What is that awesome thing?

It's a Trabant. They were made in east germany when they were under the communist regime. It's was a cheap car they believed everyone could afford.
I believe they featured a 2 cylinder 2 stroke engine, but I'm not sure.
It's said that some of them had bodies made of cardboard or recycled plastic.
Needless to say they were awful, though this one would have us believe otherwise.

not a big fan of quoting pics, but this thing is perfect in everyway to me. If a had a civic....this is what I would want it to be, perfect stance on a perfect choice of wheels....well done sir, well done


and BTW Gilberts A6 is also amazing, and every single one of his pics are sooooo gorgeous. That car needs to get coverage on something IMO.

that A6 is what made me decide I need one in my life. Its absolutely perfect in every detail to the spot. Literally.
