Let's talk about cars

For.poor workmanship and cheap labour.

Audi Yugo... hi,hi, no way.

I was driving a 1977 Ford LTD and got into a traffic accident with a YUGO.. All it did was dent my fender but totaled out the import. My friend spray painted "Yugo Killer" on the damaged area and I drove it to school and one of the teachers called the cops on me...lol

The good ol days! Haha

Nice car!

What a gas guzzler it was. I cant imagine driving sth like that now. Its like being in a boat...lol

Yeah, but gas was cheap in the States in the seventies.


Passengers got seasick instead of carsick..... LOL!

I have driven a few big old Yank cars and they were mostly like that, but they looked GREAT!

Not my type at all

It had worn shocks so the car would bounce up and down. However, I had the loudest 8 track stereo:)


No so much for the Ford LTD

How about a Trans Am? My mom had a car exactly like this;)

Yeah, they were a nicer drive.

Remember Smokey and the Bandit?

My tranny is OK now. No, I am not talking about anyone I know.

Glad to hear Rich.
Now wax the old girl all up and you will be ready to take her to lunch up to Mackinaw Island.
She'll like that. :-)

So, my car is since yesterday for sale on mobile.de. I wonder how long it will take.

@Alien

What kind of car is it?

Renault Latitude.

@Alien

I never heard of this car, but when Insaw your picture I thought it was a carbon copy of SAAB Aero 9-3. Is it possible GM licensed the model to the French? Special place in my heart for SAAB, always upset me how the brand got passed around.

I also miss Saab, but not Opel (Saab had Opel technology). Latitude is actually Samsung SM5.

I just bought a 2019 Kia from the auto auction for $6500. It only has 23K miles and the interior is really clean. I'll have to spend around $2500 to get the body repairs done, but its totally worth it.

Is this Kia Soul or what?

Its is..... I named it, "Ten But".

Ten But....is this polish - this shoe, or english?

It kind of looks like a boot to me. Its no Tesla, but it be good for her until better buying options come along.

Most of the auto dealerships in my area are still empty.

Yes, I see, boot because of the form. Nice car but not Italian design. More Lastesel (pack donkey).

Cute little clown car it is.
Fits you perfectly. :-)


LOL - someone sure saw you coming.
Double that as parts alone (two fenders, headlight assemblies, grill, bumper and painting them) will be over $2500 Pal.
Then when you put the title in your you will have to pay the sales tax of the value of the car which will be another $700 to $1000.

Ane then you will have to sell it with a salvage title.
That will knock off $3000 of the trade in value.
Sometimes a deal is not always a deal City Boy.

Because Serbia have gas and, on normal prices, among best in the world. Because if they produce in Serbia they can sell it to entire world without limit. Because they have lithium in abundance in Serbia. Because they have steel in Serbia. Because Serbia can provide any natural resource they can imagine. Because they have cheap electricity in Serbia.

Enough reasons?

@Crow
Is everything you listed a unique feature of Serbia?

Not unique but for sure Serbia is in Europe and probably even world only country that can provide all that.

So we have $3000 in Parts & Paint
another $3000 in labor
another $1000 in taxes
another $6500 you paid for it
Lets see, you are up to $13,500 for a clown car with a salvaged title.
What a great deal ! LOL

@johnny reb

Hey dimwit!

Your maths is poor.

He spent 6,500 on the car and needs to spend 2,500 on body repairs.
That makes 9,000 and not 13,500.

9,000 is more than you could ever part with.
Because you don't have it poor boy!

Only his maths?
