    they don’t mean quality as in nice. They mean quality as in it still exists.

    Those wooden floor boards are probably still there, to this day. Still shitty, but there.

      It’s not a mystery which of the car might’ve been available in East Germany.

      Trabants aren’t exactly known for being long lasting.
