You can park them longways as opposed to parallel and as long as a majority of the car is within the lines, you can save up to 6 cars, depending on the size. Here's me at my safehouse in South Bohan. It really does save your cars when you leave and come back, otherwise I wouldn't be sharing it.

I parked it there because if I need some quick cash, I can drive them over to the garage for an easy 7k.

Yes I like Banshees, they look live Vipers and thats my dream car.:)

Just figured that I would share the info.

That's pretty cool, I never thought to do it like that. I usually have a couple cars, and up to 3 bikes in a single spot, so it's not surprising that it works.

However, that seems like a lot of trouble, especially if you want to get into one of the cars in the middle! Do you just drive the ones on the outside, or take your time to move the outside ones if you want to drive one of the others?

lol I jack a car driving by and bump it out.

I really just drive the ones on the outside and save the ones in the middle for cash or for whatever reason.

Eventually I'll get around to getting more Sultan RS's saved because I don't like driving all the way to the last island to get them.

I gotcha. Yeah, I have a total of like, 12 NRG's saved at my Algonguian safehouses so that I don't have to go back to Alderney to get one for the stunt jumps.

Good tip though.

I personally haven't any problems. I got my 100% no problem and no cheating.

thats the same way i got the chain reaction achievement, i lined up 14 or so bikes next to each other, saved coz of heat level and in case it didn`t work out the first time, came back down, marvelled at the beauty of 14 bikes parked beautifully next to each other and threw in a few grenades, i got the achievement the first time ^^

i dont get how to do this, i tried this at my safehouse in alderney, and i tried putting 4 cars just the same way shown in the picture above and i didnt work. i even tried putting a bike in between 2 normal parked cars and i lost one car after loading. how do you do this?

A majority of the car has to be in the yellow space. At least the engine space has to be in for it to work. There really isn't any trick to it so I don't know what to say honestly.

im a bit sceptical as to whether this will work 100% of the time too. however i think the problem may lie with you parking the bike next to the car rather than just all cars as i had something similar happen. I had two cars in a spo and parked an extra bike next to one of them (touching virtually). After saving and reloading the car that wasnt touching the bike had disappeared!

I did that with 4 cars in my Algonquin safehouse and lost them all when I restarted my console to play the next day. Infernus, SuperGT, Banshee & FBI Buffalo. :'(

I've never tried to fit more than two cars into my safehouse parking.....but I know a helicopter fits and stays.....it's just kinda hard getting it parked :woop:

Really strange, but fortunately I never had any of my cars disappear.

I had this happen too, maybe you can't mix them (bikes and cars)??

If you wanted to get to the middle cars could you not just jump on to it and 'Y' to get in, would have to be a convertible though I guess?!

i have to say, i got 100% not saving a single car. i just jacked the first car i saw and away you go. Nice idea tho

Downloki, this is a very nice way of getting that achievement. This is the way i would have done it if id have thought of it. Good work

I'm gonna say that it did NOT work for me. I had a pmp600 and a sultan rs in there. I then drove two hoops rides and parked it like you did, and my PMP 600 and Sultan rs are gone now. So this did not work for me. Thanks anyways

im fairly convinced that you cant mis them from what is being said here. maybe if no one confirm that they were able to mix multiple cars being saved with bikes we would be a bit more certain
