About

Set during the fall of the Eastern Bloc,travel through each of the socialist fraternal states while maintaining a spluttering 2-stroke car. Jalopy looks to replicate the wild yet philosophical voice of the road found in the great literary experiences such as Robert M. Pirsig's Zen & the Art of Motorcycle.
