[speaker001:] so Rick you thinking about buying a new car
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah I am uh a truck
[speaker001:] a truck uh Japanese or American
[speaker002:] yeah I think I'm going to buy American this time
[speaker001:] you you this time you had a you Japanese
[speaker002:] yeah I got a yeah we got a Toyota two of them actually
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] they uh they've always been real good cars but it's just uh
[speaker001:] they rust
[speaker002:] well I actually haven't had any problem with them at all but um I I think it's probably pretty important to uh to buy American I've I'm coming to that conclusion
[speaker001:] you know I it's like I'm I've been driving like foreign cars now for for years and I I'm actually thinking about buying a new car I I
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I'm sitting I'm sitting here right now it's like my with a thousand dollars worth of repairs on my car and uh I'm thinking about buying an American car also
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh yeah
[speaker001:] um I I think they're to the point now where they're just they're just as good as those foreign cars
[speaker002:] I yeah I do too I I think uh I've I've had pickup trucks before and I've had uh Chevrolets and they were pretty good but I I think uh Ford um is is pretty much focusing on quality
[speaker001:] that that's the best uh actually uh a guy that like's in next office he uh he's thinking about buying a truck and he's looking at an F one fifty and uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] he he he one thing that you find about the about the the F one fifties is that uh they are every every the word is out that they are like the best truck uh especially like if you want to get like you know heavier than a mini pick up and uh they weren't cutting too many deals
[speaker002:] is that right yeah um-hum
[speaker001:] with uh with the prices on the F one fifties especially especially like in the in the four wheel drive models
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but uh I I I guess like all these people can't be that wrong you know in terms uh of uh of how they how they are
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I was looking in uh it was uh I I forget the name of the magazine used to be Changing Times sort of like a Consumer Reports magazine
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh they were saying that Ford Ranger was the number one selling truck counting all
[speaker001:] now the Ranger is that the Ranger is below the one fifty it's like a it's like a three quarter ton truck
[speaker002:] yeah um-hum yeah something like I believe something like that
[speaker001:] and was is and the and the F one fifty is a ton and a half or or I'm not sure where they sit
[speaker002:] yeah I'm not sure I I I kind of think I'd like to go with uh something around a a one fifty I don't want a full size but I don't want uh one of those little uh mini trucks either
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] besides I probably would look at something uh maybe a a V six
[speaker001:] yep you geing to get a King Cab
[speaker002:] you know yeah
[speaker001:] yeah that that that know do you have any any kids or anything
[speaker002:] yeah I've got one little girl and and and a set of golf clubs so
[speaker001:] oh there you go yeah you you you you got to have you got to have just that extra space
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah that's it
[speaker001:] it yeah the uh the it's a a buddy of mine he just he just bought a truck and uh and and it was a thing was like it would there was no thought whatsoever about not getting the extra size cab even though you can't really use use that back area for a seat
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know unless you're some like some kind of contortionist
[speaker002:] yeah uh
[speaker001:] but you just need it because you do carry you do carry stuff that you you don't want to like just throw in the bed
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I I kind of like the looks of a short bed but or the short cab but but uh you know like I say just you you just really need the extra space
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] either unless you have some sort of a cab you know cover or something but
[speaker001:] yeah you'd get air-conditioning because you're down there it's pretty hot right
[speaker002:] yeah um-hum
[speaker001:] uh-huh that uh
[speaker002:] although uh I I notice you you you said rust right before that that we don't have that much problem down here but I know y'all have it up there I guess they salt the roads and
[speaker001:] uh oh boy I'll tell you that's like that's the number one car killer up here is that is the is the rust you know it's like you're you're constantly car taking
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker001:] about every other every about every month during the winter you know the smart thing to do is to go to like one of those uh drive in car washes do it yourself and just fire a bunch of water underneath underneath you know up into your rocker panels and stuff
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah yeah
[speaker001:] because uh it just like I said it it just eats the cars like right alive
[speaker002:] yeah I guess I I as as was working with some people from Buffalo here recently or actually it was a couple years ago but they were they were saying you know a lot of people up there they got a winter car and then a summer car you know
[speaker001:] that my neighbor's in the exact same situation situation it's like he uh he has he has two cars one of them is a is a a Mitsubishi you know uh uh I don't know what is a Starion or it's one of those hot cars and uh
[speaker002:] yeah um-hum
[speaker001:] it's like come come November when the roads like start to get you know to get nasty the Starion goes like into the into the garage then he closes it and locks it and then he
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] he throws he he pull he throws a tarp off of this beater that he's got in the backyard
[speaker002:] yeah out comes the sixty eight Nova
[speaker001:] and I think it's a it's actually like a it's like an eighty two no no yeah it's like an eighty two Toyota Corolla you know
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] and this guy goes through this like role you know this revert Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde revert
