Well, I'll have to disagree with them. The Trabant was one of the worst, along with the Polski Fiat, these were literal death traps, starting them was a crapshoot in any weather, plus the Trabant was particularly badly made, also being the cheapest in the entire (meager) selection of available brands and models.
The only relatively good ones were the Lada 2105 and 2106, while the Wartburg, Skoda and maybe the Volga were mostly okay, considering.
To think that a college student can buy a Camaro ZL1 1LE these days is almost unfathomable
It's a car that is miles better than top of the line Ferraris and Lamborghinis of my youth.
EDIT: to SammYyYyY, just in case it isn't clear, there is no jealousy here, just wanted to "drive" down memory lane a bit. I'm genuinely amazed and glad for you, congratulations on your purchase and enjoy the mighty beast
