From the 10 Worst Cars of the Millenium:

Car: Yugo

People outside of Michigan (a.k.a. "foreigners") may not be aware that the Yugo is the only car to ever be blown off the Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. A strong gust caught one and lifted it over the railing, where it dropped more than a hundred feet to the Straits water below. Unfortunately the young woman driving it died.

Quick, someone cue up Paul Shanklin's parody song, "In a Yugo" (done in the style/music of Elvis's "In the Ghetto"). Rush Limbaugh plays it a lot.
