I've had this experience with rental cars recently. It's terrifying! I usually spend half an hour in the parking lot sifting through menus turning off all the warnings I can find.
I like Skodas. Although a Czech friend told me that Skoda in Czech is a car name, a common surname, and a casual term for "idiot".
- strzibny 5y agoThe translation is not idiot, but misfortune, damage or pity (Schade for German friends). Funny name for sure.
- noduerme 5y agoHah. Noted - my friend's English is not the best, but I think his example was like a someone tripping over something in the street. He physically performed something, and I guess I misunderstood! Ah sorry for butchering another language ;) It reminds me of one time I was sitting in a bar in Spain, and a chicken walked inside. And it was a female chicken, not a rooster, so I thought it should be "polla" instead of "pollo". So I waved at the bartender and said "Mira! Está una polla en la barra!" and all the guys in the bar started roaring with laughter because "pollo" is male or female for any chicken, but "polla" in Spain does mean slang for "idiot". After that every time I'd walk into that bar they'd ask if I saw a "polla" hahahahah
- dagw 5y agoI love my 2014 Skoda. It is the most boring car I have ever owned. It just does exactly what I want every time without fail and is never 'surprising' or 'interesting' or 'fun'.
