Ostalgie

(n.) (Ger) (also 'Ostalgia')

Nostalgia for life in former East Germany; portmanteau of Ost (east) and Nostalgie (nostalgia)

Also applicable to nostalgia for former socialist life in other Eastern European nations.

Arguably more common than 'Yugo-nostalgia'

The life recreated in Good Bye Lenin! is, in part, representative of Ostalgie.

Ostanik lean

The Ostanik lean was originally created at north Marion high school after a f-150 5.4 triton v8 revived a deafening exhaust and a lean at the point that the hitch almost touches the ground. The it revived 28 inch “dubs” and then factory wheels. This vehicle sounds like a raspy gramma coughing but moves like a sloth!

Holy shit that ostanik lean is disgusting
