Title: Moving to Germany
Post by: Beetleboi -Greg- on April 07, 2008, 03:56:20 pm

So I'm packing up my bags and moving to Germany. I am on a quest to purchase a Trabant. The more see of these little cars the more interested I get!!!

Anybody know any information, about them besides they are POS's. I read that much already.

Here's the Wikipedia entry for it:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant

And here's a great line from it:  "The Trabant's production method, which was extremely labor-intensive, remained unchanged, and much of the work was carried out by Vietnamese guest workers."  That should tell you something right there!

I found a site of a place that sells them in the US Minnesota

Ahh...the tribant...giving new meaning to the word "watersoluable"

They are cute but dang, stick to VWs.  Really, what a hassle one of those would be.

Still I'd own it if it was cheap....cause well, Im a car slut and Im not afraid to admit it.
