Trabi-Safari, Berlin, Germany and Budapest, Hungary“How many workers does it take to make a Trabant? Two” an old gag goes. “One to fold and one to paste.” Fashioned of Duroplast (recycled plastic resin strengthened with wool or cotton) and produced in East Germany between 1957 and 1991, this “exhaust-belching matchbox of a car,” as one fan calls it, was virtually the only way East Germans could take to the road. They were obsolete the day the Berlin Wall fell. Yes, it fueled many a joke, but with reunification the Trabi gained a cult following. Now you can hire one to tour Berlin in plastic comfort, or travel to Budapest where renting Trabants is popular (no joke).
