“It’s a domino effect — if one thing is really off, it’s all off.” Ms. Cohen said
That sounds like a twist on theory from the cold war, but it's true when combining a General Motors product with East Germany's icon of inefficiency and bureauocracy. {I won't go for the easy snark that line just set up.}
TAMARA WARREN wrote a piece for the New York Times of what Liz Cohen is up to in Detroit and I thought we could use an auto article on this blog.
Liz Cohen, an artist in Detroit, is building an El Camino out of a Trabant. [Tamara Warren for The New York Times]Ms. Cohen’s pairing of the Trabant, the only car within reach of many people in the former East Germany, with the 1973 El Camino lowrider offers a juxtaposition of American immigrant cultures that makes for a curious mechanical tale of East meets West.
