    There are certain products that I will never, ever, under any circumstances own.
    A Yugo is one of them.

    Funny. I graduated Navy A-school in San Diego in 1986, and ALMOST bought one of these to drive back to northeast Tennessee in, just to see the country. Seems like that were around $4k new at that point. Really glad I didn't, but it was a thought.

    Side note joke: Did you hear that Yugo was going to make a wagon? They were going to call it the "We-go". :rofl2:

    This reminds me of a friend of mine Who claimed to fame was he could grab the rear bumper of his mom‘s Escort and lift the wheels off the ground. One day we stopped at the Dodge dealer that sold Yugos on the side he wanted to see if he could lift a Yugo, the bumper bent before the wheels came off the ground

    I heard a different story about another Yugo version they were going to sell. This one had like 300 horsepower out of the little 4-cylinder. It was to be called the Yugo To Hell.

    Not a bad deal for the seller.
