I was cruising around my home street. Stole a car and the passenger was stupid enough to stay in the car. So I had some fun and drove like an ass hole. Then, he surprised the crap out of me by kicking ME out of the car when I slowed down a little and wanted to fight. I kicked his ass and took some of his money.

I then got back in my somewhat damaged car and started heading for my next mission when I saw some black smoke coming from the hood. I was at an intersection with a few cars so I decided to continually crash into the car in front me until my car caught on fire. Another unexpected thing happened while doing this. My car died. It took a few tried to get it started again. When I finally caught on fire, I got out, got a safe distance away and waited. It takes longer for a car to explode now. When it did, though, it looks amazing. In old GTA games, when 1 car blew up next to other cars, they would all explode pretty quickly but I was able to sit back and watch the chaos of people running from their burning vehicles and rolling around on the ground trying to put out the flames on their person.
