squid830: So far I've only had one of them show up, but it's automatic and it's also irrelevant if you've upgraded them or not (they appear either way). You just need to put them in your home stash.

Funny you mention the car stash - because it wasn't until I had cleared all of the Watson missions and world opened up to me, and then some, before I realised I could actually use the trunk of my car to stash things!

It would have been more useful if the car trunk stash linked to the base stash - not realistic of course, but I'm pretty sure that all car stashes are linked (could be wrong though?). Mainly because moving stuff between home and car stash is a pain, given that there's an elevator ride between them (but hopefully the car actually stays there in-between trips if you don't call it?).

Speaking of which, it's a bit lame that your cars aren't actually parked somewhere in the parking garage of your building (if they haven't been called lately). Would have made more sense, not to mention be more immersive. When I first got to the garage from my flat, I looked everywhere for my car and was disappointed I had to actually leave the garage before I could even call it!

Hopefully having your car blow up doesn't destroy the car stash... ;)

squid830: Yeah the first time I went back to the garage - thinking that my car would spawn there - I ended up stealing some other car instead. Luckily there happened to be one that I could steal that early in the game, otherwise it's a bit of a walk.

I wonder why the hell we can't call cars from our garage, given that they're not just parked there already? Seems kind of stupid.

Especially since you can call cars everywhere else it seems. A while back I was doing a side mission in a penthouse - so I was literally on the top of this massive building. Due to some key fumbling I accidentally ended up calling my car. My radar went crazy for a while, looked like it was doing loops, so I ignored it and kept going with the mission...

... then when I finished and was about to leave, I noticed my car had managed to wedge itself on the staircase leading between the two penthouse floors... !

It was in pretty bad shape, almost on fire, and I didn't try to enter it - but it somehow managed to make it to the top of the building... Probably the strangest bug yet... ;)

ast486: Wow... the little car who could climb stairs.
