I read the article that the last Yugo has rolled off the line yesterday and the new owner Fiat will use the facility to create the new Fiat Punto (I thought that was a swear word in Spanish?).

_ What do you call a Yugo's shock absorbers? Passengers.
_ The new Yugo has an air bag. Before an accident, start pumping real fast.
_ How do you double the value of a Yugo? Fill the gas tank!
_ What do you call a Yugo at the top of a hill? A miracle.
_ Man to car dealer: "I'd like a gas cap for my Yugo." Dealer: "Sounds like a fair trade."
One thing I found was that Yugo never had any recalls!!!!Interesting....

Re: Yugo says goodbye, Yugo jokes!!!

A little boy is leaving school at the end of the day. As he strolls along the sidewalk, a car pulls up to the curb, and a man winds down the window. "Hey, kid, I've got candy in my car. Hop in and I'll give it to you," he says. "No. I'm not going to." The boy walks on. Further down the road, the car pulls over again. " Hey there kid, if you get in my car, I'll give you all this candy, and a big bottle of cola. How about it?" "No way! Now leave me alone!" The boy walks on, quickening his pace. The car again pulls over beside him. "Look, kid, I've got a puppy at home you'd love to see. Get in and I'll take you there. You can have all the candy and the cola on the way. What do you say to that?" The boy is getting agitated. He stops walking, and leans down to the car window. "Look, I don't care what you promise me, Dad. I'm NOT riding in your Yugo!"

LOL A Yugo was the first 'brand new' car my poor divorced mom ever purchased. She was very proud of her new car. It made many a trip to college and back for me and never a single break down in all the years she had it. She also learned to drive the standard transmission in it and was very proud of that as well. One thing I thought was unique is the drop in under the dash complete a/c unit. It bolted right under the dash and you hooked up a power wire. No connections to the motor at all.

... well that just stinks! is Fiat deliberately trying to put themselves out of business?

... i thought Yugo's had stopped being produced when Keebler started making cookies instead.

my 2 cents :)

Where did they get the name Yugo? You Go the car stays where it is!

Why do (did) Yugos have rear window defrosters? To keep your hands warm while pushing them!

A friend of mine had one that got stolen. When he called it in to the police, the dispatcher laughed and said, "You're kidding, right?"
