Comment on Anon experiences German humor

Another one from Saxony.

A man drives his car to the junkyard, looking for replacement parts. He greets the owner and asks:
“Windshield wiper for a Trabant?”
The junkyard owner thinks for a moment, then replies:
“Sure, sounds like a fair deal.”

The Wikipedia page on East German jokes has a few Trabant jokes.

What’s the best feature of a Trabant? – There’s a heater at the back to keep your hands warm when you’re pushing it.

A new Trabi has been launched with two exhaust pipes – so you can use it as a wheelbarrow.

How do you double the value of a Trabant? – Fill it with gas.

The back page of the Trabant manual contains the local bus schedule.

Four men were seen carrying a Trabant. Somebody asks them why? Was it broken? They reply: “No, nothing wrong with it, we’re just in a hurry.”

How do you catch a Trabi? – Place a piece of chewing gum on the road. (Allusion to weak engine.)

  The heated rear window one and the doubling its value one were jokes that we used to make about Skodas before they got good.
  
  Also, what do you call a Skoda with a sunroof? A skip.
