Yugo
Few weeks ago i saw on the internet that in U.S YUGO is sold for about 2000$. Are you Americans crazy, YUGO is the worst car in the world. In Serbia you can buy YUGO for less than 100$!!!! But nobody wants to buy it. I would rather walk than drive YUGO. Tell me what do you think about this.

Found some YUGO jokes!

A Yugo pulls up at a stoplight next to a Rolls- Royce. The driver of the Yugo rolls down his window and shouts to the driver of the Rolls, "Hey, buddy, that's a nice car. You got a phone in your Rolls? I've got one in my Yugo!" The driver of Rolls looks over and says simply, "Yes I have a phone." The driver of the Yugo says, "Cool! Hey, you got a fridge in there, too? I've got a fridge in the back seat of my Yugo!" The driver of the Rolls, looking annoyed, says, "Yes, I have a refrigerator." The driver of the Yugo says, "That's great, man! Hey, you got a TV in there, too? You know, I got a TV in the back seat of my Yugo!" The driver of the Rolls, very annoyed by now, says, "Of course I have a television. A Rolls-Royce is the finest luxury car in the world!" The driver of the Yugo says, "Very cool car! Hey, you got a bed in there, too? I got a bed in the back of my Yugo!" Upset that he did not have a bed, the driver of the Rolls-Royce sped away, and went straight to the dealer, where he promptly ordered that a bed be installed in the back of the Rolls. The next morning, the driver of the Rolls picked up the car, and the bed looked superb, with satin sheets and brass trim. It was clearly a bed fit for a Rolls Royce. So the driver of the Rolls begins searching for the Yugo, and he drove all day. Finally, late at night, he finds the Yugo parked, with all the windows fogged up from the inside. The driver of the Rolls got out and knocked on the door of the Yugo. When there wasn't any answer, he knocked and knocked, and eventually the owner stuck his head out, soaking wet. "I now have a bed in the back of my Rolls-Royce," the driver of the Rolls stated proudly. The Yugo owner looked at him and said, "You got me out of the shower to tell me THAT?!?!"

Q. What did the parts dealer say when the customer said, "I'll take a set of wiper blades for my Yugo"?
A. "Sounds like a fair trade to me."

"The Oakland Police captured two men in their Yugo last night.
The men are being held as suspects in the city's first push-by shooting."

back in the day (1985 or so) a friend of mine decided to purchase a yugo. His motive? He could own a brand-spankin' new car. Well, we drove from Colorado Springs to Tempe, AZ in that car, and it was quite the journey. We are both about 6'4"-6", and it made for some cramped times. The dang thing even had a plastic gas tank that sat pretty much behind the back 'seat'. Plus it had a carbon monoxide leak into the cabin, which meant that we slept most of hte itme on the road, and in one memorable instance, I woke up prior to him waking up. The kicker was that he was driving at the time.

Bottom line? It was two of the funnest weeks of my life. My only gripe was that he traded in a Porsche 914 for it......as for their being 'pieces of garbage', well, it got both of us there and back (well over a 1000 miles) and did so relatively safely. So no real complaints. And it certainly beat walking there and back.

Everyone used to slag off the Skoda - despite the Super-Estelle regularly winning rallies (which was never played up - erm - curiously). Not sure people do that much anymore. Not sure it was hugely justified anyway. Czech engineering was/is some of the finest in europe so the Skoda was the result of automotive technology at a budget. Give 'em the sort of cash GM, Ford, BMW, Rover etc had during those times and it'd be interesting to see what they might have produced.

How do you double the value of your Yugo ?


Leave 10 bucks in the glove box.



------------

Why do Yugos have heated rear windows ?


To keep your hands warm while pushing them.


-------------


What do you call a Yugo with a sunroof ?


A dumpster.

It's funny but in terms of aesthetics the most impossible looking vehicle ever mass produced has got to be the 2cv. Designed to be maintained with a set of meccanno tools it had to be the strangest looking thing on the roads. You don't hear many derogatory comments about it though - probably because despite all those peculiar angles and an engine that'd power a strimmer you get a thoroughly brilliant bit of engineering just as good off-road as on but without all the weight/petrol consumption of the currently fashionable 4x4.

This reminds me of a great parody joke about two liberals who are driving their Yugo and they swerve to avoid a deer and get run over by some huge truck! Its parodied to Elvis Presley's "Ghetto" song! I think of bassetman and Rep everytime I hear it!

So a deer is driving along in a huge truck and swerves to avoid bassetman and rep in their Yugo, who are on their way to an Elvis concert, but gets run over by a Ghetto?????Mmmm?!??hmm Meanwhile, a red-neck 4x4 pulls into a car repair shop and asks for 16 spare wheels. LOL!
