Drove fast from the bar, drifted right to CJ's house, bailed out right before the car hit the fence.

How did you do that without hitting breaking the fence beneath?

[josepha916]

The black trash bag works like a ramp, apparently. This is my first time after many, many times driving and drifting to CJ's house though, so I don't know for sure how. I probably can't do it again.

i riding my bike at top speed in las venturas airport and i bail out at the time i hit a shamal wing. And somehow i teleported to the outside off the airport. Maybe a glitch

Was driving home to save after a normal mission after the mission of planting a bug to the ship.. A beagle exploded in my front and my car got set in fire..

 

EDIT:

I was doing other mission and I saw a Rustler in bad conditions in the sky..  Atleast it didn't exploded and crashed right on me (Apparently we have suicide bombers in PS2?)

[chatD4VIS-360]

I literally just landed perfectly on the parachute mission and it didn't trigger so I had to suicide which resulted in mission failed and all the flight missions starting over. Fml. ios version.

wow..i knw the feeling!!!!

[Deus Ex]

There were a lot of them, let's see.

Once I jumped out of plane and fell on a car and survived, got just a small health damage.

[roxana.fantasy]

There's this mission u have to go on the top of a mountain and hit the police helis, when i was riding there, i passed a small town, and i saw a plane in a yard :| i jumped out of my car to get the plane(i was so excited) but as soon as i opened the door and sat, it exploded and i was WASTED:| )
Another cool one, which u might seen it, is that some cars are some how stuck by their front in the earth and their back in the air! That is so coool:))

[Avskygod0]

This happened to me a long time ago, but it still is pretty strange and i never posted it.

 

Shortly put, i entered a exploded car and could drive it. Yes, exploded car. 

[Hobs]

Never! but man would be fun how did this happen? i assume some sort of a "glitch" im intrigued to find out ill hop on now and see if it doesn't happen to me!

have you ever randomly teleported from idle wood to ocean docks or from one place to another. me and my mate wwhere  doing 2 player on ps2 and I hit a police bike, then teleported to ocean docks

Yesterday on free-roam, I got 1 star for some crime I did (don't remember exactly what I did), a cop on foot then came running at me. Some random GSF members chased him away, I helped them and AK-ed the cop from about 50 meters distance. Still only 1 star. Then a new cop came running for me, I AK-ed him too. Still just 1 star! All this happened in Ganton.

On the contrary, I have a very few times gotten two stars just from jacking a HPV1000.

Yes, many many times when on a two-wheel vehicle. PS2 free-roam single player.

In my experience, shooting at a cop with 1 star, regardless of the distance and regardless of whether you kill him or not, it'll upgrade to 2 stars. Strangely, killing 2 cops with a melee attack will remain at 1 star.

 

When you say you've "gotten two stars just from jacking a HPV1000", do you mean you went from 0 to 2 stars just like that?

 

This reminds me of a weird incident: I went behind a cop who was shooting at a car for crashing into their car, attempted the stealthly throat slash, and no damage or animation took place on the cop. On the contrary, an old fashioned stabbing caused damage with no animated reaction, at least until he fell dead.

Yes that's what almost always happens. Hit a cop with a bullet and instantly get 2 stars if you had 0 or 1 before.

I think there must be some sort of points behind the stars that keeps track of your crimes. I'll call this "wanted points".

I can go from 0 to 2 stars without killing anybody. Just punch a cop a few times (not killing him), then find another cop and punch him a few times as well. Every time a cop is hurt it adds up "wanted points" and it's quick to get 2 stars without killing anyone.

Use a Chainsaw to kill many cops without getting 2 stars. The Chainsaw kills a cop in just two attacks, strangely it counts about as little as two punches towards the "wanted points".

The same day as I AK-ed two cops without getting 2 stars, I hung around the Mulholland safehouse and blew up cars. Several times while having 1 star, I threw a grenade at a police ranger without trigging the 2nd star. The police rangers had two cops in them.

 

When you say you've "gotten two stars just from jacking a HPV1000", do you mean you went from 0 to 2 stars just like that?

