I had a co-worker once who owned a Yugo. It was stolen one night, and caught fire and burned to a shell before the thief could get it a hundred yards from the house.
One of the ingenious features of the Yugo was its space-saving fuel tank. Instead of it being in the normal suspended, somewhat protected location under the rear of the car, the 'fuel tank' was contained in the space within one of the rear quarter panels, in between the rear passenger armrest and the outer panel of the car. Even a moderate hit on that side of the car could be pretty disasterous.
