An old Porsche joke that I translated from German.
An East German man is on summer holiday in Swizerland with his Trabant. He pulls into a gas station and starts looking for 2 stroke fuel. At the same time a yellow Porsche pulls into that same gas station. The Trabbi driver stares at the Porsche with his mouth wide open.
The well dressed Porsche owner comes over with his jacket casually slung over his shoulder and says; "Nice ride heh?".
The Trabbi driver responds; "Oh yeah, that piece of machinery will most likely do more than 80 km/h." "You know, this is my Trabant. I dream of doing 100 km/h here on the swiss autobahn just once, but unfortunately the Trabbi won't make it over 80 km/h not even on a good day."
(Porsche driver) "No problem!" "I'm not busy today and I have a towing rope in my luggage compartment." "I'll just attach the rope to your Trabant and pull you up to 100 km/h or even a bit more if you like. Just flash your headlights when you've had enough"
(Trabbi driver) "Wow and it's not even my birthday today!"
Ok, they attach the Trabant to the Porsche using the rope and heads for the autobahn.
100 km/h and the Trabant driver enjoys it to the full with his arm placed in the open window looking as cool as he can.
Suddenly a red Ferrari blasts past the 2 while doing more than 200 km/h.
That was just too much for the Porsche driver who completely forgets about the Trabant behind him as he pushes the gas pedal as far as it goes to teach the Ferrari driver a lesson.
Meanwhile at the next gas station the italian attendant Giovanni looks out the window at the cars driving past on the autobahn. Suddenly he screams to his boss (heavy italian accent that I wasn't able to translate); "Boss boss it's crazy out there, first come a red Ferrari doing more than 200 km/h, then close behind him a yellow Porsche and close behind the Porsche a gray Trabant that flashes his headlights like crazy!"
"And you know what boss, the *******s won't let the Trabant overtake!"
