- Comments
- Song about the Opel Manta, a sports coupé car built by Opel from 1970 to 1988. In German humour, a "Mantawitz" (Manta joke) is a joke cycle about the "Mantafahrer" (Manta driver), the male driver of an Opel Manta, who is supposedly "an aggressive driver, dull, lower class, macho, and infatuated with both his car and his blonde hairdresser girlfriend".
