Poll: Would You Go On A Trabant?

   Seriously, yes! What's wrong with the Trabant? !! It's even such a small and sympathetic, much sweeter than a flattened VW from behind. Take it and don't care, you'll just sift the stupid girls easier.

   Sam said the car was for work. However, you did not specify what the job is, because if the job is to take down girls, definitely a trabant will not do the job for you. If you have to go to work with him and you are OK with the fact that there will inevitably be people who will make fun of you, then this is your car. But I note that the question here is more about what message you are sending while driving a Trabant. Today, the car is much more than a vehicle - it is a symbol of prestige, success, social status, financial status. I will not dwell on why this is so and whether it is right, but know that people, for better or worse, perceive cheap cars as a sign of poverty and lack of authority and social status. With such a car, there will be almost no one to take you seriously. And taking it seriously is important in life, because in its course you have to communicate with people, to build relationships with them, to provoke a certain image, to build an image, otherwise it does not work, you are doomed to failure. Again, I will not comment on whether this is for good or for bad. One example: you are a businessman and you go to a potential client. The goal is to convince him that you are a serious manufacturer, you have many customers, people are dying to work with you, you offer quality, good service, you are very sought after, successful. The ultimate goal is to make him your loyal customer. But at the same time you go up to the meeting with the Trabant. What do you think, will he believe you when he sees your Trabant? Will he become your client? Will he take you seriously? Here is an example of how the car at one point turns out to be part of your role and as such has to do with achieving goals. PS: I personally don't think it's frivolous,

   Our swamp princesses will never board a Trabant.

   When I hear "Trabant" and imagine a blue, battered car, out of motion ... I am a man and I would neither get on nor buy. But I'm an extravagant person, I don't like to be guided by the conventional "model" for anything. Yes, get a Trabant, but transform it - change the upholstery (you can dress the seats with denim, for example), change the color (something bright but not flashy) ... There are so many things you can do to make it the car is unique and most of all interesting. :) Good luck

   I would be happy if a friend drives a Trabant :)) Gone are the days when they were seen as the "worst car", now they have a retro flavor :)

   Ahahaha great topic. I wouldn't just. I have ridden many times. In my teens, a boy from the company had a tranbant and we drove with him everywhere. Last summer, a friend had nostalgic for the old days and tightened his grandfather's Warburg. Hey, we went around with Warburghito all summer. It was a great experience.

   I am a woman. When I took the courses, I, like you, thought of buying a Trabant. Not funny. It's very fashionable! I rode as a child in such a miracle. Our uncle had loaded 4 adults and 5 children. We were packed like Hamburg salami. At the corners, the Trabant drove it on 2 tires. Ha-ha-ha-ha when I think about it and it makes me laugh.

   Hahaha, I don't believe you're serious ... no normal person will buy a Trabant in those years, unless it's a hoax ... Otherwise I personally won't go out with a boy who drives a Trabant. Everyone just repeats that others were the more important qualities in a person, but I don't think anyone takes it seriously. And no man will feel good in a Trabant. Yes, the boy can be great, but this is a rebate, dude .... All his charm is lost somehow :) It is better to have no car for life than to have one.

   I like trabants! My father had such a miracle for the first car, but he bought another after that. Honestly, I got on and I would get on such a car again, despite the constant noise and frequent stops, I wouldn't buy it, just because I currently own a Volvo V30, but otherwise I would be happy to get on a Trabant again. . Nowadays, they are quite rare and do not do as they did before. They rust very quickly and the parts break down. And what you wrote is easy to maintain is not at all, the parts that constantly break down are quite expensive and consume an awful lot of fuel. But still you decide. Success! Woman, 18

   I will go up and say nothing, but I would not go out with you again. If you don't have the financial means for another car ... just don't take it.

   This is complete nonsense to identify the person in the car. It doesn't matter who drives what car. Everyone according to their abilities. About the question you asked - of course I will get in the car. Nothing will happen to me. I will even be happy - I like the old things.

   You made a very interesting topic. Well done! : D Well, if it's well maintained and not some carriage buzzing like a tractor, then YES!

   with the fact that you have to mix oil with gasoline, I don't know if it will be so cheap, for 20 liters of gasoline 1 liter of oil. I do not know where you will buy the oil in such quantities, but good luck

   You seem to have decided to test a girl's feelings for you? : D This will be a big test, you have a good approach! : D

   Haha .. don't expose yourself .. If you want to buy a Trabant as soon as you have to do your job and it's easy to maintain .. But how can you even think that with this car you can take a girl .. Hahahahahahaha Better take it with a mini cart, they will laugh less than with a trabant .. And you know how they think about what people will say .. They will hardly build an opinion about you in your car, but the trabant is just not worth it anymore. Buy a small and cheap car, it doesn't burn a lot and of course it's easy to maintain .. I don't believe you can't afford it ..

   Once you live - I would get on because I'm not superficial .. If I love you - I will love you, not your car!

   I am a 28-year-old woman and I will enjoy going to Trabant with the greatest pleasure. Of course, the car doesn't define the person, that's stupid. My first car was a Lada, I drove it for 2 years and I loved it a lot :) However, if you are looking for something more economical, I do not think that the Trabant is a good solution. As far as I know, they will adopt (if they have not already adopted) a law related to taxes on harmful emissions from old cars. f. the older they are, the higher the tax / and it would not be bad to ask about it. I wish you success in finding a car and safe driving !!!

