How do you double the value of a Yugo?
Fill it with gas.
Do you mean how to give value to a Yugo?
2x0=0
tbw357 lol. Solid.
This joke is old as the earth. Unoriginal.
In the us the yugo is like 1k. But in serbia oh god its cheap
What do you mean "can you daily drive a yugo?" -rest of Balkan countries
It's easy, get a good suspension and put a 1.6 Fiat engine in it, 700kg, +100hp and no esp/abs is fun
@@miralemnermina142 baš stari ahahah
Its daily before Tito died and is still daily
@@miralemnermina142 no put 1.6 turbo lancia motor and all will be ok
it's surprisingly easy if you have no other choice :D
Why did the Yugo have a rear window defroster? To keep your hands warm while you push it!
You beat me to it mate.
Fun fact: Yugos had reliable engines.
@@xgamerbih wrong!
reliable engine had yugo
We are having a lot of fun this week on Lux Rally. Fortunately the handcuffs in my Instagram post yesterday didn't result in a full arrest and we are still making progress. At least it will make for a great car story and a chance to try out our newest sponsor - The Ticket Clinic.
Why dont they call you "Cannon" Bolian? did someone try and you killed it? XD
@@mycosys he's now Cannon Bolian to me.... thanks....
Ed “The Cannon” Bolian
@@mycosys It does have a ring to it.
Why do yhall re up load videos i swear u upload the same video before with same guy
I showed my dad this video and he said "people in America still have f*cking Yugos?".
Love ya VikWiki!
Tell him the smart Americans dont.
@@AustinsGarage I think you are smart man. 3 years younger than myself and following your car dreams. Won't ever hate on that.
Never said i was smart lol
My terrible car addiction is fwd GM A body cars. Dailying my third Olds Ciera at present.
No, no we do not have Yugos lol
Happy Monday everyone. We hope you had a weekend full of amazing and strange automotive adventures!
Yessir! Another day at the dealership
Where’s the story about what happened at lux rally
I had to pay $25,000 for me and my friends desrtoying a golf course on vintage honda 3 wheelers. You know the ones from the 80s with the 1 wheel in the front
@@dak4465 was it worth it?
@@rhull3939 you bet your ass it was
My grandpa has a modified Yugo, he used to drive autocross and autoslalom with it. It was fun because it was cheap, had 700kg, +100hp, no esp/abs and it revved easily to 8000rpm
You mean a fiat swapped yugo?
@@scarea2691 yugo is based on Fiat 127 using the Fiat engines, that makes it really easy to drop in engines that produce 3x horsepower of original Yugo
Yugo once made a station wagon it was called the weallgo
My team name for the lemons rally was whereyougowego :)
The manufacturer is Zastava Automobili not Yugo, Yugo is just a model name.
I can confirm that you can daily a Yugo since our college professor drives one, and has driven it since the early 2000s
Just in case someone comments he does own a Prius and does drive the dam thing everyday sometimes to the store only or someplace close
@@ismaelgomez1889 that was my Dad and his 2001 impala. He sold that damn car with a bad bearing and a weird problem randomly making it cut out, as well as a body with the worst rust I've seen on a car north of 1990. It still runs to this day, I can hear it struggle to start from a block away.
Point him to the Yugo groups on Facebook.
"flying down the highway as fast as it will go"
probably bouncing off the rev limiter at 55mph
Doesn't have a rev limiter, it's an old school carb, it'll go untill it chokes on air and fuel.
@cyka blyat believe it or not these things red right around nine thousand.
(9k is probably exaggerating, but mine hit 7k nearly every day I drove it. Mine would happily cruise all day at 75+ mph, or for as long as you could stand the noise of nearly 5000rpm through a glasspack muffler. I daily drove it for 2 years in 2003-2005. 50k nearly trouble free miles.
@@mikethornton8445 there's a guy who balanced, blueprinted, ported, and polished the base 1100.... He's turning 11,000 and making 230 horses.
