It would seem to me that if I was gonna do some shooin' up at the bank that has cameras, that I would at least drive something that is commonly seen in the area so I won't be easily recognized.

Gremlin
I was told getting my beauty sleep was a waste of time.
1990 Astro (Z motor) mostly original @ 343,584 miles (552,944.8488960001 Canadian) (03/2008). Bad startup puff. Starting to spray for skeeters. Gone 06/07/08.
1993 Astro with a bad W motor. Parked next to a chicken coop in Talking Rock GA
I'm 'tween Canton and Holly Springs (North NorthWest of Atlanta GA)
I haul bottled water everyday- between 500 and 2500 pounds (226.796185 and 1,133.980925 Canadian) INSIDE the van.

Re: Gremlin
...after it had broken down and spare parts would take a few days to get in...Police confiscated the car late Thursday. They found it unoccupied at the Greene and Albemarle county line
i guess the only way it could be harder to blend in or escape is if they were throwing pipe bombs from a yugo... [-X

Re: Gremlin
As a side note...
The Yogo was:
Very cheap to buy

Was expensive to repair.
Got very poor gas mileage for the type of car is was.

Re: Gremlin
i remember a hot rod magazine back in the early 90's that had a small pictue of a yugo with a 350 chevy in it, it was in a readers rides section or something like that, wasn't a pretty swap, but it sure was different...The answer is obvious. Swap in a V8!

Re: Gremlin
A Coupla things here...
1. Gremlins were available with V-8's when new, the AMC 304, which was a pretty good engine.
2. The entire drive train and parts to keep it going (regardless of engine) are available at Jeep dealers/stores, since they have similar power trains.
3. This guy WANTED to get caught! Nothing stealthy about him or his "plan".
Dumb!!! Glad he was caught before he really hurt someone! If he thinks he got his heart broken twice before.....just wait 'til he gets to Prison!!

How do you double the value of a Yugo? Fill the tank! What do you call a four door Yugo? A Wego.
