Pig Eating A Trabant Car
|
Overview
The name, meaning 'satellite' or 'companion ' in German, was inspired by Soviet Sputnik. The cars are often referred to as the Trabbi or Trabi, pronounced English pronunciation: /ˈtrɑːbi/ trah-bee in English.
Since it could take years for a Trabant to be delivered from the time it was ordered, people who finally got one were very careful with it and usually became skillful in maintaining and repairing it. The lifespan of an average Trabant was 28 years. Used Trabants would often fetch a higher price than new ones, as the former were available immediately, while the latter required the infamous long wait.
