[speaker001:] okay now then you heard the question what what do you like to do for yourself in car automobile repairs
[speaker002:] um-hum  well I'll tell you I used to do a lot more repairs when cars were easy to work on than I do now
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] I do uh I do the easy stuff now I I change oil uh and then what some people would consider a little more difficult I I'll change spark plugs and
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] I'll change you know points and you you know the air filters that kind of stuff
[speaker001:] well
[speaker002:] but uh I can't do as much as I used to um I used to do a whole lot more but not anymore they're just too weird to work on now
[speaker001:] is that the reason you're not doing it or are you so busy you don't have time to do it
[speaker002:] well that's part of it yeah part of it is like you said I don't have time
[speaker001:] hm well okay well being a female and being alone you I don't do anything but put gasoline in my car and let someone else check the oil even but um have you had any major repairs recently
[speaker002:] um-hum well um on this car I've got now no but I had a van before and it was only two years old and it had transmission go out on it
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] but fortunately that was covered under the warranty
[speaker001:] okay well you should be very feel very fortunate I had um have a transmission replaced in an eighty six automobile and I'll declare that's an expensive
[speaker002:] hm oh yeah
[speaker001:] yes um-hum maybe I should have just traded the car in
[speaker002:] yeah sometimes it makes me wonder
[speaker001:] oh it just well I have a very comfortable car and I
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] have a health problem that I need a large comfortable car so um anyway I have a new transmission and I'm sure that any of them would have
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] cost almost or charged me almost the same amount but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] it hurts it hurts real bad
[speaker002:] did you take it to a dealership
[speaker001:] no I took it to an independent out in Garland
[speaker002:] um-hum oh I see
[speaker001:] I had um these people were recommended by a neighbor
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and you know that's the only thing I am not a native of Dallas
[speaker002:] oh I see
[speaker001:] so that means I have to depend on on trustworthy friends
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and that's anyway it's fixed it's running and I pray that I get my thirteen hundred dollars out of it um um-hum
[speaker002:] oh gosh it's gonna have to run for a little for a while yet
[speaker001:] oh I know it uh-huh it certainly is frightening what work are you in
[speaker002:] uh I I work for TI I I work in the networking area
[speaker001:] oh okay okay
[speaker002:] do you work for TI no okay
[speaker001:] no no I have just retired from um the Southwest Medical Center
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] yeah where there are a lot of people down there that could help me with my car but they're all too busy so
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I have to do it the other way and that's find someone and pay them to do it
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] so I certainly hope you have a nice New Year
[speaker002:] oh yeah I'm I'm planning on it oh it can't be any worse than last year that's for sure
[speaker001:] oh it could be but I don't much think so I'm well we're starting out a new one so let's make it a good one
[speaker002:] yeah that's true that's true yeah I'm gonna try and plan on it
