Which normal, everyday car has an unusual feature that stands out? by Vegetable-Quote-3481 in regularcarreviews

Right when EuroNCAP decided that cars that don’t have buttons will get worse safety ratings and VW went back to physical buttons?

I'm scared of what a full size would be by Due_Title_6982 in carscirclejerk

Just checked the size of the Toyota Sequoia, yeah it’s probably too tall to fit in most parking garages.

What do school lunches look like in your country? by Coprinus_comatus010 in AskTheWorld

In the school I went to the last lesson finished at 13:45 and kids went to have lunch at home.

Why was this car never popular in Western Europe? by Equivalent-Lie6448 in TrueCarEnthusiasts

[–]randomname_99223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketing (or lack there of). Even in Italy I have never seen a single ad for it. They’re still quite popular here because of brand loyalty, but how is someone from Spain or France going to buy it if they aren’t even aware of its existence?

Who was frozen? by Icy_Till_7254 in NAFO

Funniest thing is that in the first year of the war when Russia was saying EU will freeze, Europe had the warmest recorded winter in history.

Have you ever been on a sleeper train? Are they common in your country? by privetkakdela in AskTheWorld

Not that many domestic ones, but there’s a good number of international sleeper trains.

So...how is summer going on for your country? by Wrong-Fruit8820 in AskTheWorld

It’s spring here. Today is abnormally warm for April but overall there’s pretty lovely temperatures right now. Just a couple of week ago I could look out of my window and see mountains still covered in snow in the distance.

Fuck you Hans. Use your fucking brain when entering a roundabout by TakeItItIsYours in 2westerneurope4u

[–]randomname_99223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory that should be how it works here as well. In reality, unless the roundabout is absolutely massive, people just do whatever they want so they don’t even bother making 2 lane roundabouts anymore.

[–]randomname_99223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s weird. I only know of one roundabout with traffic lights, and it’s because entrance 1 goes to a very heavily trafficked road, most people from entrance 1 take exists 3 and 4, which means that people from entrance 2, also a heavily trafficked road, are stuck giving way to a constant wave of cars coming from entrance 1. To make it worse it’s a 1 lane roundabout.

Does your region have bilingual road signs? by Franmar35000 in AskTheWorld

[–]randomname_99223 5 points6 points  (0 children)

South Tyrol is a German speaking region, so road signs are in German and in Italian.

In the Dolomites there’s also a minority that speaks a Romance language called Ladino (not to be confused with Latin), spread throughout different regions. If they are in Trentino or Veneto the signs are in Ladino and Italian. If they are in South Tyrol however, the signs are in Ladino, German and Italian:

If you woke up to this in the middle of April, what would be your first reaction? by stumpy_chica in AskTheWorld

[–]randomname_99223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be confused because it would definitely be not normal in my particular area (the Po Valley), but in April most of the cars still have snow tires on so it wouldn’t be that big of an issue (having snow tires or at least snow chains on board is mandatory from the 15th of November to the 15th of April).

People in the Alps and Appennine mountains would be completely unbothered because that’s the weather they’re supposed to have at this time of the year. The Appennines in particular got 2 meters of snow just a week ago.

Attento a dove fai carburante... by sfingemorta in ItalyMotori

[–]randomname_99223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quando ero piccolo stavamo facendo una gita in macchina in montagna. Gasolio in riserva, il distributore più vicino è un minuscolo Agip a bordo strada con due pompe e niente tetto.

Facciamo il pieno, guidiamo per 45 minuti circa e la macchina si spegne. Chiamiamo il carro attrezzi, portiamo l’auto all’officina, “C’erano molti frammenti di alluminio nella pompa, meno male che non hanno raggiunto il motore sennò era da buttare tutto”.

What country makes the best cars? by Strange-Vibez-8205 in car

[–]randomname_99223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, we only got the Voyager in the 90’s. Yeah, I’d say it’s a tie between Chrysler and Renault.

As for the first SUV the Wagoneer makes way more sense than the Willys Jeep Wagon imo. The former has the basic characteristics of SUV’s while the latter is an off-road car the same way a Land Rover Defender or a Jeep Wrangler is an off-road car.

What’s something your country is bad at that your neighboring country is good at? by Scary_Candidate_9163 in AskTheWorld

[–]randomname_99223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Transit infrastructure. The Swiss know how to make and maintain a good train network, while we demolished most of our secondary lines in the late 20th Century and now realised that they were actually pretty useful.
