    What i learned from the drive: many people say Yugos were crap. The truth is that they are actually worse than that. When i drove trough a long left hand corner (i drove very slowly and carefully since this wasn't my car), the Yugo suddenly decided that it wanted to play with the bushes rather than follow my direction. When i stepped on the brakes, it felt like nothing was happening. That scared me that much that i decided to turn around and drive straight home. After all, i think the Yugo is the worst car I've ever driven (even worse than my fathers old car, a Wartburg). Maybe something was wrong with the car, but i don't know.
    Wow, that's damn scary.

    No, great story actually. Just pulling your leg. My german cousin collects older cars and has one of those, proudly drove it on a daily basis until recently.

    When you step outside your door in downunder, its always good to travel with a fat guy in a Porsche for health reasons. I saw it on "world's most F'ing dangerous places" .

    see the below qoute:
    Everything in Australia evolved solely to kill everything else in Australia - and you show up with your soft, unarmored skin, tiny, rounded teeth, and ridiculously non-poisonous spit and expect a vacation?

    You just walked into Mother Nature's Thunderdome, friend. And in this analogy, you're not Max; you're the dead retard.
