Crazy car videos and photos

Impressive. I knew someone who accomplished the first half of that maneuver, courtesy of a sheet of "black ice" on the road.

Quote from Splinter

Remembering the Trabant.

I heard many years ago that this car had an excellent design in its rear part, the trunk, to make easier to hold it and push forward with the hands when the car did not work,

(I think that it was told by a west german guy, to mock the eastern guys)

That’s a great story!

Casually today I commented about this car to my friend, a Dane who comes to Argentina every summer to spare the cold weather of Denmark.

He told me that in the 1970's the young danes (hippies) purchased that car to mean a sense of solidarity with the East German people. I was intrigued because why
a people who created the reliable VW beetle in 1938 could not make a similar car in the 1960's. He answered that to build a VW beetle would need much more money to invest in the car's development. and this was not possible in East Germany.

By the end of East Germany, there wasn’t a single soul in the east or west who didn’t make fun of the Traby.

That looks like something on display in MALBA.

... and these were all in one morning at the Hertz rental facility in Hoboken, New Jersey.

I hope she wasn't a vampire.
