Hi,
I used to work in Chicago for a Serbian Guy named Norm Kuka. While he was born and raised in the US (Duluth, MN), he nonetheless had an affinity for all things from Yugoslavia. He married a girl from Yugoslavia and even had a Serbian Restaurant in Chicago named the
Yugo Inn, operated by his wife, Rada.
Anyway, back in 1985, Norm asked me to give him a ride, that he was picking up his new car - the 2nd Yugo delivered in Chicago. Anyway, we went to the dealership and the car, a brand new 1986 Yugo, was brought out.
Norm got inside, adjusted the seats and the mirrors, put the car into gear, and just as he was releasing the clutch, the Driver's side Mirror just fell off and broke in the dealer's driveway. On close inspection, the mounting screws had been stripped on installation - not a very auspicious start.
BTW, nice wood burning! I tried it once and all I got was a bunch of charred tinder...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
