How does vehicle insurance work?
I steal a car, get it insured, leave garage and then it's says I can ring the company to get car back.
I leave game and it's gone bad so is the money I spent.
Do I need to own a garage or just shitty server issues?

If your car is gone, just call the insurance people to file a claim.

They really should've just came out and said last week that they were pushing it back another couple weeks. Yes, everyone would've bitched but it would've been better than this abomination of a launch where people's single player progress is now in jeopardy.
Of course that's assuming another couple of weeks would've been enough time to get their shit together. As of now it's been three days and it seems like problems are just getting worse.

Assuming the game didn't glitch, you should see a car icon on your map from the GPS tracker. If not, then it's either glitched or your car got blown up somehow and you'll have to call the insurance company to get a replacement.
Phew- good to hear! We had some amazing races!
I'll probably get some sushi, and then reassess!

So just to be clear, there's no free aim lobby or playlist in GTAO, like in RDR or MP3? That's the one thing that I feel is going to hurt this game in the long run and make everything Rockstar's tried to do to make this game amazing go down the shitter, because no matter what it's still a LT + RT spamfest. Why they have to be so adamant about shoving lock on aiming as standard when they've spent years to improve the gameplay enough to where it can be played like a legit TPS is beyond me. The random deaths in freeroam whilst driving or getting gunned down from halfway across a map in deathmatch would be no where near frustrating if I could be comfortable knowing that the other guy was actually aiming. Hell, I'd give them props for being good shots. At the moment? I never feel like dying has been fair. Is it really that hard for them to develop real assisted aiming, like most other console shooters?

Hopefully it's maintenance + patch. There was a really stupid exploit Rockstar left in GTAO that allowed people to get cash fast at the expense of straining the servers.

Go in the quick menu (select/back) and recall your car, you can also set who can enter in you car
There is free aim lobbies
There is- you've got to set your Aiming settings in Single Player to Free Aim, and then go online. You're definitely right about lock-on changing the way the game is played in the long run, so enter a free aim lobby!
Also, if someone on your friend list is in a Lock-on lobby, it'll tell you if you want to confirm going into a new lobby where the setting is different should you choose to join their game.
Free aim always! The new challenges of trying to go through a mission on Hard, with the precise aiming of enemies is thrilling. We had to plan out our attacks to take out literally six guys. Two shots too many, and you're gone!
I was in a free aim lobby at first but now I got stuck in an aim assist one. I've gone back to my SP game and i'm still getting thrown into aim assist. :|
EDIT: Ok, so if you get put into an aim assist lobby, it also changes your SP aiming so you need to go back and change it again.

How do you access them? Edit: nvm
Oh wow, that's how you do it? Well, Rockstar definitely did a poor job of explaining that one.
But in the long run that actually sounds great. And hear I was thinking that would just turn off my lock on but keep everyone elses on (Which sounds like the worst). If turning it off means I'm put in a lobby with others with free aim automatically that's great. Thanks for the heads up!
Dreamfall explains it above. It's def not a perfect system, but it exists

That's the thing I can't call up, the number is gone, no symbol and when I use the BACK menu it's says I don't own a car.
Marleyman, the legend- we'll be crewing up in no time! I swear after you get past that tutorial race, you're home free.
I sat there, and just launched into online- if I didn't get in the race, I quit the dash. Repeated that for 2 hours and more until it worked.
Once in, we've been having a relatively smooth time. Activities for hours, mission invites to sessions- it's been wild.

Yup looks like. I'm hoping its just that the cloud server is down.
Anyone fancy doing this from the Xbox GAF crew? Could do with enough to buy an apartment and garage to start off.
You probably lost that progress, then.
My insurance is also gone - but I hopefully we can rebuy it with it being glitched forever.
Anyone ever rebought it after the losing the number past the tutorial?
dreamfall; you know I want to play with you guys. I will try hard again tonight; hope for the best!

Servers probably overloaded by the influx of kids coming home from school. After reading the horror stories of people losing characters, I'm staying off until they go to sleep.
It worked flawlessly this morning. Switched between characters and even joined a full free roam lobby so Ithink its work being done.

Glitch or... Wrong insurace? There's two option but i don't know the difference between them. I use the first, is some sort of microchip that save your vehicle.

I'm past tutorial I just go to pay n spray with car re-buy and it's done.
It just won't save but it's taking my money.
Doesn't bother me that much because I make 9k every couple of in game hrs by selling cars.

Can you buy micro transaction stuff yet?
Probably a bad idea considering the current game save problems.

One car per day cycle
The microchip just shows you where your car is on the map. The insurance just allows you to replace your vehicle if it gets destroyed.
They disabled it earlier, guessing it still is.

Looks like my character is gone for good, was able to join online without any server alerts but it just sends me straight to the empty character slots
"UK PS3"
Same here. Played for around 20 minutes, turn my PS3 off, then when I came back my character was gone (PAL 40GB PS3 here, from Italy).
I'll wait a couple of days before trying again.
