Need to use a better translator (or my spanish is very rusty)

translate this :
il se passe beaucoup de chose en un jour ,imaginez ce qui peut se passer en trois mois.

Perhaps the outcome will be better :)
Anyway the ad show poor taste IMO.

my attempt at translating this in English :

A lot can happen in one day.
Imagine what can happen in 3 month.

I was translating it myself, based on two years of spanish class in '79/80 and living in Texas (hearing it a lot). I read it as the specific 'you' and not the generic 'it'. You may be right, and that does tone down my disgust quite a bit. Thanks for clarifying.