Yes, I guess it's 1 star for knocking the cop off the bike, and a 2nd star for taking the bike. It's rare but it happens.

I guess the cop was technically in an animation although it didn't seem like that.

A week ago I was driving with a homie, either CJ or the homie got wanted. A nearby cop opened a car door, but our car was hit by another car and the cop failed. The cop then froze in the middle of the road and didn't do anything. If I recall correctly, the cop also became immune and cars could drive through him. I drove my car back to the cop, and when the car were close enough he continued the animation he had started, and he either busted CJ or pulled out my homie (I can't remember which).

[rickyboy123]

finding a taxi stuck halfway through the road... seeing a random chick beat the .... out of a cop on the street, i mean literally she killed him for no reason with her bare hands as he was trying to run away, i want me a chick like that, more of a funny moment but still, theres too many wtf moments for me to recall

[OG Viking]

Drive-by date with Denise. She can't shoot from a Seasparrow, so I took care of that and earned 1 star in the process. I parked the chopper on Denise's roof, jumped down to the red marker and was immediately greeted by a cop and his Nightstick. Denise jumped down from the roof, and now we were CJ, Denise and the cop in the red marker. I didn't see the cop hitting Denise, but anyway she began to punch the cop. Soon the cut-scene started and CJ was invited in for coffee. But Denise started screaming and ran off and out of camera view. The cop disappeared also. Still CJ got his coffee and the date was successful.

I flew a chopper, had two stars and hovered above a bridge over a canyon next to the Mulholland safehouse. I saw two cop bikes below me on the bridge, and one dark or black object fell down off the bridge. I went down, and as I came close to the road down there, I saw a dead cop on the road. I did not use any weapon and I did not fly near anything. Then suddenly I get the third star!

[ainsz]

Left the game playing for a while and came back to see these two in a RPG showdown.

 

[khsh97]

Today I was driving from verona beech safe house to the airport and in first tunnel i saw an "Yoshmete" car fly in air and disappear from the road, WTF!

[B Dawg]

I was hanging around with a homie around Idlewood blasting on ballas. After getting 1 wanted level star, a police helicopter showed up and my homie started running away, CJ kept yelling Ey homie keep up! Get over here! Even pressed G multiple times but with no luck, and the police helicopter flied above my homie following him until he ran far enough for me to lose his green blip off my radar. I was like wtf? Homies get scared by police helicopters. There's so many details to this game.

[ten-a-penny]

This just happened minutes ago.

So I was in Prickle pine Safehouse, exited and spawned a PC-modded Hunter. I forgot to enter the No Wanted and Ghost town cheat (so this rubbish laptop can run the game peacefully) I kept spamming the hunter minigun so the peds will stay away. Since I forgot to turn on any cheat, I earned a 1-star. I tried taking off ASAP but the cop got me. When I took off he was hanging on the hunter doors to bust me up. I even made a backward half-loop but nothing. BUSTED!!! screen In midair 

[Big Smоke]

i had one wtf moment: one way i crashed into one moron with jeep he opened the door and came 2 fight with me i used the pump action shotgun. with one shoot i blowed off the brain of that moron and with the same shoot i made the jeep to explode cuz i shooted in the fuel cap. By the way in the real life if you shoot car in the fuel cap it will not explode. It will explode only if u shoot with bazooka or somethink what makes fire when hit the target

[BornToPlayGTA]

My WTF moment is the one when a FRIENDLY gang member tried to shoot me. NEVER EXPECTED SUCH HOSTILITY AND BETRAYAL. Gang members are quite a few times completely useless.

[OG Viking]

Have you had incredibly bad timing with incredibly bad luck? Spent a long time doing things in the game only to have your great efforts wasted by rare or weird incidents? Tell about it here.

I'll start...

My objective was
Move a FP/EP Raindance from LS Impound to SF Impound.

Method
During "High Stakes, Low-Rider", use a Towtruck and tow the helicopter from LS Impound to SF Impound. (The mission removes 90% of traffic and greatly reduces random car spawns that can mess up things in the SF Impound garage. Many random car spawns there on the PS2 version.)
Now before you ask why not fly it there, I chose towing because it saves in-game time. A Raindance is a big slow chopper, and while it can perhaps beat a Towtruck from city to city when flying in a straight line, it saves much time to have a Towtruck available for moving it around inside the impounds.

