Introduction
This guide is covering the topic on how to get the "It's a classic" achievement in Jalopy. For this achievement you have to max out your odometer to 999.999 kilometers (about 1 million).
I will show you how to get this achievement in the easiest and fastest way.
What you will need for the achievement
To get the achievement I used the following parts in my Laika:

Fuel Tank: Strout Krone Kong Fuel Tank (needed because of the 33 litre capacity)

Engine: Krone Kong Squash Engine (recommendet because of fast acceleration and high speed)

Air Filter: Krone Kong Oval Air Filter

Carburettor: Krone Kong Tube Carburettor

Battery: All batterys are the same

Ignition Coil: Triple Barrel Krone Kong Ignition Coil

Water Tank: Oasis Water Tank

I recommend having the level 2 or 3 tool rack aswell so you can fix your car after you did the bug. Also take 4 extra tires and a fuel can with you because the tires will break during the free fall and you will eventually run out of gas.

How to do the bug correctly
To do the bug correctly you just have to go to any city you want (it has to be a city not the starting garage) and open the route book. Choose any route you want but in the same moment you select it close the book with [esc]. This is already the entire bug, if done correctly you should be able to pass the border but the map isn't fully loaded. You have to drive a few kilometers through a tunnel or a bridge but then you should see a white void in which you can drive.
After driving into the void you fall with high speed and gain kilometers but you have to press the [W] key for the entire time you are falling! (Just put something on top of the key)
In the following video you can see how it's done:

How long does it take?
I measured the following times:

5 minutes: 28.600km

10 minutes: 113.100km

15 minutes: 254.600km

19 minutes and 45 seconds: 439.500km (fuel tank should be empty around this time)

You are accelerating over the entire 19 minutes, this means that the kilometer gain is growing exponentially.
Remember that these times worked for me but I can't assure that they will work for you aswell!
Common mistakes
1. If you are falling too fast you don't get the achievement (this has happend to me twice)

2. Remember to buy new tires and refill the fuel can

3. Watch your money so you don't go bankrupt

This bug worked for me and I can't assure it will work for everyone!

Thanks to Meb på Ikea for confirming my theory.

@Kirito First of all thanks for confirming, that the bug is still working. I also had to try multiple times because sometimes the odometer didn't increase, was reset to zero or even hit the 999.999 but the achievement didn't pop. It really is frustrating, especially when you already tried 3 times but as far as I know the game doesn't get any updates anymore so it should still work. Maybe take a break for a week and try again later after some trial and error you should hopefully get it :)

Best of Luck and if you got any more questions feel free to message me or write another comment

It worked. Thank you so much for responding to my post and showing me your guide. Take a reward or two for your help <3

And I owe you a reward)

MrSchnicklands Thank you very much. When I was just driving on a regular road, my odometer didn't work, but it worked in the abyss. When I jumped into the abyss, I set the timer for 5 minutes, and then I went to the menu and everything was new.

@O6aBok that sounds like you found a way to fix the broken odometer consistently. I also check your profile and saw you got the achievement. Congratulations!
O6aBok 6 Jun @ 2:41pm 
my odometer broke down when I had 340,000, but when I choose a destination and go to another city, the odometer starts working again. I currently have 520000 on my odometer. And I want to check when I have 999950 to go to another city and check if they will give me an achievement.

@O6aBok If you are near the 999.999km then try resetting in shorter intervals, meaning just try to fall for only 2 minutes or so then the odometer shouldn't break. If it breaks on the early to mid process try resetting after like 10 minutes, then the entire process will take longer but it is also safer
Hope this helped if not you can message me again :)

and what should I do to keep the odometer from breaking?

It is worth it in the end--but I'm glad this one's done with! :joyface:

I got your tip to work using a different version of the game, but finally pushed it to 100%. Thanks again.
