I got a set of YUGO emblems from the junkyard and put magnetic tape on them. I'd put them on the V8 Z at car nights...talk about confusing people..

Yeah, I know. I was the one who warned about the bearings just to be funny.

Years ago I had the pleasure / misfortune of doing a brake job on a Yugo ... Once was definitely enough ... Last I hear it was going over the side of the Mackinaw bridge

At least you didn't say "BMW owner".

The Yugo is probably a rare car these days. I can't imagine any have survived past 50K miles.

On scooters - a friend bought his very young wife a vintage Vespa scooter. It had a deal where you pull in the clutch and twist that same grip assembly to shift the gears. That would be difficult to do by my estimation.

That guy is on my friend shame list. He started out as a clean cut suburban Conservative. Then he ran full force into the MLC wall and went 100% off the rails. Full man bun/Redwings/IPA swilling hipster. Divorced his wife who was a model (looked like Natalie Wood) and an accountant, hooked up with a 19 year old dipshit, and moved into the "cool" part of Milwaukee. He's been through about 25 gfs half his age and one wife he was married to for about a week. Haven't seen or spoked=n to him in 3 years now.

I am firmly grounded in the knowledge any woman half my age that may express an interest in me is bat **** crazy. As for swilling IPA, I hate to speak ill of the dead but Jose was both the source and cure of any further involvement with that swamp water.
