[speaker001:] an interesting topic
[speaker002:] yes the uh type of cars that I was uh uh I would probably be most interested in if I was going to buy another car now would probably be something like a uh Mazda Miata
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh the uh I'm very much uh a fan of sports cars
[speaker001:] ah boy you and my husband would have a whole lot in common
[speaker002:] the uh yeah the um
[speaker001:] uh
[speaker002:] though actually in some actually if I have I have avoided I've avoided buying a new car for quite some time I'd rather put my money into restoring my old cars I have a old Triumph TR Six
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh uh so uh but if I was to buy one probably something like a Miata it's certainly it I wouldn't have to worry about it breaking down all the time yeah
[speaker001:] oh really what's the how old is your car
[speaker002:] uh well I have a I have a nineteen eighty five uh eighty five CRX
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] uh which is you know it's it still works fine but it's it's actually it's kind of annoying cause I've got no reason to to replace it but uh
[speaker001:] yeah right  oh yeah so what do the Miatas run
[speaker002:] oh those are they're about uh uh thirteen to fourteen thousand dollars and you know a bit more if you add some some options and so on but
[speaker001:] well that's not too bad
[speaker002:] the uh yeah that's a pretty good price and they're they're they're they're so so nice to drive uh
[speaker001:] yeah really I've never driven one
[speaker002:] uh it's it's it's nice they're uh I've been down to a dealer and driven them and I've also driven one at a something Mazda put on where uh they went to uh auto cross events across the country uh which is where you race in uh you you race on in a parking lot or something like that with a bunch of uh cones to see who can get through them fastest
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] uh yeah about a minute or so and uh very twisty stuff and oh it handles so nicely
[speaker001:] uh-huh and so you've done this oh okay oh
[speaker002:] yeah yeah it was just it it it's just so smooth and yeah nice car
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] what are you interested in
[speaker001:] whatever my husband buys
[speaker002:] you don't you you don't get involved in uh car decisions
[speaker001:] oh not too much no we um we just got rid of a full conversion van that that I I it that wasn't me that was my husband he wanted the van and he wanted to drive that van and travel and wanted everything in there T V you know the whole bit but I never drove it so it just it wasn't me you know
[speaker002:] yeah I can understand well would you want if you had to decide what would you want
[speaker001:] and then oh I'd want a minivan because I'm with the kids all the time yeah yeah and
[speaker002:] okay yeah they're nice oh yeah that's perfect for that it's not it it's small enough that it's easy to drive
[speaker001:] yeah you pick up I pick up my little one from preschool and the whole parking lot's full of minivans but you know I I drive a little Subaru
[speaker002:] holds a lot yeah yeah
[speaker001:] and uh we I love that uh we were going to trade that in for the van but I just wanted to hold on to that because I just really enjoy that
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and um that's really all I needed was for something just to go here and there and back
[speaker002:] yeah uh minivans are nice I have a friend who has a minivan and uh I've driven it a few times and uh it's nice it's nice of course
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] you know my family my family has always had cars like that uh in that yeah my father has had a had a always had a VW bus every since uh nineteen about nineteen sixty or so
[speaker001:] oh really oh really
[speaker002:] uh I they he he uses he often has to transport plants or uh things like that cause he's he goes to orchid shows and and you know fills fills the car with plants and so on or
[speaker001:] yeah yeah it's amazing what a minivan can do we went camping this past weekend with some friends that had a minivan and pulled uh um the little trailer behind the pop up trailer and uh it's so it's really amazing how much a minivan can can you know what it can do
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum um-hum yeah and they're not that expensive
[speaker001:] no they're not
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] they probably we probably
[speaker002:] mainly because everyone makes them you know you can take your choice of how expensive you want it to be
[speaker001:] yeah yeah and we we do a lot of um driving we do a lot of traveling by car and so that's the only time that the that the uh conversion van came in handy but it really didn't cause our our kids are still little
[speaker002:] hum um-hum
[speaker001:] so um that was the only time we really needed it other than that it got terrible mileage and
[speaker002:] yeah yeah Minivans do do pretty well
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] you know twenty twenty twenty five miles per gallon or more
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] some of them probably even do thirty
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] the uh yeah there there's some other cars I'd like but I uh uh I would never be willing to spend quite that much money for uh like uh uh I'll drool over them
