    I respect 2 flavours of potato chips:
    -The pepper flavour, so good. Not too hot, not too lame. Perfect for parties.
    -The green onion. I use these for movies.

    I also like pretzels...

    Thats really cool. I have never heard of a museum selling their cars, but maybe its happened before. Interesting to see a lot of LHD imports in Australia, not something I would have expected. I want to go to a car museum sometime soon, haven't been in a long time. The last one I went to was Rev's Institute in southern Florida. It was a great experience, got to see a 1930s Bugatti racecar, GT40 LeMans car, a Mclaren F1, a Trabant 601, and many more amazing cars.

    A trabant in Florida ? Crazy world we live in, oh yeah there are plenty of RHD imports here from when they were sold new (Like the Pontiac Laurentian and several Chevrolets in the late '50s and early '60s, same with Chrysler and Plymouth) or some were imported during the '90s when the aussie dollar was quite high. We also have several dedicated american import shops around too. The smart cookies here buy american cars because they are far, far cheaper (especially when still LHD) and offer heaps more in many ways that basic Aus car doesn't have for the same money. Now the reason you see these american cars as the original LHD is because West Australia is a little more relaxed when it comes to registering imported cars compared to the other states, other states must be converted (which i Strongly disagree with) to RHD. Many here are put off driving a LHD car for some reason, so that really jolts the prices down

    Funnily enough the Trabant was the only car I took a picture of:
    20180106_150934.jpg
    All the others I just couldn't bring myself to take a photo of because pixels on a screen can't capture the sense of energy and power they give off.

    I'm curious, would it be legal/possible to own and drive a Trabant here in the U.S. with the appropriate import papers or whatever?

    The museum stated they weren't allowed to even start theirs up because of emissions but I don't think they imported it correctly or something. Been watching Aging Wheels for years, and his is road legal ofc.

    @Harkin Labs Gaming posted a pic of a Trabant he found in a museum in Florida. Now, @combatwombat96 's response multiplied itself a lot.

    And shit hit the fan.
