The problem is the lag all those people you see in chat are talking about. I hope your luck holds because that's all it is, just dumb luck.

Unplayable. Usually when servers were this bad I went solo on some arenas, now I can't even do those without freezing.
You do realise the amount of ram on a PC matters very little here ?
even with as low as 4gig ram and a 512 graphics card it should run fine , it's a console port :)
Im running 60meg internet a 6 core 16 gigs ram and a GTX 660 card i shouldnt even see a tiny spike due to PC performance but some days i cant even make it half way through an arkfall without lagging out and DCing. I played this game shortly after release with my old rig which was a quad core 8 gigs ram and a 9800 GTX+ card and it ran perfect. There was lag but only when there were like 40 people trying to kill a Hellion. Now 10 people try to do an arkfall of any sort and half lag out and some DC others run just fine. PC performance isnt what causes the lag not when my daughter plays this on the ps3 and it has the same issues cars disappearing DCing and straight up lag. I watched her play tonight and helped her with a few things and she was driving from the crash site to KTAM and her ATV disappeared 4 times before the 1st bridge. She got annoyed and quit.
Yo, Big Jim:
Not counting blessings? <<The innocent pony asked, facetiously>>
In the last week, I have yet to have any of my vehicles go airbourne, flying up over the landscape, as I slowly corkscrew my way east out to sea......
I haven't had any vehicles go swimming slowly down into the ground to get stuck below the map, either. With, or without, wheels and tires.
But they do <still> seem to get repossessed as I'm driving them, on a distressingly frequent basis.
And that lag? It's amazing how they've managed to keep some parts of the game alive, just for the guys who need some immutable proof that the 'world' is constant.

Believe it or not, yes. The lag has taken most of the wind out of my sails these days. I like to log in to do contracts with my 5k+ toon. Maybe some emergencies and some SV shenanigans. Lately the first site I hit lags out so bad it's unplayable so I log out and back in. If that doesn't work, I quit for the day. Playtime is way down lately due to that. I have always loved the game since day one. Hate some of the changes though for sure.(dlc5 bullet sponge/f2p patch) Still put in some time on the PTS but there isn't really much to test these days. The staff layoffs and budget cuts killed what potential this game had beyond what it is now. Hopefully the writing and voice acting for the new content coming up won't be too awful.
Fingers crossed.
The game is a peach. Its management is, sadly, something else entirely.
