Grand Theft Auto: Entering Vehicles 101 - A Not-So-Serious Guide
So, you're fresh off the plane to Los Santos, ready to chase the American dream (which in GTA 5, often involves a healthy dose of petty theft and vehicular mayhem). But hold on there, buckaroo! Before you go all Dominic Toretto and steal that sweet ride, you gotta know the basics: how to actually get in the darn car.
This ain't your grandma's driving simulator (unless your grandma moonlights as a getaway driver, then kudos to her!). Here's a not-so-serious guide to entering cars in GTA 5, guaranteed to have you cruising the streets like a pro (or at least a semi-competent criminal).
Method 1: The Polite Approach (For Suckers)
This method involves approaching an unlocked car and sheepishly pressing the designated button (F on PC, Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox). Boring! Who wants to be polite in a game titled Grand Theft Auto? This is about breaking the rules, not following them (except maybe traffic laws... mostly).
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.

Method 2: The "Borrower" Technique
See a shiny new car and gotta have it? No problem! GTA 5 offers a unique "borrowing" program, entirely unsolicited by the original owner. Simply walk up to the car, mash the button like you're playing Dance Dance Revolution, and your character will politely evict the current driver through the nearest window.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Tip: If the driver seems particularly attached to their car (read: pulls out a weapon), consider using a different "borrowing" method.
Method 3: The "Fast and Furious" Entry
QuickTip: Save your favorite part of this post.
Channel your inner Vin Diesel with this impressive (yet slightly unrealistic) move. Simply approach a moving car (the faster the better, for maximum style points), jump through the open window (aiming is optional!), and land perfectly in the driver's seat.

Warning: This method may result in spectacular crashes, hilarious ragdoll physics, and a hefty repair bill (assuming you survive).
Pro-Tip: For an extra dose of GTA-logic, try jumping through the sunroof.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
Method 4: The "I Totally Meant to Do That"
Sometimes, the best way into a car is purely accidental. Carefully reverse your own vehicle into a parked car. If done just right (or terribly wrong), you might just clip the door open. Presto! Instant (and slightly mangled) entry.
Disclaimer: This method is not recommended for those seeking a pristine getaway car (or a functional spine).
So there you have it! A comprehensive guide (well, maybe not that comprehensive) to entering cars in GTA 5. Remember, the key is to embrace the chaos, experiment with different techniques, and most importantly, have fun (while adhering to local traffic laws, of course).
Now get out there and steal... I mean, borrow some cars! Just try not to get arrested (too often).