   Pffff ... what are you talking about ... there was one at sea, where he had made 10 Trabants in a convertible and arranged an incredible seir for foreigners (mainly Swabians). If you put the Trabant's MP3 player to play sounds like from Pravets-82, you will kill the fish! There is a German band - Pornofonique (e @ ati name! :))))) where they bring it a lot to Pravets .. Their only album is called "8-bit fire", and the graphics on their site are green and black, as from TV "Veliko Tarnovo 84". Viva retro !!!

   Trabant is the first western machine to appear in Bulgaria with front-wheel drive, this is 50 years ago. All modern machines are prototypes of Trabant. You've heard a joke, through the soc, imported models of current cars, Trabant and Wartburg, and it's true. What the Germans first introduced 50-60 years ago in these two cars, now all modern brands have implemented. The Trabant is a war machine, drive it, and don't care. And a boyfriend who chooses you for the car, to find an uncle-money, spend them like that!

   I have not tried to reproduce the situation you described, but I can tell you one thing: before you do, check the weather forecast! The worst thing about a first date is that your car falls apart after a heavy rain and leaves you and your boyfriend under piles of wet cardboard. :) I'm more for the fun answers, but I will also contribute to the serious conversation - why should there be a problem? Only the complexes think that the car shows what kind of person you are and "Trabant" or any other car is a bad choice. There are no good and bad car brands - there are moving and stopped. Once it moves, it performs its function! To everyone's surprise, I will say that cars are designed to take us long or short distances (not every day you walk), and not to show high social status ("Break out of anger! I'm I have this ... "

   you have two options one is to change the trabant to paint it colorful to put it alloy wheels powerful system, you can change the engine not to paper but it becomes very complicated, in the end it should be unique and the chicks will get on, the second option is to restore it in its original form, so it will serve as a filter will protect you from women who are looking for a man for his money, but if a girl gets on you will be sure that it does not matter what car you drive and it matters what kind of man you are

   It would be interesting if you tune a little car - a little eccentric paint :) The question is how much will the maintenance of this old vehicle, surely everything will be ruined?

   From the Author: Really, a lot of the answers made me laugh, others I liked a lot, in general, what I think is to be my first car and go everywhere with it, at least until I get another car. Then he will probably fight just for fun. Naturally, I mean the car is in normal technical condition for a nearly 25-year-old car. My idea is to do a classic clean tuning in German style, without gypsies, etc. Ie normal good metallic paint for example, nice wheels, clean front apron under the bumper without blows, a little touched engine, interior made like people. I prefer this style. I don't like gypsies. Parts are still original, less expensive and new parts are still being produced. The car does not require you to lie under it all the time. In the years when there was one in the family, reliability was much better than our other car, which was not so old. Maybe that's why I stopped. Consumption burns in the city to 6l / 100km, which is quite good in my opinion. If you drive with good oils, even the cost drops. Things as I think maintenance will not be more expensive to me than a normal small more modern car. Well, I'm expecting more answers, I really didn't expect the topic to become so active.

   There is a tuned Trabant in our town, I painted it purple. Makes fierce competition of the Mini Coopers, terribly attractive stroller: P Otherwise seriously - you will sift the muffins this way. This is quite valuable.

   I'm not a materialist, but a Trabant will come in handy, especially if it's dusty, dirty, with oil stains (from mixing gasoline and oil), etc. Sorry, but these are my associations

   Don't take such a hull! You know that when you put 2 girls in the car and he can't get out in the first uphill. Buy for your money something better like Lada for example.

   №22 is right, if you decide to drive a cockroach (regardless of the brand), you will not be a person to be envied, but if you decide to put in work and imagination, you will arouse the admiration of others. Yes, indeed, the old car consumes more time and money to maintain it than a new one, but the pleasure of your work will be huge. If you manage to implement modernity in the old Traby, you will really impress not only the girls, but also everyone who loves retro. Just as a well-restored family house creates coziness and tranquility, catches the eye with its beauty, so your Traby will catch the eye if you restore it well, but it will cost you dearly. If you do it just to catch pieces, you better not get caught, it will be very expensive (there are also easy ways to count), but if you like to restore, and it brings you pleasure, then act.

   Yes, what's the matter with the Trabant;) It's even great. I've seen such a fashionably refined Trabant that you enjoy driving it and watching :)

   True story. Once upon a time, there was a very wild boxer in Plovdiv. And he was jokingly driving a Trabant. At the crossroads they make fun of him, detect him, shout at him, etc. Naturally, this is done by people who are not very, very busy and do not know who is driving. ))) He went down and ... full caramenella ...))) There was a lot of laughter, but it was in other times. If you like it, you yourself - take a Trabant. You will understand more easily who has a sense of humor and is a cool person. I will definitely take a ride. One Lady.

   I personally would have gone up, but I would have been uncomfortable: DD, whenever I saw moving Trabants, I reacted with "wow, this should be in the museum!" ...: DD

   Dude, the Trabant is a retro car. After 10-20 years it can cost about 10-15 bucks. Take without thinking. I took a warburg and touched it from here to there. for 5 grand you can make a trabant dream car. And besides, such a car gives a new meaning to the word exotic. ;) Tell us how it went and whether you took the car!

   Everything with its time - the Trabant is a symbol, but at a different time. I am a woman, I would get in such a car, but all the time I will think that it will not provide me with the licenses and especially the security of modern cars. I wouldn't put on my mother's dress from her prom, would you put on your father's suit?

   Would I go up? AZ KARAM TRABANT!

   From the Author: Number 33 May we turned out to be colleagues? : D There is time to buy, I will write if it happens anyway. I'm out of the game for now, but let me get a book first and then I'll think about it.
