While making fun of the Yugo back in the 1980's, SNL made a parody ad selling a car for only 179 dollars made out of adobe clay. Who could have guessed that only 20 years later that the Japanese would improve on this concept of "repairable" fenders by working with silicone instead? Incidently, "puyo" (pyuyong) is the sound effect word for something popping into view. Like sproing!