This guy's Yugo must be the worst shape ever. I've seen it in Doug Demuro vid it struggled climbing a mild hill. A good condition Yugo would go 85mph all day long
"Can you daily drive a Yugo today?" ME: (looks out of window) Yes!
Come to the Balkans, you will be amazed what cars can be "daily driven".
I'll be there next month
I did a lemons rally in a Yugo thing broke down every dam day multiple times so............. No but it was a great time and he's right you can never make it out of a gas station or anywhere without someone says OMG is that a YUGO !!!!!
Were you at the southern discomfort last month?
@@AustinsGarage No I did the RT66 run last year but I will be doing the Monterey California run this year in the fall
The Yugo guy is a great way to be remembered on Vinwiki
Last time I was this early, the DeLorean was still struggling to approach 88 mph.
I bought my 1986 Yugo GV new for $3400 and drove it for eight years and only had to change the brake pads every year due to their small size. That’s it. It NEVER broke down one time. Was one of the most reliable cars I ever owned. I put just over 115,000 trouble-free miles on it.
Doug DeMuro made me famous by telling people how bad my car is. What a world we live in.
What a world.
It was always popular here in Serbia and Bosnia.
Especially in Serbia.
You have no idea how many people turn them into serious race cars and race them.
Heck there is whole meeting once a year in Kragujevac just for Zastava owners and most of cars are Yugos.
In short it's really popular here.
Hoping I get chance one day to stuff bike engine into it xD.
@@russotusso1695 seen Dejan Kopajtic's Yugo?
When you start off a story with “Everybody knows me as the Yugo guy..” you know this 💩 is bout to be lit 😂😂😂
I still almost daily drive my Yugo in Las Vegas, if anyone wants to come see it, dive it, have fun with it in Vegas, everyone is more than welcome :)
My friend had a 900cc Yugo 45 rust free from 1982, we got it to an unsafe 85 MPH. We would regulary cruise at 60 - 70 MPH without problems.
We did multiple 300 mile weekend trips with that red Yugo 45 all around Serbia. We only broke down once in Vrsac and we pushed it to a nearby mechanic who charged us 5$ to fix the ignition arm brushes. My friends grandfather still drives it and says it is the most reliable car that he ever owned. He also says it was made by his friend who worked in the factory and he made sure that it was built well.
The 80's versions have better metal quallity than the 90's versions and the versions from 2000's.
Also they dont have rev limiters, you can rev it to its death if you are not careful.
In ex-yu you can see yugo on every corner even today
I driving my Yugo every day the best car ever made 😊👍❤️
I am broke and am daily driving a Skoda 105L from Czechoslovakia. It's working
Lol
@@Reichskanzlei I think I got that because it hasn't been called Czechoslovakia since the fall of the Iron Curtain so technically he would be in the Czech Republic is that what you were getting at
@@chowtownfoodreviews6679 close, very close - but still wrong😉
Slovakia is the country I live in.
@T K Trenčín
Don't ever drive a Yugo across the Mackinac bridge on a windy day.
Good idea

I saw that yellow Yugo from Skopje in th epicture, hell yeah
2:56 that yugo in display has a license plate of the city i live, skopje
That would be North Macedonia?
What a coincidence, the Yugo @2:53 is from my home town :D lol
Koja opstina e ? Cair mozebi
"I've always loved him, ever since I was a kid... but I think that's just because I'm an idiot" shit had me dying. Great stuff as always. More of Austin please!
I'm a Yugo owner and a reasonably competent Yugo mechanic. I keep trying to help this guy. I can help with the speedo problem, the heating problem, the timing belt problem, the fuel problem... I have daily driven one for about two years now. Fifty miles a day, six days a week. I've had a problem or two, but nothing that could really stop me.
I think it’s very unfortunate that Austin’s Yugo because the most well known and popular yugo on the internet, and thus further trashing the reputation of the yugo. And doing a lot of research I’ve found he just had an very bad one and appears to never have actually put in the work to make it good. Also all the videos of the new owners have only further confirmed this.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. There a person locally here that daily drives a Yugo. Mad props to that guy.
