Grand Theft Auto 5: Entering Cars 101 (Because Apparently, We All Need a Refresher)
Let's face it, folks. We've all been there. You're cruising the vibrant streets of Los Santos in GTA 5, living the dream (or maybe just trying to outrun the cops after a particularly sticky situation). You see the perfect getaway car, a veritable chariot of justice (or injustice, depending on your perspective). But then...disaster strikes! You reach for the door handle and...nothing?
Is the car broken? Are you experiencing a sudden and hilarious case of amnesia? Fear not, my fellow adventurers in crime (or leisure)! Getting into a car in GTA 5 is about as easy as stealing candy from a baby...well, maybe not that easy, but definitely easier than navigating the complexities of Los Santos traffic.
Here's your one-stop guide to becoming a vehicular virtuoso:

The Keyboard Cowboy's Guide to Car Acquisition (or "Where's the Dang Button?")
For those brave souls who navigate the chaos with a keyboard and mouse, here's the golden nugget of information you crave: The key to unlocking automotive bliss is the mighty F key. Yes, that same key you use to pay respects (RIP). Just approach your chosen steed, tap F, and voila! Your character will enter the car with all the grace of a ballerina...or maybe a drunken hippo, depending on their recent activities.
Pro Tip: Be mindful of who's already in the car. You might accidentally initiate a very unwelcome cuddle puddle if you're not careful.

The Controller Connoisseur's Carriage Conundrum (or "Button Mashing for Beginners")
For the controller crew, the answer is equally simple. Just nudge your way up to the car and press the Y button (Xbox) or the Triangle button (PlayStation). Your character will then assume their rightful place behind the wheel, ready to cause glorious mayhem (or, you know, drive to the grocery store).
Side Note: If you find yourself repeatedly throwing punches at the air instead of entering the car, there's a chance you might be in first-person mode. Hold down the right stick on your controller to switch back to third-person and try again. Trust me, punching the air is a terrible way to steal a car.

Bonus Round: Advanced Car-Jacking Techniques (for the Truly Nefarious)
Alright, so you've mastered the basic art of entering a car. But what if you crave a little more...drama? Well, my friend, prepare to unleash your inner GTA villain. If you approach a car that's already occupied (and the owner isn't exactly thrilled about it), pressing the F key (PC) or Y/Triangle button (consoles) will make your character yank the poor soul out and take their place. Just be aware that this might attract some unwanted attention from the authorities (and possibly the very disgruntled car's previous owner).
Disclaimer: I do not condone violence or grand theft auto (in real life, that is). But hey, it's GTA! Let your inner bad boy (or bad girl) run wild...within the confines of the game, of course.

So there you have it! With this newfound knowledge, you're well on your way to becoming a Los Santos legend (or at least someone who can consistently get into cars without looking like a complete fool). Now get out there and explore the open road (or nearest donut shop)!
