all driving around in the same thing.

 

Why come in here just to say this car sucks? Honestly, what is the point of that? This thread is for people that like this car, not for everyone to give their opinion on it. If you don't like it, that's fine, but there's no need to take a dump on this thread. Just go find a thread about a car you DO like and go talk there about how cool it is.

 

In other words, have some basic human decency and class. Jesus goddammed Christ, is that too f*cking much to ask for?

I like this thing. I have one fully modded(performance wise) and can easily out maneuver supercar muppets in the city. On the highway, not so much. But the handling on this thing is great.
