Breaking News! Breaking News! Breaking News!

An announcement has just been made that Belgrade (former Yugoslavia) will no longer produce the pride of comedic jokes in America, the Yugo.

As I am writing this article the decision has been made and it appears that the last Yugo rolled off the line Thursday 11/20/08. The Yugo hit the U.S. in 1986 and sold for about $3,990.00, although selling more than 100,000 Yugo's in the U.S., the vehicle met the ire of the Insurance Institute for Highway after slow speed crash test resulted in $2,197 worth of damage against a flat barrier.

The Yugo was a tremendous success in the former Yugoslavia republics and enjoyed immense popularity.

So, bye bye forever Yugo... I can't say Americans will miss you...

Enjoy Today!
