Здравствуйте. Помогите, пожалуйста, правильно перевести данное выражение. Вот это место в ролике (осторожно - по ссылке присутствуют маты): https://youtu.be/P_SpHcHL6Xs?t=1m4s

Диалог активиста и водителя после того, как была наклеена наклейка на его машину:

- Откуда я знаю, что вы показывали? Можно было опустить стекло и сказать.

- Оно не опускается! Машина такая!

- Это не машина такая, это люди такие.
