6. Actually they are, believe it or not people use them as race cars
I'm a Fiat owner (save it, no it's not built like a Ferrari but it's still a classic Italian sports car, and very reliable) and my parts guy talks about the Yugo racers all the time. I guess they like them because they're easy to modify and very light.

3. Ah The Classics....
The Vega, the Pinto, the Maverick, the Chevette, the Gremlin, and of course, the Pacer.

4. We used to have a morning drive time traffic reporter scooting around town
in a lime green Yugo limousine.

They used to say, "It's like a Bic lighter. When it runs out of gas, you throw it away and buy a new one!" :rofl:

5. Serbian-made Fiat
Ah, the best of both sides of the Iron Curtain.

Actually, it wasn't THAT bad to drive. Just like a FIAT 128.
