Jalopy – It’s a Classic Achievement Guide

This guide will show you how to easily unlock and get the Jalopy achievement called “It’s a Classic”. To earn this achievement, you need to make your car’s odometer reach 999,999 kilometers, which is almost like hitting 1 million kilometers. Now, I’ll explain the simplest and quickest method to accomplish this feat.

Requirements

To get that achievement, you’ll need specific parts for your Laika:

1. Fuel Tank: Strout Krone Kong Fuel Tank (important because it can hold 33 liters of fuel).
2. Engine: Krone Kong Squash Engine (best choice for quick acceleration and high speed).
3. Air Filter: Krone Kong Oval Air Filter.
4. Carburettor: Krone Kong Tube Carburettor.
5. Battery: Any battery will do.
6. Ignition Coil: Triple Barrel Krone Kong Ignition Coil.
7. Water Tank: Oasis Water Tank.

It’s also a good idea to have a level 2 or 3 tool rack so you can repair your car if needed. Don’t forget to bring four extra tires and a fuel can with you, as tires can break during the free fall, and you might run out of gas. This will help you prepare for any unexpected issues along the way.

Taking Advantage of the Bug

To perform the bug correctly, follow these steps:

1. Go to any city (not the starting garage) and open the route book.
2. Choose a route, but as soon as you select it, close the book using the [esc] key.
3. If done correctly, you should be able to cross the border, but the map won’t be fully loaded.
4. Drive a few kilometers through a tunnel or a bridge until you see a white void where you can drive.
5. Drive into the void and you will start falling with high speed. Press the W key continuously while falling.

You can watch a demonstration of this process in the video. Just keep in mind that since your odometer is already at its maximum, you won’t see the kilometers increasing.

You might be wondering how long this takes. Here are some measurements I made:

1. In 13 minutes, you can gain about 220,000 kilometers.
2. After 17 minutes, you can reach around 340,000 kilometers, and your fuel tank will be close to empty by this time.

It’s important to note that you’ll be accelerating throughout the entire 17 minutes, which means that the kilometer gain increases exponentially. However, keep in mind that these times worked for me, but I can’t guarantee that they will be the same for everyone. Your results might vary.

Common Mistakes

Here are some common mistakes to avoid during this process:

• Falling too fast can prevent you from achieving the goal. Be mindful of your speed during the fall.
• Don’t forget to purchase new tires and refill the fuel can before attempting the bug.
• Keep a close eye on your finances to ensure you don’t go bankrupt during the endeavor.

Please keep in mind that this bug worked for me, but I can’t guarantee that it will work for everyone. Individual experiences may vary, so proceed with caution and be prepared for different outcomes.

Reward

Upon completion, you will be able to receive the achievement:
