Yugo-Olds V8 dragster can run away with your ego for just $2,000

"Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free/The wretched refuse of your teeming shore/Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me." Emma Lazarus' famous paean at the feet of The Statue of Liberty was never so tested as the years when it applied to the Yugo, a wretched refuse of an automobile that would fall apart at the first taste of tempest-tossing. One such lucky immigrant has won a permanent American visa through marriage to an old Detroit family -- namely the 325-hp V-8 of an Oldsmobile, residing where its back seats used to be. For $2,000, it can become a resident of your homeland.
