Quote Do you remember YUGO?

I always make a point of this auto industry in Yugoslavia and the idea to make cars affordable to all even better than the way Henry Ford did.

The Yugo is a great moral to the story of US deceit and aggression.

AND - this is exactly why Yugoslavia began to pose a major threat to the US and its lackeys and the US's israeli masters.

Yugoslavia consisted of smart people that were a challenge to the west and more so, were a positive example of the Russian model.

So what did the US do?

Murder Slavs and destroy Yugoslavia and Serbia.

If they didn't Yugoslavia would be one giant productive and powerful nation nation. The US AND EU would be in awe.

I still think that the German industrial elites placed an order to mighty American gangster to kill a rival. Europeans really wanted to destroy the small but industrialized Balkan "ussr".

Q: Where are the ideological murderers of Yugoslavia Joschka Fischer (ex-German minister of Foreign Affairs, ex-lefist btw) and Madeleine Albright?

A: They work in the Board of Directors of the Siemens Corporation.

Yes, that is also part of the equation.

Greedy bastards are the same everywhere.

They're not happy with a good life, they want everything and the hell with the guy next to them.

The Balkans are also Europeans but I know what you mean. The industrialized Balkan USSR was a glowing example of the Russian model.

I always thought Romanians made good AK 47s as well.

The Balkan republics were VERY smart. I knew many that came to the US as well. Great math, too.

I know little of Fischer. I understand he was a supporter of attacking Serbia and giving Kosovo to terrorists, so his anti Russian elitism is probably true.

Albright was a major scum of the US State Department, Secretary of Scum..

A very real possibility.

A living Trifecta,ain't ya? Insane,drunk,AND on drugs at the same time.

The "Yugo" failed because it was a piece of communist shit that DIDN'T "go" unless somebody was pushing it. Designed by a committee of comrades who knew more about how to run a backwards police state than they did about designing and producing cars,and assembled by a crew of union communist lackeys where only the inexperienced factory workers did any work,and the experienced workers came to work to get drunk and play cards because of their seniority. Not that any of them actually knew or cared anything about assembling a product anyone would buy who had a choice.

The most popular feature on the Yugo was the heated back window because owners could keep their hands warm while pushing their Yugo off the road during cold weather thanks to that feature. It was also the only thing about the car the owners did like. Yugo's made British and Italian cars seem to be hand assembled by master craftsmen by comparison.

Yugo was supposed to have been a success when they first came here,and several magazines sent reporters there to write stories on the historic cooperation between the former communist slaves in Yugoslavia and the west,and everyone of them was shocked at what they saw,with senior workers refusing to work because getting drunk was more important to them,and a whole factory full of workers used to the idea they had no competition so people had no choice but to buy the shit they produced,so they didn't give a damn if they ran or not when pushed out the factory door.

BTW,comrade,Communism is dead. It was in all the papers.

Many don't know this but a larger version was also produced, it was called the Wego.

Anybody still promoting communism in this day and age NEEDS to be insulted,but is probably too stupid to understand they are BEING insulted. It's like trying to insult a tree or a brick.

Yugo's were not a threat to BMW/Mercedes/et al, they were a joke. I don't even think there was a coat of primer under the paint. I dare anybody to find one happy owner.

It was actually a FIAT 127 clone licensed to Zastava Automobiles in Kragujevac Serbia (then part of Yugoslavia). I can't speak for the workmanship, but any design or engineering flaws are purely Italian in origin.

Door handles falling off sounds like an assembly issue. No wonder FIAT bought Chrysler, a mariage made in heaven. Or Detroit, whichever.

Yugo - undriveable by a six-foot human.

The only car I ever drove that was worse was a Pinto I rented once. Useless under steer. Steering column like a broomstick in a bucket of muck. Rode in a Trabant once. Commies cars - oh, my God.

Commie guns on the other hand . . .

Are you really tall? I drove a Pinto once (I'm 5'11), I actually liked the low seating. I didn't put it through it's paces through the slalom, just drove it across town helping a friend.

Pintos had no paces; they just plodded, at best.

Four Yugos at four way stop creates local traffic Jam as drivers direct others to proceed. Our reporter caught dialogue from these tense moments:

"You go"

"No, go ahead"

"Someone go"

"Ok, you go"

before wandering off to Turin to become a bricklayer

Yeah, but they were still better than Vegas, which tended to self destruct within a year of purchase. The OHC 2300 lived on into the 80's as the SVO/T-Bird Turbo motor.

American economy cars back then were an unmitigated disaster from every standpoint. That's how Honda was able to successfully enter our market: thank God.

A friend in highschool (1982/83 or so) had a 63 Falcon, 170/I6, 3 on the tree. That car never left us stranded, had pretty good back seat room, got 30mpg, and was sort of cute in a weird way - it was the (Futura?) model with the T-Bird roof and extra chrome.

The Pinto was OK for a six-footer and the low seating was like sitting in an MGA without the pop and zing.

Driving the YUGO was IMPOSSIBLE crammed up in there with knees up against the steering wheel & the feets too big for them little pedals. Once around the block was enough for me.

Beep beep. Horn works. Try the brakes.

Me too! My buddy's was silver with a six under the hood. Kind of faded to gray all over but in real good shape. My friend used to smoke like a chimney behind the wheel and toss them out the window except one butt didn't make it all the way out. He parked it and locked it behind his dad's barn and went inside for the night. Yep the next morning it was all cooked inside, potential vintage Ford charred to a crisp. Fabric seats and liner were very flammable.

He replaced it with the most clapped out & huge ex-Detroit Edison service truck you ever saw. It was the kind with all sorts of tool box panels most of them rusted shut. The front fender panels were so shot that they flapped in the breeze over 15 MPH. It had a massive eight up front and some kind of huge gearbox with multiple stick and stuff. It looked so disreputable that his dad refused to let him park it at the house. He had a tough time getting rid of it. I think he got a couple of buck for it and two or three bottles of wine.

The crazy shit we used to drive.

The Cosworth Vega's are collectible to this day. The owners have figured out the proper fixes for the factory flaws.

Another friend bought a MGB-GT on it's last legs and let it go to an enthusiast. I sat in drivers seat once, or tried to. I could fit seat/floorwell, but not without right knee jammed against steering wheel.

That Cosworth modified engine only put out 110hp or so, really not much improvement over the 96hp 2bbl. GM should have used Chuck Gordon's Opel Manta as the starting point. And hired some metallurgists before signing off on the aluminum engine.

I remember the YUGO depicted as a lawn mower with a couple of seats welded on but didn't mention this after seeing the image at link; Pravda posters may have been onto something since no reason for Serbs, Croats, etc., not to have been able to get their act together eventually and produce a quality product as good or better than others.

My guess is NATO attack on Yugoslavia was inspired by Zionists as an experiment to see if it could be used to fight enemies Israel has created for itself.
