How do you double the value of a Trabant? Fill up the tank!

How do you make a Trabant into a sports car? Gym shoes in the trunk!

Why is the Trabant called the Trabbi? If it went faster than 90 km/h, it would have to be called Galoppi. (Trab means Trot in Germany. Galoppi is derived from Galopp, German for "gallop".)

During a visit to the Leipzig Trade Fair a filthy rich oil sheikh heard that that there should be a car with a delivery time of over ten years. Since Rolls Royce usually delivers more quickly than that, it must be quite an exceptional car, which he would certainly have to have in his collection.
Sight unseen, he made a request to order this Trabant. In Zwickau they're aware of this great honor, so they immediately change the running Five-Year Plan and bring forward a specimen. In the container, the car reaches the emirate in a handful of weeks. The happy oil sheikh immediately called his friends together, opened the container, and surprisedly exclaimed: "Gosh, they have incredibly long delivery times, but at least they send you a cardboard model in advance!"

Sachsenring AG brought out a new Eco-Trabi: Immediately available for delivery, extremely cheap, extremely quiet, extremely environmentally friendly - with electric power train. Problem: The extension cord is only 20 meters long and not in stock!

The cow pie asked the Trabant: "What are you?" The Trabant says: "A car!" The cow pie's response: "If you're a car, then I'm a pizza!"

What happened if a Trabant can't move when the light turns green? The Mercedes behind him has its ventilation running.

Why does the Trabant have a heatable rear window? So that you don't get such cold fingers when you're pushing it.

A man stops his Trabant at a garage and says: "Two windscreen wipers for my Trabant". The garage owner thinks for a moment, then replies "OK, that's a fair deal".
