Here is supposedly a funny video showing a Trabant being built in east germany. I get it. the guy is fitting the hood with his foot. but i have purchased american cars that i wished had gotten that attention, like the taurus i bought that had no primer so the paint peeled off, and the roof was so weak after i hauled some luggage in a roof bag the doors no longer closed properly. The Trabant was designed to last forever, simple engine, 2 stroke, could run on rubbing alcohol, very good mileage. the performance was awful, but the idea was to build an affordable durable utilitarian car. they last forever so they are a good buy even though they smoke, are slow, and uncomfortable.
