Just as Hitler brought us the "people's car", Obama will save Amerikka with our own state-owned automobile.
Although it will make a Yugo seem like a Mercedes.
Jay Leno once joked about a Yugo being used in the first "push-by shooting."
In a Yugo
As the snow flies
At a used car lot on the edge of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo
And they drive with pride
Cause if there’s one thing that this world needs
It’s environmental friends who’ll take the lead
In a Yugo
They say, “people don’t you understand
Those suburbans are ruining the land”
But they’ll wish they had a full size van one day
They point fingers at you and me
They say we’re too blind to see
But do we simply use our heads
And choose another way?
As those small wheels turn
Fifty miles to the gallon
And their knees on their chest
They’re gonna save enough gas
For all of the rest
In a Yugo
Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
They’re squashed beneath a produce truck
But they drove with pride...
And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didnt get far
In a Yugo
And as they’re trapped inside
At a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo....
And they drive with pride...
I had a buddy with one of these. He painted 25 Cents on the hood with an arrow pointing at the scoop.
Here in Panama it reminds me of the Russian car the Lada sold here more than 20 years ago.
The Panamanians with their great sense of humor renamed it la Lata (the tin can). They were about $3000 and maybe a little more.
A person I know purchased one. Two years later he couldnt even re-sell it. He took it directly to the junk yard.
I see the Chinese Chery on the same future track.
Is it true that Yugos are still being used in push-by shootings in the hoods?
