Warden1972 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This is how I got this achievement not 5 minutes ago: The Phantom Corsair is worth 24,000 and the Deusenberg Walker Coupe is worth 25,000. Just destroy both of these, finish the case and you'll have it. They're both hidden cars, so their locations will be on the map. Then again, you could just destroy a bunch of hidden cars and unlock the achievement, but those two cars are the only ones with values posted on the Social Club Website. I used the Corsair as well. Very fast and surprisingly tough. I kept destroying them over a period of 30 min or so and wound up with over $178K in damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENAz666 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This was way easy, I ended up going overboard, and racked up like 300k worth of damage. About 10 minutes worth of head on collisions got me there in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNUCKS x360a Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hey to anyone going way over the amount, (I'm sure it was on this site I read it) When you hit $47,000, your partner will say, "You're a Goddamned Menace!" It took me about 10-15 mins of easily crashing cars untill he said it, I smashed two more up for good luck & had $48,000 at the end, kind of easy!

Its one of his random lines for driving dangerously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNUCKS x360a Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Listen to him carefully dude, he ONLY uses the word "Menace" once you reach 47k... I did it two days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just roam around 2-3 blocks away and come back, the firetruck will respawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikehW Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Listen to him carefully dude, he ONLY uses the word "Menace" once you reach 47k... I did it two days ago. I can confirm this is false. I just sat here, did it until he said that line and had only reached 38k for Vehicle Damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost FI Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Players are wasting a lot of time here. Just use the most expensive car in the game, 25,000$ one, and crash it twice. I got it this way. Head to Social Club if you don't know the values of all vehicles. Originally Posted by KNUCKS x360a Listen to him carefully dude, he ONLY uses the word "Menace" once you reach 47k... I did it two days ago. Lie. He will say it at random times. When I was crashing around for fun the partner said it more than five times during the time where I didn't even reach to 10 000$. 'You're a god damn menace!'

I can confirm its not. I did it myself. Lie. He will say it at random times. When I was crashing around for fun the partner said it more than five times during the time where I didn't even reach to 10 000$. 'You're a god damn menace!' Lie?!

It seems like your case was a lucky coincidence, I mean you've already got 3 people disagreeing with what you've said from their experiences.

maddog walker Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 i used the hidden cars method and got the achievement with no problems in the drivers seat level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc123 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Gonna try it out later today on the driver seat case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1000013 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 As soon as you get to the case ratings screen just dashboard and then you can retry without having to do the whole case over again. How can I track this on the social club? Some previous poster said you could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masta Mylez Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I wrecked the two hidden cars 3 time a piece and a few other random cars, about a half hours work and got the achievement. Wasn't that as bad as I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean468 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just a tip. Destroy hidden cars as they are worth lots and make 1 or 2 trips to Hollywood Police Station and pick up a firetruck. It pays... http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll183/DarklordZerato/CaseDollars.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably have to be more of the hidden cars, because destroying those two hidden cars, along with some regular ones, only netted me $14,890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeker75 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 How can I track this on the social club? Some previous poster said you could. After you hit a save point, go to the social club (use your computer, laptop, phone, etc.) and login (you must obviously have previously linked your gamertag to the account). Click on "Cases" to see the case tracker. Click on "Traffic" (assuming you're doing "The Driver's Seat"). Check the top right corner of the screen to see your current damage. Once you see that you've enough, complete the case ASAP. I used the fire truck method and racked up over $66,000 on vehicle damages alone (not including city damage and injuries).

wingless Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for the information with how to track it on the Social Club, I wish you could simply do it in game however. I almost have all of the achievements, I just have to find all the damn cars and five star the missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelNine Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 This is how I got this achievement not 5 minutes ago: The Phantom Corsair is worth 24,000 and the Deusenberg Walker Coupe is worth 25,000.. I was bouncing back and forth between these two (fast traveling), destroyed them 4 times each (engine fire, partner hops out), assumed that was good enough so I went and finished the case. I ended with about 41,000. So I re-loaded my last checkpoint. New strat. The Walker Coupe is a POS and a gawdamn pain to drive so I went straight for the Phantom. Those bastards get up to speed real quick and get the job done. I destroyed it within 5 blocks and fast traveled back (they re-spawn surprisingly) and repeated 2 more times. 3 destroyed Phantoms gave me $19,000 and bumped my total to $60k for that cheev. Thanks for the tips. Definitely beats destroying 50 cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUglyCasanova Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I did this on your final Murder mission "The Quarter Moon Murders". This is a great mission to do this on with the help of Rockstars Social Club site because there are 7 different places where you find a letter, and finding each one of those updates your stats on the social club site. I did this between finding those letters and checking the site and ended up with 55k of damage, so I wasn't wasting unnecessary time getting way more.
