Is that the 500 HP animal?

[BigCinBigD]

No. It “just” has a V8. ;o)

[The Cajun]

Local dealership had one for sale that turned up 500 or 550 HP. It was a V8..........Big V8 :^)

[BigCinBigD]

That's probably a Shelby. Close to 50k. A tad out of my price range.

The Yugo was a Fiat made in Yugoslavia lest we forget...

[troy McClure]

I drive a 2006 Mustang with V-6.

It gets 30mpg @70mph on my weekly 160 mile round trip to church.

[BigCinBigD]

Nothing wrong with a good V6. How’s the head room?

[vette6387]

Fiat: “ Fix it Again Tony.” Alternatively, “Fix it alla Time.” The only cars that are worse than Fiat’s are Trablants (which can’t be imported here) and those old Renault Dauphines.

[Einherjar]

One of the great innovations with the Yugo was that they ALL had rear window defrosters,,,,,that was to keep your hands warm when you were pushing it.

[ComputerGuy]

Do you remember the Yugo station wagon?
Here in the South we called it the Y'allgo.

I practically cried when I saw some of those perfectly good cars destroyed. What a disgrace.

Disgraceful is a good word. If one of my kids had an idea that disgusting, even the idea of destroying one old but good car of their own for entertainment, we would have a LONG chat about our responsibility to make the best possible use of what we have. Whether or not you can afford to destroy something of value, and the US government cannot afford that, it is immoral to waste the abundance that God has provided. I doubt that one of my children would even consider such a disgraceful idea - I raised them well.
