The Noble Art of Car Acquisition (Without Looking Suspicious)
Let's be honest, in GTA 5, most of the interesting vehicles you'll find aren't exactly parked at dealerships with a "Test Drive Welcome" sign. So, you'll likely be employing the time-tested Grand Theft Auto method of acquisition: borrowing a car "indefinitely" from a forgetful citizen.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
Here's where things get interesting. Unlike console cowboys, PC players don't have fancy buttons with car silhouettes. We've gotta rely on our trusty keyboards, which can be just as effective, if a little less intuitive.
Introducing the Magic Key: F
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
This, my friend, is your key to automotive bliss (or, depending on your driving skills, automotive disaster). Walk up to your chosen chariot, the one that screams "trouble" or "impending heist," and press the F key on your keyboard. Poof! Like a budget-brand James Bond, you'll enter the car,, uh, perhaps breaking a window in the process (hey, entry fees gotta be paid somehow, right?).

Bonus Tip: If you're feeling fancy, holding F for a few seconds will sometimes lower the convertible top, because who doesn't love a little wind in their hair during a police chase?
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Uh Oh, My Car Has a Rude Alarm!
Now, some of these "borrowed" vehicles might come with a built-in security system that sounds like a giant wasp trapped under the hood. Don't panic! This is just Los Santos' way of welcoming you. The alarm will usually die down after a few glorious seconds, allowing you to enjoy your ill-gotten gains… er, temporary loan… in peace.
Pro-Tip: If you're feeling particularly cautious (or just don't enjoy the shrill symphony of car alarms), you can try to find a car that's already unlocked. Look for parked cars with the driver's side door slightly ajar – those are practically gift-wrapped for the enterprising Grand Theft Auto player.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
You're in! Now Get Out There and Cause Some Mayhem (Responsibly)
There you have it! With the power of the F key and a dash of daring, you're ready to explore the sprawling world of Los Santos. Remember, drive safe-ish, and try not to attract too much unwanted police attention (unless, of course, you're feeling spicy).
Now get out there, steal some hearts… er, cars, and make Los Santos your own personal playground (with minimal property damage, we hope).
