"yo me embarco y listo"

What I make of it is not very sensible:

I (would be) to embark and ready

The guy is considering whether to buy a car and thinks he would be primed up and ready to go if he only had a car; going by bus (colectivo) is not the same thing is it?

By the way, would "¡máh!" be best handled as just a noise?

Would this be from a Mafalda cartoon, perhaps?

If this is what I'm thinking of, context is important, and it means something like:

"Aw heck, I'll go for it, and that's that!" (Because buying a car is expensive, and he's not sure that he can afford it).

Mafalda, Yes! So the literal translation is, I'll send myself (go for it) and ready (that's that).That makes a lot of sense; ideal for putting together similar in Argentine idiom, is that so? - pmoss2, Apr 15, 2011
