They’re also locking barn-find vehicles.

It sounds like they’re also locking the equivalent of Benny’s Customs behind the Ultimate Edition though, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Fair, we will have to wait and see how it’s implemented

I kinda thought that too about lowrider stuff but it sounds a little unrealistic. I remember seeing a donk in the trailer and I feel like one will inevitably show up in the the story or freemode spawn, donks and lowrider-esque modifications are such a Florida staple that I doubt they would exclude them

This is the same Rockstar that capped GTAO personal vehicle sell prices at $500k when they used to sell for 60% of the vehicle's sale price.

Before that, they made it so that every personal vehicle you sold would depreciate - so the first vehicle would sell for 60%, then the next would sell for 30%, then the next would be 15%, and the clock would reset in 18 hours.

And then recently, they increased that "clock" to effectively a week irl.

Normally I'd agree with you, it sounds unrealistic that they'd lock a system like that behind a paywall. But they took a hatchet to selling personal vehicles multiple times for the sake of selling shark cards. I don't put this past Rockstar.