While watching this video, my mother just told me a story about one of her classmate's Yugo. He was in a accident and afterwards he backed his Yugo into a ditch to make sure it was totaled.
When I read these titles I immediately wonder who's going to tell the story.
You should've guessed.
I would of been shocked if it was Rabbit.
I currently live in hometown of Yugo. Half of my schoolmates who drive, drive a Yugo, including me. Mine has alloy wheels and aftermarket Kenwood stereo and speakers that is worth more than actual car. One day friend came to me and was like "DUDE, I INSTALLED ALIEXPRESS RADIO IN YUGO, IT ROCKS!". And kids un USA drive Toyota Avensis with automatic gearbox, cameras, sensors and crap. And my Yugo runs on LPG instead of petrol.
Great story goes to show a love for a car is not simply tied to value.
when you learn to drive a Yugo... You can drive anything...
You're making successful 100 mile trips. That's reasonably dependable for me. All things considered and for WHAT it is, I think it seems to be overall quite dependable. I've certainly seen worse. 3K miles a month in a Yugo is not my perfect ideal of fun but I'd DD that thing. For sure. Good share.....
My grandy used to sell cars in his younger days. He said that someone brought a Yugo for their 16 year old's birthday and he gave them one piece of paper work; a bus schedule.
I was sent in my tow truck to repo a Yugo once. Little bugger blew the doors off my rollback and escaped! Not a story I like to share very often...
Good morning, happy Monday, hope your weekend went well! Have a great week!
One of the best persons you interview
I found a Yugo behind a dental office. It has parts inside it. Oregon plates on it but in Michigan.
If Yugo driving, and, if Yugo crash into something, do not pass hospital, Yugo directly to funeral home.
It was pretty ingenious to wire up the light switch to use as the manual fan switch.
Jurassic Park line incoming
"You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should."
YES
if you take care of the car its awesome... ✌
I've wanted a new story from this guy for awhile, type of guy you want your daughter to bring home.
I am actually from Serbia,where yugo was made...
People drive them daily,they put like washing machines,furniture and all kind of crazy stuff on it,the back end is literally floored and they keep going..
And for the record,if you put a 1.6 liter petrol engine from another model (Zastava Florida)and some wider wheels,that car can beat most of like 150-200hp cars like the BMW 320i or something similar..
BTW,i am a big fan of VINwiki,you guys are great..
Would be great if Ed Bolian sees this,would make my day! :D
1.6 from Lancia. :)
William Rekow Both preform really good! Cheers :D
Samo u beograd
Just goes to show beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
The crash test videos of the yugo are amazing to watch.
Its like a cj7 jeep. Cheap over here(used to be) but are extremely rare in Europe.
A great Cars and Coffee ride.
Yugo my man !!!! Better than the game of thrones series finale right here
I have a tan 1980 Mk I Diesel Rabbit that looks identical to the Yugo. Fun little cars. I am planning on doing an ALH swap from a 2002 Beetle. Gotta put in a ton of dynamat, these things have some bad reverb vibration.
Yugo is not only a car it is more love of cars and philosophy. You need to love it. That car is extremely simple and easy for maintain.
I still get tires retreaded, there is a shop in nashville that still does it.
LS swap it and put on Miata(?) suspension 😂😂🤷🏾♂️
Need to call up Dr. Frankenstein for that.
David Bryant shut up idiot, it was obviously a joke
He's 23?!?!
I thought he was 40....fuck man....
Never been this early! I’m sure it’ll be a great video though!
My mom knew a guy in college who had a yugo. And if it was parked in the way of anything they would juat pick it up and move it
i love how driving a yugo in america is something unique and special but if you live in balkanic area you see them at every other trafic lights and you can buy them for like 200$ lmao
I loved my Yugo GVX!!! Dependable as crap with fog lights and air. I bought my '88 new in '89 for $3500 bucks.
'I've always loved them, maybe that's because I'm an idiot.' Ever tried a rotary? Haha. You'd love us.
