Rust in Pieces, Yugo

The last Yugo, the car that became the joke of a generation, is about to roll of the assembly line. If you are like me, you are probably finding yourself amazed that they still make those things.

And you think Detroit has problems, look at the Yugo!

  1. I had no idea they were still being produced. They where good on gas but that was about it!!!

  2. Oh my I had a friend with Yugo, he absolutely loved the thing for about 3 months.. after that it completely died for no apparent reason. I personally found the thing very uncomfortable and very loud. I am completely shocked that they are still being made, which leads me to the question of Why are they still made?

  3. When I ran an auto repair shop in the 80's, my top tech refused to work on Yugos and VW beetles. He would tell customers that our lifts couldn't accomodate them (a lie). "You go somewhere else," he would say.

  4. I thought this is how it got its name. "I'm not going in the rattle trap.... YOU-GO!"
