Answer:

The implicit meaning in the satire is that she's poking gentle fun at herself for integrating into American culture of vehicles and television

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete the excerpt of reference is missing, this is the excerpt:

Read this excerpt from "A 400-Year-Old Woman" in The Writer and Her Work by Bharati Mukherjee and answer the question. Yet my imaginative home is also in the tales told by my mother and grandmother... For all the hope and energy I have placed in the process of immigration and accommodation – I’m a person who couldn’t ride a public bus when she first arrived, and now I’m someone who watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels – there are parts of me that remain Indian.

This excerpt uses satire - a literary device that writers use to criticize the foolish acts of the characters or the whole society - as the narrator criticizes herself for becoming familiar with the American way of life, by comparing her old self with her new self she humorously makes fun of the new habits she has got that are not Indian at all.
