I just got a note that my car is scheduled to arrive at Port of Houston on... Cinco de Mayo!

Should I be worried? And it feels like there's an Arrested Development reference trying to claw its way out of this post.

Congratulations you will be celebrating cinco de mayo with your new car partying like a mexican, when Mexicans actually don't celebrate that made up "holiday"

estoy confundido. en el primer mensage, dice "cinco de cuatro" no cinco de mayo.¿es un chiste??

Gracias, pero tengo que admitir que el uso de un traductor en línea. Mi francés es un poco mejor que mi español limitado.

And I can tell it is an online tool because the Spanish is too formal, nothing you would use in a forum.
I hope my English doesn't read/sound too formal

According to google is an arrested development episode
I have never seen that TV show though
But there is a Quattro de Mayo Audi driving event

thanks. did my med school training in mexico and learned a lot about Mexican history. my TV viewing is limited though have heard of the tv show.

It is sad how so called"mexicans" born in the US (they don't speak Spanish and some of them have never been in Mexico BUT they are mexicans) cherish that made up holiday like it is our 4th of July.
It was a battle Mexico won against the French, that's it, important yes, our Independence Day?not at all.

For those interested (I know Snagitsiete will read it for sure)
