Hey, what about my old 1973 fire-engine red Gremlin? Not on the list?

Collectible only because of its novelty and soon-to-be obsolescence a la the Edsel.

The Modern Day Yugo. What do you call a Yugo with a flat tire? Totaled. What’s included in every Yugo owner’s manual? A bus schedule. What do you call a Yugo that breaks down after 100 miles? An overachiever. Why does the Yugo have a rear-window defroster? So you can keep your hands warm while you push it.

All these pro-Volt stories have a certain Soviet flavor to them.

There might be some sense to this ranking. So few are actually in existence, and of those, there will be a nubmer that don’t survive because of burning up.

Don’t forget those illegal immigrant ghettos where Yugos are frequently used in push-by shootings.

The Edsel is a very collectible vehicle also.

I wonder if there are as many Volts on the road as there are currently licensed Edsels.

Isn’t it about time someone shows up to tell us how wonderful a car the Volt is?

If it’s so valuable in the future, can we send them all there now?
