What is that in her nose?

Back home, the Yugo was a Fiat of some sort.
I rolled one into a bog with some friends...

Cool Yugo too...

Why does a Yugo have a heated rear window?

Keeps your hands warm while you push!

Ar Ar Ar.

Um, no, that's an accessory for the Hitachi "Magic Wand" personal massager, and it's not designed for that orifice.

Let's just say that in my many years of internet usage, the RX-8 forum hasn't always been my main source of online entertainment.

A friend of mine once bought a early Pony - not as classy as the Yugo - but he once described it's 'performance' as

"The next best thing to walking"

Yeah I owned one dammit, what's it to ya!

Well I "owned" one back in '87. Worst piece of crap in the world. It had valve float at 44 mph and the dealer would not fix it under warranty stating it was an adjustment! Well I bought it because that is what the wifey wanted. Although she didn't drive!

That was the last and only time I took the wife car hunting!

It wound up in the shop 8 months out of the 12 that I owned it because it was waiting on parts that never came. I wound up letting the company take it back because it was deemed unrepairable as they could not get parts from Yugoslavia!

It is mechanicly related to a Fiat 128 I think.

I think my fondest memory of the Yugo was the plethora of them in "Drowning Mona." The producers must've rounded up every working example in the country for that shoot.
