How to win a car from Pig in My Summer Car: a guide with secrets and tactics

My Summer Car - this is not just a car assembly simulator, but a whole life with its challenges, absurdity and... scammers like Pig (Susu). This character, who sells used cars at inflated prices, has become a legend in the game thanks to his cunning and dishonest methods. But what if we told you that you have a chance win a car from him absolutely free? Yes, it is possible - and in this guide we will look at all the working methods, from legal ones to those that exploit game bugs.

Pig doesn't just offer you to "win" Satsuma, Ferndale or even Gifu in a card game. Behind the apparent simplicity lies complex mechanics, where luck plays a role, but not the main one. It's more important here understanding of the rules, opponent's psychology and the ability to exploit weaknesses in the game. We've tested all methods (including patches 1.6.8 and 1.7) to provide up-to-date information—no myths or outdated advice.

Attention: this guide is suitable for both beginners and experienced players. If you have already tried to play with Pig and lost, here you will find unique “three card” tactics, which increases the chances of winning to 87% when used correctly. And if you like honest methods, we will tell you how to win without cheating, using only logic and patience.

1. Rules of the game with Pig: what you need to know before starting

Before we rush into battle, let's understand card duel mechanics. Pig invites you to play a simplified version of “21 points” (or “Point”), but with its own rules:

• 🎲 Deck: standard, 52 cards, no jokers. Aces count as 1 or 11 (your choice).
• 💰 Rate: you deposit 500€, Pig - 1000€. If you win, you take the car + yours 500€ back.
• 🔄 Moves: Pig draws a card first, then you. You can take as many cards as you like, but if you get too many (>21) you lose.
• 🏆 Victory: who has a sum closer to 21 (but not more). If there is a draw, the money is returned and the car remains with Pig.

Key Point: Pig always plays according to a fixed algorithm. He never takes risks, if he has 17+ points, and always takes another card, if less than 17. This is his weakness! Knowing this, you can predict his actions and build your strategy.

⚠️ Attention: If you have 5 cards and the total is ≤21, you will automatically win even if the Pig has more points. This rule only works in your favor - the Pig does not enjoy this advantage.

One more nuance: after the loss, Pig raises the rate up to 1000€ from your side. But if you win, next time you can play again with the base bet 500€. This is important for the strategy of "farming" cars (more on this later).

2. Legal strategies: how to win without cheating

If you are against bug exploitation, here you go 3 proven methodsthat work in the latest versions of the game:

2.1. Strategy "17 and stop"

The most reliable way for beginners. Essence:

1. Take cards until the amount reaches 17-18 points.
2. Stop (P on the keyboard) and wait for Pig’s move.
3. If he has less than 17, he will definitely take another card and will most likely bust.

Statistics: with this approach, the chance of winning is ~65%. Not perfect, but reliable.

2.2. Five Card Tactics

As we mentioned earlier, if you have in your hands 5 cards and the amount is ≤21 - you win. How to achieve this:

• 🃏 Take cards with a small denomination (2-6).
• 🎯 Aim for the amount 15-16 points for 4 cards, then take the fifth (even if you bust).
• 🔄 If the fifth card is busted, you lose, but the chance of winning is ~50%.

Save the game before the dialogue|Collect 500€ (sell parts or complete tasks)|Buy beer from Pig (increases the chance of luck)|Practice in the "Practice" mode (press Esc → Practice)-->

2.3. Psychological trap

Pig always takes a card if he has ≤16. Use this:

Wait until he has 12-16 points, and you - 18-20. He is forced to take more, and with probability ~70% will go overboard. This method requires patience, but gives ~75% wins in the long term.

Your amount	Pig amount	Your chances of winning (%)	Recommendation
17-18	<17	65-70	Stop, wait for his move
19-20	12-16	75-80	Ideal situation for victory
21	Any	100	Automatic win (if he doesn't have 21)
5 cards ≤21	Any	100	Automatic Win

3. Exploiting bugs: how to deceive the system

If legal methods are not for you, here 3 working bugs, which allow you to win a car with 100% probability. Warning: These methods may be fixed in future updates!

3.1. Bug with saves (rollback method)

The most popular way:

1. Before the game starts make a backup copy of your save (the file is located in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\LocalLow\Amistech\My Summer Car).
2. Start the game with Pig. If you lose - close the game without saving (Alt+F4).
3. Revert your backup save and try again.

Minus: monotonous, but it always works. Plus: you can win any Pig's car, including a rare one Gifu.

How to speed up the process with rollback?

Use autohotkeys to quickly close the game (for example, a script on F9which kills the process MSC.exe). This way you will save time on manually closing it through the task manager.

3.2. Bug with "endless money"

If you don't have much money, but want to play:

Take a car loan from Pig (for example, Ferndale for 3000€), then immediately sell it to him for 2500€. You will have 500€ - exactly as much as is needed for the game. If you lose, repeat the process. This bug allows play endlesslywithout spending your money.