Fun Fact: Here in michigan one of the numerous deaths on the mackinac bridge was from a Yugo being blown over the side of the bridge.
When I was a kid my babysitter had a Yugo. I remember it being a hunk of crap.
I lump the Yugo in with the AWD AMC wagon from the 80s. People who drove back then remember them, some dearly.
I didn't even watch the video before liking, just because the title alone had me laughing hard enough to earn a like.
“Flying down 400”.... 47mph. 😂😂
When the Yugo engine finally goes...EV swap it
Awesome Yugo
I remember my dad had one of these back in 98' 👀
You talk about them breaking a lot and if you could daily a Yugo. I would bet a lot has to with the Yugo aging only because when I was a teenager I grew up with a girl near me who drove one. She daily it back in the late 80's and early 90's and she never seemed to have issues with hers. A hot chick driving a Yugo is a sight to be seen!
I lowered one in the front w/ "racing springs" from the back of a chevy lumina
I live in New Zealand and myself and my dad have just bought a Yugo 45A 1989 and this comes out a few days later 😂
How much does one cost in nz?
@@Bonkel35 my dad and I paid $600 NZD. That is with the fact that its not working. Guy that sold it to us said it might be a fuel pump issue, but it is a Yugo after all, it could be anything 😂
@@davidjefferson152 nice, great way to spend some time with your dad
@@Bonkel35 yes its a really good way as we've also worked on 2 beach buggies
@@davidjefferson152 45 is a totally different engine. It's OHV not OHC. You'll probably want to try an electric fuel pump. Just remember to put the filter before the pump.
My dad bought one in the early nineties. he had it for three months and in that time the shift linkage broke three times.
We're still driving them in ex Yugoslavia
Before I bought my Golf MK7 facelift I bought myself a Yugo and that shit was bomb. Daly drove it like a mf went from Macedonia to Albania and back a bunch of times and I still keep it to drive it in winter times or to go work in my fields.
LOL, I'm also known as the Yugo guy!
What a title
I think a better question is “should you” hahaha
No
The light switch is a truly-Yugo worthy mod.
That my friend is bad ass...Driving it makes you beyond cool...really.
I had a Yugo as a daily drive in ND when I was in the Air Force. Paid $750 for it and sold for the same amount two years later.
"I like the pain of owning terrible cars". I need to remember that one!
i typed "Yugo" into craigslist and all i got was an ad for a junk car buyer.
I drive Yugo Koral 60.
Brutal stock 😊.
Traveling to Montenegro from Serbia 500km with LPG 20 euro 😊
1.6 dual weber carbureted yugo... can give a run for their money on a lot of your v8s and supercars on a twisty narrow hillclimb.
Cool great job nice car
Ive always wanted one ever since 8 2as a teen in the 80s
The design of the Yugo is actually pretty cool
My father had a very embarrassing red Yugo. He’d say “You wanna come to the grocery store” as a kid I’d reply, “Yugo, I’ll stay”
today? no. tomorrow? maybe!
Dam things do wheelies when you put the foot down in them my mate had one and he drove like a lunatic in it and everything was tied together and shut with rope
You can get Yugo parts at rock auto, FYI
I'd love the next April fool's video just to be a question title, with Ed saying yes or no and then sitting there for 6 minutes in silence.
I remember him more as the bank robbery guy, or the crazy clown guy
Not to be too weird but Austin is looking really good. Glad to see him back! (Who picked him up for this interview bc we all know the Yugo did not make it)
I had one 20yrs ago in IA
I like how 20 TH-camrs I watch shared 1 yellow Yugo that doesn't work, and everyone summits that not single one of them works because all of them shared 1 non maintained one. :D
TBH, the first time i heard about the Yugo is when i was told the story of one being blown off the Mackinac Bridge
I use to sell those things in 1988..... the firewall is made of fiberboard..... not good..
No, the firewall is not made of fiberboard. It's the same steel as the rest of the body.
Aayy it's yugo, it was made in my homeland.
Spoiler alert, only if you have a AAA card. See what I did there?
Ah, I see what you did there.
