Another funny thing is if you steal someone's car from outside their house
and drive around the block or out of the area and come back, they've already
bought a replacement...and usually the same car.

this is why it is called "a game".

It's worth pointing out that the only game in the series so far to have
an ignition noise when you enter a vehicle is GTA2.
I've also noticed that if you leave a car to make it stay in the game's
memory (Running away from it so the doors stays open), the engine
doesn't cut out. If you exit a car and CJ slams the door, the engine
does go out, and the headlights turn themselves off.
Doesn't happen every time for some reason.
On a similar note, does anybody else think that they changed the
characteristics of the cars for the Los Santos Riots? They seem to
explode much more easily.
Cheers,
Rob

Yes, the cars explode much more easily in the riots, but also during
any gang war.

that's one way of putting it. Those other burning vehicles are
literally booby traps but your car can blow apart just passing one...
not so bad for CJ but if he happens to have Sweet or someone in with
him it's back to the beginning of whatever tedious mission you're on.
I'm not a fan of the later section although the rioters themselves are
funny

A professional car thief hotwires his steals.
And if you consider that a "day" in GTA time is 24 minutes in real time (one
real second = one game minute), then everything is actually happening very
slowly!

Maybe insurance companies give better service in the GTA cities. Heaven
knows the premiums must be high enough.

Can't say I've noticed the gang war cars. One thing I have noticed is
that the first time I went for territories in Los Santos at the start
of the game, the gang members in the cars (Mostly Ballas, but
occasionally Vagos) didn't get out and start shooting.
Upon doing them on CJ's return to LS, they now do.
If anybody's still having trouble doing these I worked out a sure-fire
(Excuse the pun) tactic; Run about a block away, turn back and snipe
them all. If they're all running from the same direction (And you can
lure them too) they'll all line up in a running line of cannon fodder!
Joy!
Cheers,
Rob

Actually, more like 90mph. Average walking speed is almost 4mph, and
multipled by 24 (since the GTA clock is 24 times faster than a real clock)
means something way above 72mph and probably just below 96mph.
Running speed is between 15mph and 20mph, which translates to 360 to 480mph!

I bow to your more accurate mathematics! I wonder how fast a PCJ600 at full
