Good use for old Yugos

Post by wa2crk »

This just struck me as funny. If any of you have an old Yugo laying around here is a good use for it. You might even be able to make a few bucks!!

I had an aquaintance once who owned a Yugo. The water pump went out on it and I helped them replace it. I've never in my life seen something designed SO POORLY! That was my one and ONLY time working on a Yugo. :mad:

If i recall correctly the Yugo had a rear windown defroster as standard equipment so your hands would not get cold while pushing it. :D

TTLFSF!

SHMBO had her heart set on one but they became 'unavailable before she bought one. Got a Festiva instead. Kept it until it was made 1' shorted on both front and rear ends and state farm bought it. Liked it so much I got one(full size) and still have it. Putting 4' wide stuff in it is easy and 8' long boards fit inside(pass seat folded full down).
