The very expression "Yugo Sport" seems hopelessly optimistic. A bit like something I saw recently, a Smart car with a towing ball. I mean, come on.

That's the problem. It's got a huge ad for his business, I guess, on the back and the rest of the Suburban just looks weird. And it's an old Suburban. At least he kept the engine clean.

They all came with hood scoops. That engine's gotta breathe, yo.

A high school friend's dad bought her one of these used. The previous owner had turned the hood scoop 180* so that rain wouldn't get into the motor. :iamafag:

Anyone seen my ball joints?

Jesus, I think everyone is a bit off a bit when they invest huge amounts of money into cars, be it 30,000$ into a jeep for engine swap and suspension upgrades, or pimping out a Range Rover or an H2, but it blows my mind when I see people dump huge amounts of money into relatively mundane vehicles like a old Expedition or Suburban.

Now I'm not hatin' on the burban, I almost picked one up as a minibus/parts truck, a nice late 90's turbo diesel with the rear ambulance door, but I came across a crazy burbian owner at the power wash the other day who wanted to do a straight up trade for his blinged out 90's Suburban for my H1 that I was washing. Just to take it off my hands because gas prices were so bad....

:psyboom:

Yeah, I nicely told him I needed a diesel, but then the guy said I could trade and just conver it to a diesel...

His truck apparently had over "$50,000" invested on a cheap body kit, rent-a-rims and Chinese off brand audio/video gear...

On the other hand there was a friend who had a completely out of character Escalade that he was driving around in as a work truck, but it was an ex-vegas sema truck he got for cheap at an auction that actually did have lots of expensive work done to it.

Nothing like a 60-something gray hair getting out of a chrome and black suv with 24" rimz... and start pulling out tool boxes out of the rear :)

I started being concerned when I saw the back end, which looks somewhat off. Then you see the mirrors are a mess. A little dirt, or is that water damage on the inside? Some interior scratches?

And then you get to the removal of the car bra and it's a total freaking mess inside. Given that the cruise control won't work anymore, I have to wonder how badly damaged the car really is.

Good lord

It's got a back seat... and the instrument cluster appears to be suspiciously like a mid 80s-90s GM from the photo but the rest of the dash doesn't. I don't know.. Horribly mashed F-Body?

Edit: Judging by the underhood photo, it does indeed appear to be GM powered, if nothing else, by looking at the distributor and the rest of the doo-dads.

Oh yeah, definitely a GM "car" at one time.
