* You can park more than one car in your [[safehouse]] parking spot by making sure that at least one tire of vehicle is within the yellow box. Technically, you can save as many cars as you can fit into the box, though users might face the infamous car eating glitch. | * You can park more than one car in your [[safehouse]] parking spot by making sure that at least one tire of vehicle is within the yellow box.

* Buy [[armor]]! If you know a firefight is coming up, buy yourself some armor. If the mission's begun, don't worry. The second destination listed in the taxis besides the "objective" is the weapons store and by looking at the map of armor (on this site probably) you can save yourself 300-500 dollars. | * Buy [[armor]]!

* To nick a car without too much conflict in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], bring up your gun, point it at the driver of the car you want from the side of the road, the driver will then get scared and let you have the car. Doing this right in front of a police, or a police car will not attract any attention (likely design flaw). Most of the time, the driver will step out, running away.

Keep in mind this doesn't happen every time, the driver may attempt to duck and reverse to get away from you or may just duck behind the dashboard. As a note, you will get wanted level for pointing your gun at members of law enforcement, and will also receive a 1-star wanted level when you actually enter the car. Another way is to hit the car. The driver will usually get out and attack you. Doing so will get them arrested by Johnny Law himself, which can be quite a laugh as you were really the one committing the crime. This may take longer than just using the gun and scaring them away, as the cop that goes to the passenger side walks slower than most elderly women in the game. | ||
* If you just need to buy some ammo or food real quickly, when the cabbie drops you off, wait for his/her light to come back on and whistle for the cab again. Then run and buy your stuff. Come back out and he'll be waiting for you right where he left you, if not, then he's around the corner. | * If you just need to buy some ammo or food real quickly, when the cabbie drops you off, wait for his/her light to come back on and whistle for the cab again.

* Many of the Assassination Missions can be simplified if you can get hold of a helicopter.
