Cars nostalgia
Just remembering all the shitty little cars I've driven through the years.
Since I grew up in socialist Yugoslavia, you'll probably laugh as hell when I tell you my first car was the best of them all - the small and robust Zastava 750 (nicknamed "fičo"), based on a very succesful Fiat 600 "Seicento" and produced in Yugoslavia under license from 1965 by the car division of serbian "Crvena Zastava" company, the same guys that spawned the legendary Yugo.
I drove a lot of different cars, always switching from one piece of junk to the next. My Zastava 750 was already 13 years old when I got it so after I fucked it up beyond repair I bought a 1988 Renault 4, made by slovenian Revoz under french license.
They were just out of production then and I later bought another 2 wrecked ones just for the spare parts. Finaly I gave up on the old "quatrelle" (or "katrca" as was known in Slovenia) when my girlfriend crashed it to pieces.
Instead I bought a 1990 Renault 5 from my stepsister who already fucked it up and which I then drove for about a year and a half (god knows only my willpower held that thing together), crashed it twice, patched it up, then sold it and downgraded to another Renault 4.
Few months later I bought a 1991 german Opel Kaddett, perfectly preserved. Too bad a buddy of mine crashed it only two months later. A good, reliable car (unlike the friend i loaned it to).
I downgraded again to another yugo piece of junk, Zastava 101 (mine was made in 1980).
Next up was 1993 Opel Vectra 1.6, big & heavy mother. No luck with this one either. Some madman came speeding into me head on, almost killing us both.
There were some other cars I drove, can't remember all of them, but some of them were even worse than Zastava (you've probably heard of Lada?)
I now ride a bycicle... How about you?
