FOR THOSE STRUGGLING TO GET BADGES -
1) For the first badge, you must upgrade 5 times. Not in a row, and not a single skill.
2) Just keep playing until you reach the 50mph. It took me 15 minutes, and I mainly upgraded Acceleration and Speed.
To recieve the badges, simply exit to the menu, go back into the game and die. Simple as that.
