From what i've seen they genuinely look like DEEPLY fun hop in and buzz about cars to dick around in the countryside. I saw a guy dothe impossible...
Actually put professionally made parts in one.
I cannot drive due to no depth perception. I would love to try one of those little guys out. There's next to nothing on them to break and what can break can be rednecked back together. I get WHY the line fell out of fashion, but they really are the eastern bloc version of the beetle and I can respect that.
No joke these cars were pretty good. Short haul, long haul, as long as you had good parts, it ran great. And I took the drunken workers as a joke. In reality they were made pretty well. People were driving 30+ year old Trabants in the 90s with no issues as long as they could find parts. As genuine parts disappeared, people stopped driving them.
I was more refering to your average Trebant was going to be worked on by Unkle Sergi after dinner with whatever was on hand. the factories had... eastern european levels of tolernace in production but the cars themselves were genuinely solid. They were just not enough of them to fill the request lists FOR cars when they had market relevance.
I have heard there are Trebby tours in berlin and (former) eastern german areas.
That's interesting. My mother was blind in one eye and so had no depth perception. I'm pretty sure she rarely drove me anywhere after I got my license and I was the youngest in the family; my dad did most of the teaching-how-to-drive so I guess I never had cause to consider what impact a lack of depth perception might have had on driving. She did drive, though, and never got into an accident or even had a ticket in my lifetime.
If she hadn't told me, I might never have known about her visual issues. I think once or twice I might have seen her miss when trying to put a straw in a cup or similar things, but that could happen to anyone. She did sometimes ask me to switch to her other side when out walking so that she could see me, but navigated crowds without any issues I observed.
Sorry, I didn't mean to get off topic. I was just considering how it might have impacted her in ways I might not have thought about before.
