Default This is stupid, but had to share

I'm driving up to my job today and i'm next to an old asian lady in a very nice Acura TL. It was blinged out with tint and wheels. I can see her checking out my car, but i'm just cruising along. We get to a stoplight and she pulls beside me and rolls down her window. I roll mine down and expect the usual "nice ride, is it fast?"

Well, the lady can't speak english, but she keeps drawing the outline of the DRL with her finger and then giving me the OK sign! She points to the front of my car, draws the outline of the LED like 3 times while she's talking to me in asian. I just sat there not knowing what the hell to say, so I just said thanks and gave her a thumbs up. She is grinning from ear to ear and asking me questions that I cannot understand. She was all fired up. I jusy kept nodding yes and giving her a thumbs up back.

This car is so damn amazing and gets the attention of people you would never expect. That made my day...

I would have outlined the letters USA. lol.
And before you all FLAME me I love immigrants, but there's a trend where people move here and don't even bother to learn the language.
Think Tower of Babel. It's not good for anyone, least of all the immigrant.

Agreed. LOL. I actually was laughing out loud.
I recall as a kid, I was driving my bicycle around and some Chinese woman pulled up next to me in her car asking me for directions in Chinese.
Why she thought that was going to work I don't know.

SO, I completely could see what was happening with you.

Keep it up.

Default Asian IS a language!

When I was growing up, learning Asian and American was tough!

Funny story though.
