My boss just brought back four Citroen 2CVs from Europe.... as much of a primitive JOKE as they are, what an awesome little car. Okay... so my snowmobile has a bigger engine, and way more horsepower... but they are just sooo cool!

Roll down windows are over-rated.

When I lived in France as a child, I remember seeing that thing around.

Oh and we had a Renault Cinq.

Yeah in high school I drove a Renault 5 "Le Car" for about a week. It was a babe magnet.

Well, okay. That last part was a blatant lie.

A LeCar!!! BWAHAHAHAHA... 3 lugnuts per wheel, top speed of about 55mph... they were terrible!!

BUT, like the Yugo, they made an OUTSTANDING offroad beater.

The 2CV has 3 lug wheels too, as does the Smart (hah) Car.

Yeah, it was pretty awesome offroad, I'll admit that.

I'd like to own a Yugo, but there are only 3 known to exist in Canada.

If I remember right, we had the 2nd generation model so it didn't share same awfulness as the Le Car.

2CV Turbo? I like.

I HAVE determined these cars have the structural rigidity of a tent.

Probably have to build a cage of sorts to hold it together then and suspension would have to be redone completely.
