How to unlock the Wheels of Steel achievement in Roundabout - Definitive Guide
This achievement is not that bad so long as you use the shrinking ability. The only section you can't use it is the mission where you take the pills as you are required to swap out for the boat.
Just take your time and if you take a couple hits locate the nearest garage to repair. Also worth noting that you will be fully repaired at the end of each ride.
The hardest part is the very end when you are forced to drive straight. Remember that up will always drive forward and for some reason left steers right and right steers left (from the cars point of view). However you CAN use your upgrade so I would recommend the shrinking one again and use it when you reach the 2 cops so that you are a smaller target. It's not a huge help but can be the difference between your achievement and having to restart.
Achievement unlocks at the start of the credits.

Left steers right and right steers left depending on which way you were rotating at that point. I had a power that lets you switch directions and it put the controls back to a normal "left is left and right is right."

This is by far the hardest achievement - it's the only thing I have left. I already did it once but it didn't unlock, and I just can not do it again. I am behind frustrated with this game

With an unlimited amount of time, this SEEMS like a pretty easy achievement to get. And frankly, it mostly is. But mostly is not "completely".
There are two parts of this game which are going to make you miserable.
The first is the mall. You can do this slowly with the limo shrinker and you can probably get through it without any deaths. I'd recommend practicing it a few times and make sure you can do so before you do it "for realsies", because this is a miserable, miserable section and is several minutes into the game.
The worst part, however, is the endgame. Yes, that's right - that final section at the end of the game where you have to drive straight? Yeah, that is going to get you killed a lot. So you'll want to practice that to the point where you can consistently get to the end there without blowing up every single time.
The third part you might want to be wary of is the airport; there's some nastiness there, and it is easy to get yourself killed if you aren't careful.
If you have problems with any other areas, I'd recommend practicing them extensively before doing this achievement.
Note that you must get this achievement to get the 100% achievement (What A Fool Believes).
Each run at this achievement takes roughly half an hour if you screw up in the final part. So... don't do that.
