Custom East German Trabant Car T-Shirt

Custom East German Trabant Car T-Shirt

A computer-generated, black and gold, image of a customised East German Trabant automobile. The customised car's nickname, Trabasaurus rex, in an appropriate font, appears both on the vehicle door and below the image. The vehicle bears an Idaho license plate reading "TRABI REX" as it was customised by mythical Warsaw Pact Wonder Wheels (Classic Commie Cars) in Sandpoint. The logo of Warsaw Pact Wonder Wheels appears on the back. The Trabant was the people's car of East Germany "Trabant" means travelling companion and was inspired by the Russian word "sputnik" with the same meaning. Over 3 million Trabants were produced in the span of 30 years. The Trabant's engine was underpowered, inefficient and created much pollution. The much maligned Trabant, or Trabi as it was commonly known, has long been the butt of jokes, but has become trendy in recent years. Some have been imported to the United States. The roof, trunk lid,hood,fenders, and doors were constructed with Duroplast, a hard plastic akin to Bakelite, made of recycled materials: cotton waste from the Soviet Union and phenol resins from the East German dye industry. This made the Trabant the first car with a body made of recycled material and was partially responsible for the misconception that it was made of cardboard. Various crash test results showed it performed better than comparable contemporary Western hatchbacks.

Basic Dark T-Shirt, Navy Blue, Adult S
I found the shirt quality itself to be well made. Unfortunately I found that the image quality of the artwork is low resoultion. So the art and words aren't as clear. I probably wont buy another shirt to be honest, but I'm glad I supported the podcast of which I'm a fan of. I was just hoping that for the price I paid, it would have been of better quality.
