Ah, the car... Well, I've mused it over with cvvs and Das and this is the car that we thought would be the best to have.
THE TRABANT II:
History of the Trabant II: Basically, Russia has a bunch of near-wars, and people in border countries like the Ukraine have fuck-all for resources cause the Russkies are putting a strain on their economy, so they need the cheapest car possible
DESCRIPTION OF THE Trabant II: The Trabant 2 is light enough to be legally considered a street bike. As such it is commonly used as a car by unlicensed gangbangers and people unable to get a license due to DUIs and other circumstances.
Their cheapness and ease of manufacture make them the perfect car for criminals, because you can just abandon it at no real financial loss.
-It is incapable of operating at temperatures higher than eighty degrees fahrenheit
-You have to crank start it
-It runs on either ethanol or lawnmower fuel
-The frame is hollow and instead of insulation there's just a shit-ton of packing peanuts and sometimes a wasp nest
-There was no point in giving it airbags because the dashboard just disintegrates into this pulpy plastic mush if it is hit with another car so you can't mount anything on it
-They all come with really ugly acid-green mudflaps that can't be removed
-It actually drives faster in reverse
-The Trabant II was built to be biodegradable. The problem is that some parts of it are TOO biodegradable- namely the windows, which are these gross yellowish plexi. They have a weird tendency to rot into this translucent sludge if kept in a too-damp environment.
Basically it is a cheap car that everyone and anyone can get a hold of, and since it is legally a street bike, it makes it easier for us kids to have it. Basically it is just a wonderful get-away car for any situations for the ease of getting it, and it's cost effectiveness.
