My Poor Blue Yugo
« on: November 05, 2008, 07:04:14 pm »

My Poor Blue Yugo

If You Don't Know JimH Had A Old Blue Yugo Laying Around The Outside Of His Old Home And Many Years Ago He Gave It To Me. Maybe He Felt Sorry For Me Maybe It Was Turning His Soil To Acidic, Tired Of Using It As A Flower Pot? No Clue.

At Any Rate I Got My Registration Today, And Took It Over To The Local Yugo Repair Service Guy, To Get It Inspected, And 3 Out Of Of The 4 Engine Mounts Are Broken, And The Brake Pads Are Gone.

It Is Setting Over There For A Few Days Until He Finds The Parts On The Black Market.

I Am Also Having It Detailed For $25.00

$900 Later My Water Pump Works.

I Had Them Replace The Pump, Lines Going Down In The Well (That Had Collapsed) The Check Valve Was Gone (Vanished), And I Had Them Add Two Tanks Where I Only Had One Before.

The Problem Was Once It All Got Working, My Kitchen Sink Fixture (Copper Line) Had A Pin Hole In It. Now I Need To Buy A New One Of Them.

FedEx Delivered The Parts For My Car This Morning, And They Were Brought To My Local Yugo Repair Guy Under Guard From Wells Fargo.

They Had To Fly In The Brakes Pads From Serbia Where The Remaining Parts Are Kept Under High Security, And Checked Out Manually By Herb With A Number 2 Pencil.

$1073 Later And My Blue Yugo Is Back Home, Tucked Nicely With In Its Ring Of Rust (My Normal Parking Spot In The Grass).

I Think That Was "Ring Of Fire"

I Was Never A Johnny Cash Fan.

Now The New Kitchen Sink Fixture, Has Different Connections Than The Old One, For $194 It Should Come With A Ipod.

Looking Forward To A Bath After Being Hosed For The Last Three Days.

Hi King,

Try "Hurt" off of Cash's "The Man Comes Around" album, it's a cover of Nine Inch Nails' hurt, and is very amazing, and as an added bonus might help you through the next few days of Squirt or Sprite or whatever that soda was you are drinking...

Squirt And Wink Are Similar, Both Are Grapefruit Soda.

I Think Wink Has More Bubbles However.

Time For My Frappuccino, Dang That Stuff Is Good.
