[Spits] OT: Trabant

[s1500 at comcast.net]

I went to Krakow, Poland at the beginning of December, and took the "Crazy tours" communism tour. I got to ride in a Trabant car. I must say, the Trabant makes my Spit looks like some sort of high-tech supercar. 2-cycle engine, goofy shifter layout & really rough running condition makes for a weird ride. Our tour guide/driver ran out of gas & switched gas tanks(with a switch)  as we were doing down a busy street.
