It is a properly working Yugo.

Yeah, but look on the bright side! You are the only person you know driving a car with the phrase “Made in Yugoslavia” on it! C’mon, that’s cool, right? And they don’t make cars in Yugoslavia anymore! Also, there is no Yugoslavia anymore! So, you know, there’s that....

$1000 in the center console.

I think it would be a fascinating Jalopnik piece if you tried to restore it to whatever resembles a properly working Yugo. I estimate that will cost approximately 17 dollars.

I sat there for about five minutes until my heart…

Redlining 5th or 6th would be well over 150 for both of my cars.....

Holy shit. I don’t think I could realistically do this in 5th or 6th in a real world situation. 4th would be extremely difficult off of a track.

“Floor your car to about 10 miles over the speed limit then coast to 10 under and repeat until you reach your destination for the best fuel economy.”

My dad used to tell me that allowing the fuel level to get below a quarter tank (half tank in the winter) would damage the engine.
