Anyone else remember Yugos?

I'd take a Yugo over a Tesla any day, they were tough little buggers. My brother ditched the hell outta one, had it towed out only because the ditch was too steep & drove away without a dent on it.

decker2000.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes and a yugo could have gotten out of that spot.

carider.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sure do

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sweet ride brah

carider.bsky.social•6 days ago

Right? $4k...cheaper than a Lada.

Geo Metro’s!! Damn war machines compared to the Tesla truck lol!

heatherboyko.bsky.social•6 days ago

My Dad had one. Loved that ugly little car. He was a bigger guy too, not quite 6’ and 350#

Probably do better in the snow than the Muskmobile.

codbiter.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yesss!

psyqyq.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yugos had really good rear window defrosters...so your hands stayed warm while you pushed them.

msmonroe.bsky.social•5 days ago

I LITERALLY had to push my brothers Yugo so he could jump start it. Many times 🤣I think my brother weighed more than the actual car!

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

You’re killing me Smalls (for real)

thehoodedclaw.bsky.social•6 days ago

To be fair the armour plates on them were good.

stroppyllama.bsky.social•6 days ago

The cutting edge of Yugoslavian technology!

vanja-s.bsky.social•6 days ago

However, Yugo would make it out of this snow.

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Anyone else notice the light strobing on the front passenger side?

ampshade.bsky.social•6 days ago

they aren't in real life. it is the difference in refresh rates between the LEDs and the camera.

freckleface.bsky.social•6 days ago

Probably the driver’s robot girlfriend.

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, even with its mighty 1.1 L engine

philliphyper.bsky.social•6 days ago

Le Car?

patrickspring.bsky.social•6 days ago

I remember when Kia’s were two for one.

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wow! I bet the company that started importing Yugos would be delighted at how many people remember them!

algerianhiss.bsky.social•6 days ago

speakerstand.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep they've relaunch that "Adobe" as a new electric car...

speakerstand.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's actually a pretty good car, as was the original Renault 5 that they used in that sketch.

brianjones74.bsky.social•6 days ago

Well, now I feel old. I remember the first time this aired.

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

You’re not the only one

brianjones74.bsky.social•6 days ago

We could desperately use Phil Hartmann right about now.

algerianhiss.bsky.social•6 days ago

would be perfect with a dollop of Al Franken

bookd1909.bsky.social•5 days ago

Or a Norm Macdonald or lord a George Carland

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Poor Phil Hartman

algerianhiss.bsky.social•6 days ago

Jack Handy and Troy McClure, man i love them dudes

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

We’ve been deprived of a lot of great comedy since his death

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

German engineering and Mexican know-how 🎖️

algerianhiss.bsky.social•6 days ago

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

earther65.bsky.social•6 days ago

I will never forget the Yugo. I was checking one out at the dealership and the door handle came off in my hand.

c0jones.bsky.social•6 days ago

That was Malcolm Bricklin’s International Automobile Importers. They also imported a car that I bought new in 1986, Bertone X1/9.

bird-nerdco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ahhh yes. My first car was a late 1970s Sport Spider that had been driven a LOT before I got it. Fun car while it lasted.
