So ugh, maybe if we manage to make it a thing we will need some abbreviation or some shit, suggest avaible acronyms or something.

N.C.D.B.W (Non-Composable Duroplast Box on Wheels) Thread

...

Thinking about it, the P50 is plushie material. Shame it wouldn't get the hype of Twingo though.

But that makes me wonder.

Would a Twingo engine be good for swap on a Trabbi?

>ywn own a comfy commie shitbox

DANKE TRABANT

why? they aren't illegal in the US

Probably not even present that much in US anyway.

Probably you'd get fucked at NOx/CO2 emissions eitherway depending where you live, unless you do an engy swap.

do a full drivetrain and engine swap with a subaru justy.

trabi was my dream car when i was young
maybe i will get one someday with 1.1 engine from vw polo, those should be driveable

the only ones i've seen are collector pieces that boomers want 10k for. i like the car, but not that much. show me where i can get one imported for less than 3k.

>it's a /red/ thread
neat
here, have a rallying Wartburg

Their "freedom" is a facade, comrad

Danke Trabant

is there a russian version of craigslist?

There should be, but you may have some luck finding commiecars on mobile.de too.

Not a bad idea actually.

>tfw no comfy Wartburg to drive through snow with.

>tfw no comfy Wartburg to drive from Berlin to Leipzig with the roof down

Danke trabant

Hope all the trabants will crash and burn along with the owners.

oh-HO MOMMA! I never knew Wartburgs could be so beautiful!

OK fella.

...

commie cars are legal in the US, they're just relatively expensive if you want pristine examples

this site regularly sells imported Ladas and shit but they usually go for $7k - $20k

I've seen Trabants on eBay for $3k or so, and Ladas for $10k

>tfw I chickened out of getting a silver Lada that was only 100 miles away

GDR police never had any trabBANTZ btw

No but border control did have some they tried to use as "jeeps"
It didn't work very well.
That particular model is very rare though, sadly. under 500 exist.

>I've seen Trabants on eBay for $3k or so
more like 15k.

the boomer tax is stupid now. its literally cheaper to import one yourself.
