And since I no longer have a girlfriend, there’s not a person who can stop me from making a battle Yugo for a Gambler 500.

Except hipsters, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!   I remember only a year or two or three ago a Yugo was like a $200-$500 Craigslist special, but now people want $3k for Yugos that look like they’re one good pothole away from wherever Commie cars go when they die.

I want a cheap Yugo, bring me ads of cheap Yugos!

THIRTY-EIGHT-HUNDRED- DOLLARS?

That is approximately 3800 times more than they were worth new, and that takes inflation into account. What in the actual..

I don’t even.

Not even the most delusional Trotskyite should pay three thousand eight hundred dollars for a Yugo.

How about a Postal Jeep? It’s in better shape than David’s and it’s only $700 . https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/wauconda-79-postal-jeep/6856437140.html

There was a Festiva at last year’s Gambler. Sounded like a truck and had truck mirrors to boot! For whatever dumb reason I’ve been wanting specifically a Yugo for the past couple years. Thankfully I’ve almost always had a saner person to tell me no. lol

(needs wiring and exhaust manifold)

*Sees cut wires*

Yeah, that thing’s not going to make it back to Illinois. lol

A part of me is glad it’s so far away, thus making the “last ran in 2002" part much more of a problem than it would normally be.

Sure it would! On a trailer. Besides, you only need the wires for the ignition and starter, right? Lights and turn signals are for amateurs.

I am, but that doesn’t stop my mind from wandering!

I saw a CF Moto on FB Marketplace today. Of course it's being advertised as a Honda.

Festivas are awesome I wish I could find another one, always wanted to do something crazy with it. Nerd racing is putting a rotary in one iirc. That or a 4wd justy with the red push button awd.

Ooooh link? I’m curious because I’ve yet to see another CF Moto out there aside from a weird looking V5. Wanna see how Crack Pipe priced it is.

These cars really aren’t worth it. A battle Tercel would be a better choice. The speaker grills won’t fall out when you hit a bump.

That sounds like a feature. :D

I mean, if I didn't have a thing for bad cars I wouldn't have gotten a first gen smart. They're so bad that the first bit of advice is to get a AAA membership with the best towing coverage!

I'm not seeing it. I didn't save it, and it popped up randomly.

If you think this is great, wait till you drive a Lady Niva 4X4 for the first time!

It looks rough even for a $500 yugo that hasn’t run in 17 years

Daily driving one of these is enough of a gamble, to enter one in the Gambler 500 is like, the ultimate ABG!

You should see what I’m actually entering for the Gambler 500 this year...I may or may not be building a Chinese “adventure scooter”.

Well, if you make it to the Oregon Gambler 500 keep an eye out for “Team Bunghole” ROFL
