    Where I live, we get a number of used vehicles imported from Japan, and for a while it was trendy to have English slogans on vehicles.

    They frequently made little sense, I imagine our ones look the same to them.

      You wouldn’t happen to remember any would you? For some reason I love those “Why is a mouse when it spins? The higher the fewer.” type things.

          I was having difficulty understanding my Chinese boss one day, and after the third time I asked in total confusion, “What?” He looked at me and asked, “Why you not understand me, am I no speaking English?” I cracked us both up with my reply of, “No, you’re clearly speaking Chinglish!”

        Not OP but the Toyota MR2 had the following text on the rear window on some units:

        Mature sporty personal

        More innovation more adult

        A man in dandism

        Powered midship specialty

        I’m trying to remember some of them, or find a photo. I can’t remember what model of vehicle they were though.
