      I have to agree that "the Yugo was the cutting edge of Serbo-Croation technology"-Dan Akroid

      Here are some examples of what the car companies you mentioned got with their billions spent defaming the Yugo...

      How do you make a Yugo go faster?
      A towtruck.

      What do you call the shock absorbers inside a Yugo?
      Passengers.

      Two guys in a Yugo were arrested last night in Oakland following a push-by shooting incident.

      The new Yugo has an air bag. When you sense an impending accident, start pumping real fast.

      A friend went to a dealer the other day and said, "I'd like a gas cap for my Yugo." The dealer replied, "Okay. Sounds like a fair trade."

      I have also said for years that the car is named because "Yugo, but it doesn't".

      How can you get a Yugo to do 60 miles an hour?
      Push it over a cliff.

      They didn't get their $ worth.

          I believe Manchester currently has Italian trams, and has ordered some Canadian ones for the future.

            San Diego's older trolleys are German built Siemens-Duewag U2s though since around 1998 they've been buying Siemens SD100 & SD70s.

              Göteborg bought new trams from Italy a few years ago. Needless to say they were crap and the first batch broke down when the temperature went below freezing...

                Why would anyone be interested or care about what San Diego does?

                    Do you see me posting pictures of Calgary trains in this thread randomly?

                      The truth is the German engineering is in a sad state. Older engineers like Sir Ralph are becoming fewer and with you studiying ballet and BeBro going into designing clothes, there's nobody left to replace them. It breaks my heart.

                        I googled them. They're so ugly I can see why you didn't.

                        Besides I'm just shilling for German made trolleys/trams which were unfairly maligned by our resident Croat.

                          You must be mighty stupid. San Diego and Calgary both use Siemens-Duewag U2.

                          The thing is Calgary is phasing them out in favour of more efficient ones now, the Siemens SD-160.

                            But ours are painted nicer. And now we buy different Siemens trains.

                              Old Siemens-Duewag U2:


                              New(ish) siemens SD100:



                              Even newer Siemens SD70:


                              BTW bigger /= better. Often times it is better to buy more but smaller trams/trolleys then to buy fewer big ones.

                                Yes, San Diego now purchases the older SD-100s while Calgary uses the SD-160s which are more efficient. They look the same, just one is better internally...
