Avoid hotwiring cars
Use the following trick to avoid hotwiring a car with your tools or PDA. Enter the car, then immediately exit and get back in. You should now be able to start the car. Note: The car alarm may briefly turn on.
Avoid paying tolls

Quickly extinguish yourself
When you are on fire (for example, after touching a flaming car), blow into the microphone to almost instantly extinguish yourself. It usually takes about two tries.
Super acceleration
While at 0 mph, hold A + Y. Release Y, and your wheels will burnout and you will go fast.
Burning burnout
Get in a very fast car or motorcycle. Hold Y + B, then hold Left or Right to do a spinning burnout. Release Y + B for a speed boosted start with a wheelie. Your burning tire tracks can burn the people behind you.
Go-Kart
Go to the bottom right corner of the first island (where Mikhail Faustin’s house is in GTA 4 ). Go all the way down to the bottom until reaching the last house, then go three houses to the right. Go into the back garden to find a Go-Kart. Note: If it does not appear, go to the front door, and return and it will appear if you are at the correct house.
Easily complete “Store Wars” mission
To easily complete this mission, first get a police car, and log onto the police computer. Search for an arson crime (fire making criminals). Do the Vigilante mission as usual, but when you kill the criminals, pick up the flame-throwers. Start the “Store Wars” mission, and quickly park two cars at each end so it makes it difficult for the vans to get past. Let the vans drive towards you (or you go towards them). Equip the flame thrower, and hold A for approximately two seconds. The vans will explode very quickly.
“Here Be Dragons!” message
Take a boat to any corner of the map to see the message “Here Be Dragons!” message on the ocean floor.
