Remember the Yugo — that infamous box of bolts from the 1980s Eastern Bloc? Turns out, it’s back. In this episode, Scott and Chase Cammack take a joyride through the history, the hype, and the horror stories of the world’s most mocked automobile. From Cold War car factories to Craigslist comeback attempts, we explore how the Yugo went from punchline to cult classic. It’s nostalgia, bad engineering, and Free Nights and Weekends “energy” — where even broken cars still have mileage.
