I have read a little about the Trabant ... and they were not such great cars, but I understand that they now have a bit of a following. Some years ago, I believe it was Car and Driver magazine that tried to bring one into the US for a road test, but the Government would not let them drive it on the highway ... so there was a close up photo of a guy driving the Trabant ... then a similar shot of the same setup, but from further back showing the car was being pulled on a trailer

Looks like the driver of this Trabant is getting it warmed up for a Smog check ... nice shoes !

Thanks for the post!