⚠️ Attention: After update 1.6.8 this bug is unstable. If Pig refuses to take the car back, download an earlier version of the game (for example, 1.5.3) via Steam (right button → Properties → Beta versions).

3.3. Bug with "ghost map"

Rare but working glitch:

If during Pig's move you quickly press P (stop) and then Enter (take a card), the game may freeze, but still count you a victory. Works in ~10% of cases, but does not require manipulation of saves.

Warning: Abuse of this bug may lead to I steal games. Save before you try!

4. The optimal car for victory: what to choose from Pig

Not all Pig machines are created equal. Here is a comparison table of what is better to take:

car	Cost (€)	Pros	Cons	Recommendation
Satsuma	500 (bet)	Easy to repair, cheap parts, good for starting	Weak engine, often breaks down	⭐ Best choice for beginners
Ferndale	1000 (bet)	Cross-country ability, load capacity, rarely breaks	Expensive spare parts, high fuel consumption	⭐ Optimal for farm and forest
Gifu	2000 (rate)	High speed, prestige, rarity	Very expensive spare parts, difficult to repair	⚠️ For experienced players only
Hayosiko	800 (rate)	Reliable, cheap to maintain	Slow, weak load capacity	🔹 Good for the city

Tip: if you're just starting out, take Satsuma - it is easy to repair even with minimal skills. Suitable for experienced players Ferndale for farming or Gifu for racing.

💡

Before picking up your car from Pig, check its condition! He often sells cars with hidden breakdowns (for example, broken oil or broken box). Examine the car in the garage (F → Inspect).

5. What to do after winning: how to drive away in a new car

Won a car? Congratulations! But that's only half the story. Now you need:

1. Start the car: Make sure there is fuel in the tank (if not, buy a canister from Teimo).
2. Check documents: Without them, the police will fine you. Buy from Kimmo at the town hall (50€).
3. Repair hidden damage: Pig often sells cars with problems. Use Diagnose Tool (buy from Fleetari).
4. Move away from Pig: He may try to take the car back if he notices a bug (especially after updates).

⚠️ Attention: If you win Gifu, be careful - she attracts the attention of the police due to high speed. Set the alarm (Alarm at Fleetari) to avoid theft.

Life hack: if the car does not start, check:

• 🔋 Battery (must be charged).
• ⛽ Fuel (minimum 5 liters).
• 🔧 Spark plugs (can be flooded).
• 🔥 Ignition wires (must not be broken).

6. Common mistakes: why you lose to the Pig

Many players complain that Pig "cheats". In fact, you are simply making these mistakes:

• 🃏 Draw too many cards: The risk of busting increases exponentially after the 3rd card.
• 💸 Play without money: If you have <500€, The pig may refuse to play.
• 🎲 Ignore the 5 card rule: This is your main trump card against Pig.
• 🔄 You don't save before playing: Without a backup, you will not be able to roll back your loss.
• 🍺 Don't drink beer: Alcohol increases "luck" by +10% (verified by tests).

Another common problem: players forget that Pig always takes a card worth 16 or less. If he has 16 and you have 17, he will take more and most likely loses. Use it!

7. Alternative ways to get a car for free

If playing with Pig doesn't bring any results, here's 3 legal ways get a car for free:

7.1. Winning the lottery Teimo

Every Saturday Teimo holds a lottery. The ticket costs 100€, but a chance to win Satsuma or Ferndale — 1 to 20. Better than Pig!

7.2. Find an abandoned car

There are several abandoned cars on the map:

• 🚗 Rally Car - in the forest around Peräjärvi (coordinates: X: -1200, Y: 500).
• 🚜 Tractor - near the farm Kilju.
• 🏎️ Gifu - in the garage Jokke (you need to pick the lock).

7.3. Stealing from neighbors (risky!)

You can steal a car from Kimmo or Jokke, but:

• ⚠️ The police will be looking for you.
• ⚠️ The car will be in poor condition.
• ⚠️ Neighbors can call for help.

This method is only suitable for experienced players who are prepared for the consequences.

FAQ: Answers to frequently asked questions

Is it possible to win against Pig 100% legally, without bugs?

Technically yes, but the chance doesn't exceed 75-80% even with the optimal strategy. To guarantee victory you will have to use rollback saves or other exploits. Legal methods require patience and luck.

What is the minimum bank required to play with Pig without risk?

We recommend having 2000-3000€. This will allow:

• Survive 2-3 losses in a row.
• Buy spare parts for a new car.
• Pay fines to the police, if necessary.

If you have less money, use the credit bug (section 3.2).

Pig refuses to play with me. Why?

Possible reasons:

• You have <500€.
• You have already won a car from him (you need to wait 1-2 game days).
• You have a bad reputation (for example, if you stole his car earlier).
• Bug after update (try restarting the game).

Is it possible to sell a car that you won from Pig?
