It was. Born in CT, and his parents moved to Brazil when he was little. Being the social butterfly she was, his mother had nannies. And cooks, and housekeepers, all of whom did not speak English. The parents were away a lot, like all the time, so he didn't hear any either in daily life.

When they moved back to the USA he was old enough to start grade one, but by that time English was beyond him.

 

There's some portugoose blood in my family. (The Hong Kong-Macau connection)...

So, after I struck a deal with the other Lexus dealer. The sales woman and I discovered that we know each other in passing. From the same neighborhood, have several mutual friends, to include an ex-gf. I think I'm gonna have a car connection again for the next few years. 

She just found the car that I want. But my old car is overdue already lol

What's that gotta do with your store if she reversed the terminals? 

She didnt. We did. We install batteries after we sell them.

 

Regardless she apologized twice for being a jerk.

The car dealer asked me to email my Lexus' registration to them so they can  fill out paper work for the plate transfer.

So, I go to the car, get the regi, take a pic of it, and emailed it. 

She calls me up and tells me that I sent a Regi for a Honda. 

I look at the pic, and it's the regi for my Honda. 

So, I go back out to the Lexus, every regi in there is for a Honda. 

OK no problem right? I'll just take a pic of the window sticker for them. 

(NY has window stickers )

The window sticker on the Lexus, is for my Honda! 

So now I go look at my Honda. It's a Lexus! lol 

I been driving around with the wrong window stickers on those 2 cars for who knows how long. 

Here's the tricky part. 

How to meticulously scrape off the Honda sticker from the Lexus, and put it back on the Honda.....
