There's a song by Atheist Rap, a Serbian punk rock band, who sings about the band happily touring around Vojvodina villages in a "Blue Trabant", until one night they left it parked near a pigsty which resulted in Trabant being eaten by pigs - a reference to it being plastic. Luckily, they managed to convert an engine into a power saw for sawing firewood.

The track was quite popular so they made another one about Wartburg.

I first heard of these cars in a story from a Croatian friend. He said they had to be careful where they parked them because pigs would like to eat the body. So it seems that it’s a real thing.
That's just an urban legend/joke. Trabant wasn't common in Yugoslavia.
