I want to drive a Trabant!

Mvy · 11-12-2016, 11:14 AM

Ive always found the Trabant interesting as perhaps the most durable car ever built during the cold war; a car built from nothing for the people. I have had the pleasure of driving one of the worst cars ever built, the Yugo, but never got the chance to drive one of these. If you have any interest in Trabants, I found this article pretty enjoyable.

It's a pos but I am drawn to driving something with so much historic symbolism behind it. Would certainly be memorable.
