I guess I'm a glutton for punishment,

yes

 

The were a old Fiat design ( IIRC) and many of the parts had been sitting in warehouse before the Commies bought them and assembled them. They made k=new, to put some of the parts were 15 years old on the "new" car.

 

 

I was waiting for the 4-door version..the Wego.

When the bottom fell out, and they sold for a fraction of the already low price,

people were buying 2 or 3 at a time

 

just so they could keep one running.

 

 

Parts would fall off of them as you drove them off the lot.

The Trabant has a cool factor to it for some reason... maybe its the two stroke engine, maybe it because the body is made of some wierd plastic. I don't know. I think it would be cool to have one too. But I don't think that the Yugo will ever have that mystique. Might be funny to fully restore it and take it to car shows though just for fun.... to get peoples reactions.

I like the sound of that last part.

Tho as an AMC owner I can kind of understand how some people might treat a Yugo owner @ a car show.