Why it took me hours upon hours, day after day
1. It's not easy to jump over at Flint Intersection towing a big heavy helicopter. The truck is powerful/fast enough, but at high speed on a bended road this "train" is anything but stable. To keep the vehicles straight and to aim for the small spot on the other side at the same time is difficult. Often both vehicles end up in the water, or one of them.
2. The BIG problem however, was that my Hydra and Rustler that was already stored in the SF Impound wouldn't spawn in spite of four lowriders in the race being destroyed. The impound garage vehicles must spawn before I leave the impound or they may be lost.
3. A number of other random fails, such as running over people (it's not "legitimate" kills), some content in the Los Santos impound failing to spawn, the Raindance blowing up when I use it to open the entrance gate to the SF Impound lots, using too much in-game time, etc etc.

Success!
The airplanes in the SF Impound did spawn, and I got the Raindance stored there. I head back to LS no problems, using a NRG and jumping over at Flint, using Pay 'N' Spray at Santa Maria.

What?!
Before I save, I always want to prepare for the next I'm going to do, and in this case it meant moving a car from SM Beach to El Corona. It's a very low-risk operation, about as safe as it can get.
I drive the NRG across the highway near LS International, CJ get knocked off the bike. Then CJ get hit by a car while on foot, a saloon or coupe, I'm not sure. But I got the car color and it was red.
The red car stopped on top of CJ, and another vehicle in front of it caused it to not move any further. CJ's health and armor was full so it took a long time to lose all hope, it felt like a very long time.

I guess I should be pissed but I'm not. I think I still don't get it.
It is extremely rare that CJ get trapped under a vehicle, it basically never happens, even on the highways. The odds for this chain of events to NOT happen is staggering. And it had to happen NOW?




I can also mention that on three occasions Hydra missiles wrecked my Towtruck. One time the missile was launched when I entered the Towtruck, a second time it just came as I was driving the Towtruck and came out of the long tunnel under the farm in Flint County, and a third time it came when I was busy buying Sprunk at Cranberry Station. I didn't hear or see the Hydra in any of the three instances, but there must have been one trigger-happy SOB up in the sky somewhere. The Raindance was hooked up with the Towtruck but it was the Towtruck that took direct hits.
I'm still working on this.

In my current Save I finished a few months ago, when I was obtaining the AP Boxville I drove it back to the Garage after knocking it away from the cutscene with the Fire Truck.  Upon getting to my Garage, I made a fire so I could catch CJ on fire, get into the Boxville, blow it up and myself.  As I got into the Boxville, a cop pulled me out.  Busted.

 

Second try, after I reloaded, I again got the Boxville and on the way back to the Garage, game froze.

 

I got it on the next try, though.  But what an ordeal.  Probably not as bad as your ordeal, but it was quite annoying...

On my last bike on Cop Wheels (you have to steal four police bikes in a certain amt of time) with a 2 star wanted level. I'm making my getaway when I T-Bone a cop car that's come out of a road just ahead of me and stopped in the middle of the road. I fly off the bike and land... right in front of a cop. Busted.

[Kostadinoff]

I was doing the mission in LS with the dancing cars. (I forgot the name of the mission, sorry) So, I tuned my car and on my way to the LS Train Station, I hit a police car. So I get wanted level. You know that in this mission when u get close to LST Station the radio stops and the traffic is cut. So right before I hit that point an angry driver hit me and flipped my car. My car just exploded...

You'd think if you want to acquire or spend money quickly, the million $ blackjack table is your best bet, right? Apparently, not for me. I wanted to increase my money this way only to lose millions upon millions more than I won. On the flip side, the time I wanted debt to accumulate, I kept winning millions upon millions more than I lost. When I tried to win, I usually lost; when I tried to lose, I usually won. Such fascinating luck, huh? The funny thing: I have all horseshoes.
