Gadzooks.  Am I losing it?  Isn't/wasn't there a Hugo car imported from
Yugoslavia some years back?  It was famous for having a 5 x 5 warranty...5
miles or 5 minutes----and the vehicle seldom made it to the end of warranty
without mechanical problems.

But when I searched the web, nadda.  I hope FAA Flight Sturgeons don't
monitor this chat room or I'm dead fish for sure.  Anyway, I meant to
reference some super cheap, clearly worthless piece of junk car so no one
would think anyone (except maybe Jim S.) would ever consider using such an
engine as a Lycosaur surrogate---so that everyone would understand that IT
WAS A JOKE.

Ssseeessshhh.  I quit.

Was this off topic?
