It had 10 seconds on the clock, I had 4 of the hookers in my car that could have given me the required total (which was something like 8). I knew I wasn’t going to make it in time so in desperation I slammed into the barricade between the street and the school hall parking lot.

Amazingly, my car flipped, somersaulted and landed eactly in the blue marker WITH ONE FUCKING SECOND TO SPARE! I passed the mission.

The sheer amount of dumb luck in these games is incredible.

Setting up a road block of oil spills and watching the ensuing chaos of cars careening off the road in all directions.

make sure you have the garage empty at the service station, and load up on weapons and ammo big time. the sniper rifle and some remote bombs are great here.

Run across the street into mulberry station and start wasting people. snipe cops on the street. Stay close to the front door, the cops will not enter through the big open side where the train tracks are if you stay close to the street entrance.

the cops will drive up to the door in their cars, you can blow up their cars with remote bombs, machine gun fire, etc. This will keep the cops from pouring into the station and killing/busting you, but it’s important to always look at the door - if you look away too long the blockade will disappear. Hide behind the benches to limit how much you get shot at.

Kill everything that moves, and after a while the army will send tanks after you but it’s in waves. If you time it right you can jack one of the tanks and drive it across the street and into your garage and save the game. It’s tricky, but it can be done without cheats.

There are so many ways to create mayhem in the game, it’s so much fun. I also enjoyed getting a sanchez, a 2-3 star wanted level, then racing up to mount chiliad. As you go up, you dodge the cops in the broncos and they will careen over the edge more often than not.

good times.
