Don’t forget the “MirthMobile”. Any “super cars” with a licorice dispenser? Don’t think so.
So, before there were any electronics to get hijacked? Like electronic fuel injection? So that was how they did it.....
I kinda wish I had the money to buy a new Yugo and store it back then. I think the way those things dissolved I'd have the only one in the universe. That's gotta be worth something.
My sister had a yellow one.
Yugos still exist, even in the US - look up Aging Wheels yt channel.
In high school a very large but peaceful, calm friend drove a Gremlin. He hated it but it was a free ride from his father. One day the door handle broke on the driver side. Apparently not the first time but even in the 80s parts were difficult to get. So he had to clamber in from the passenger side - quite a sight to behold (did I mention he was a large boy?)
One day shortly thereafter the passenger door handle broke too. He looked at the car in disgust and without a single word walked around the back of the car and opened the hatch. We all thought maybe he would try to climb in that way, but no - he opened a toolbox, selected an ice pick / awl thingy and proceeded to stab the shit out of the car with apparent gusto. Did I mention he was a very large, peaceful guy? Not one word until he had thoroughly perforated the AMC to his evident satisfaction, at which time he calmly replaced the ice pick in the tool kit, slammed the hatch and walked back into the high school to call his father to come get him from the family farm some thirty minutes out of town.
Not sure what ever happened to the Gremlin, but he didn’t drive it to school ever again.
