Lol yea that area in the game is basically inspired by Fordham road from the video
i loved driving around in GTA IV and checking out spots i had been to irl.
whenever i drove through grand army plaza i remembered the time a
russian chick on a bike wearing headphones cut across 3 lanes in the
traffic circle and faceplanted into my driver's side window.
i have really good peripheral vision so i saw her incoming at the last sec.
then i saw her face flattened against my driver's side window and heard her
exclaim "Ugh!" as she quickly faded out of site.
i hit the breaks, looked back and saw her laying on the hard concrete.
backed up and put my car between her and oncoming traffic. this is what
saved my ass though...there were pedestrians who saw the whole thing
and came right up to us as soon as i got out of my car to check on the
chick that just kamikazed my ride.
she was faded.
i asked if she was ok and she just hit me with a "afjiowetghjahas;".
then a handful of people came by and were like "yo, she was bugging,
i saw the whole thing."
eventually cops and EMS show up and everyone give their story.
everyone agrees that i was not in the wrong and the cops tell me
to keep it moving.
