German engineering at its finest  -  Jun 15th, 2007 10:02am

My friend Oliver is a true die-hard German who came over here a few years ago to be a computer programmer.  He has a lot of great stories about growing up over there and one of my favorites is about the East German cars that were so bad they ground most of them up and paved roads with their remains.

Only problem was that the roads stunk like fish every time it got hot so they had to dig up the roads and bury the rubble.  Found this great video of the Trabant through Boing Boing and I think its the car he was talking about since its made out of some sort of plastic/sheep mixture.

Hood won't fit - kick with shoe.  Door off center - bash with mallet ...rinse lather repeat.
