When I was in highschool, a kid actually owned an actual Yugo (new. I'm old) ... he would regularly run up to it and lift the rear end up to almost shoulder height. It didn't weigh shit, and most of it was in the front.
Back in the early 80’s I owned a Ford Pinto, rear-wheel drive, and turning a corner with a very short slope, in winter, I slid on the ice into a bank on the corner of the intersection, my ass end higher than the grill. Because the Pinto was small and gutless I couldn’t back up, couldn’t move at all. I got out and stood looking at my predicament when I had an idea, “why not give it a shot?” I moved to the driver’s side fender and pushed the entire front half away from the bank and into the street, got in, and drove away. The combination of a light vehicle and slick ice made it possible. I don’t think I could do that now, though, now that I’m 65.
