Mad Max "Let's be overly specific" challenge
Well... This challenges just killing me...
Got all the challenges and stuck with "Let's be overly specific".
I need to kill 1 vehicle during storm.
During 3 hours of trying i got 2 storms.
The first one was a massage "Storm approaching" i saw an enemy vehicle and start chasing it, while running after it the Storm never started, seems like we drove of it.
The second one began as lighting strike storm with no wind... found few enemies killed it. No challenge counted.
The car i'm using "Aurelian the Ready" archangel.

Is there some places where storms are more often?

Thanks!

UPDATE - The following did work by the way. I just went to Jeet's Stronghold and grabbed a Rammerhead, parked it just outside the stronghold on that long platform, called in Chumbucket with the Aurelian, sat there in the Aurelian next to the empty Rammerhead and played Mario Maker on the Wii U tablet while occasionally touching the controller to make sure it didn't sleep or anything. Finally a storm came, thunderpooned the Rammerhead and got the achievement.

Can you just supply the enemy car yourself? I mean, go to a Stronghold, take out any enemy car and just park it, call Chumbucket with your flare and wait? I've got like 4 challenges (including this one) to go and am hoping it will work, sounds incredibly boring but am hoping you don't actually have to find an enemy driving in the storm.

Hey mate.
Thanks. It also work with other challenges. Like u need to defeat 5 Rammerheads with head-to-head strike. I did it this way. Go out in rammer head. Than call chum in Archange and blow Rammerhead.

Here's an easier way that worked for me. Take a sturdy enemy vehicle from your collection. Drive it to a map edge near the big empty. Call Chum with Aurelian. Push the vehicle in the Big Empty until you're taking damage. Destroy vehicle, get achievement, fast travel out before you die. Quite simple, but annoying.

This guy lists a good place to go:

"I've posted this a couple of times in this thread and others, but areas of The Big Nothing where you take damage count as a storm. For the Eye of the Needle challenge, there is a cliff near The Reconvene Death Race in Wailing Wind region that can be used to get this trophy. I'll try to explain as best as I can.

Travel to The Reconvene Death Race location and follow the road to the right down a small hill. You will see a large open area on the left, turn into this area and go straight ahead (there is a Scavenging location here as a point of reference). As you drive forward you will see the ground slope down in the middle and up on the left and right. Take the slope that goes up on the right and drive forward. You will get the message about being in the Big Nothing but just keep driving until you reach the edge of a large cliff. Stop, back up a bit, and then drive forward and nitro boost off the cliff. As soon as you land you will start taking damage, so pause the game and check to see if the Through the Eye of the Needle challenge has increased by one. If it did then you're half way there, if not you can try again. Either way, immediately fast travel back to The Reconvene so that you don't die. If you die in The Big Nothing the jump won't count, so make sure you fast travel out before you die.

Basically, you can use The Big Nothing to get any of the challenges done that require you to be in a storm, you just need to be at the point where you start to take damage."
