This wheelchair in GTA San Andreas is actually stolen from another Rockstar game — and its wheels say 'SKIP HIRE'

The Rusty Wheelchair at Fisher's Lagoon is a direct model port from Manhunt, another Rockstar game, but developers lazily reused a dumpster texture for its wheels. The 'SKIP HIRE' text and stenciled numbers are actually meant for British portable trash dumpsters found around the map. Even weirder, the front wheels display '3:30 PM' and '2:30 PM' lifted from a traffic light texture — leading myth hunters to obsess over a 'mystical time' that was never intended.
