[speaker001:] so what did you have done to your car last
[speaker002:] well just fact just recently we're waiting to get it fixed right now it's uh my wife one day when it was kind of a windy day she opened the door and it kind of blew it all the way back kind of bent it back up against the front bumper there and so we're trying it it uh broke the uh the hinge that holds the door on onto the car
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and so it has to be rewelded and everything so uh we're waiting to get that repaired you know repaired and they have to weld it and touch up some of the paint and everything
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh as for maintenance and stuff that I do I I I kind of don't don't do any my on on my own I other than waxing the car and kleeping it clean but usually I go to like Jiffy Lube and have them do the uh the oil change and the lubrication and such
[speaker001:] yeah that's really dirty work isn't it
[speaker002:] yeah how about you
[speaker001:] oh I'm a single woman so I have most of mine done and I my car died this year and I went down and priced the new cars and there was no way I could afford a new car
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh did it right
[speaker001:] so I just I went and had mine rebuilt I had a rebuilt engine put in it and the week after that the transmission went out so I had to put a transmission transmission in it
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] but it's running pretty good now after I had all that done
[speaker002:] gosh what kind is it
[speaker001:] it's a Lincoln
[speaker002:] um ours is a uh Voyager Plymouth Voyager
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] so and I really like that but that's about it I mean I don't do I used to I used to have a uh when I was single and I had a a uh Mustang a fast you know an old Mustang sixty five I used to do everything a lot of things you know I'll do all the oil changes and the tune-ups and
[speaker001:] yeah  uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh you know making it fast and putting carburetors and everything like that on it and uh I used to do all that but since since then really no since I got married actually and just find it easier to go to one of these uh you know fast places like Jiffy Lube or someplace like that
[speaker001:] is it that you don't have the time to work on it like you'd like to or you're just tired of it after doing it for so many years
[speaker002:] yeah that's that's pretty much no it's actually it's more like I don't have the time you know because we also have two kids too and so then I you know I just
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] trying to find time for them and then try to do the car too I just you know and the house and the yard and you know everything else so
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so usually I just uh try to make it as convenient as possible and go to one of those kind of places
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] but
[speaker001:] well being a single person I can't afford much so I take mine to KMart and get the oil changed on it and I get
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and I can get by pretty cheap on that and then I have a
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] friend that puts my plugs in it when I need new spark plugs and so he does that for me and that's that helps me a lot
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh good
[speaker001:] good deal
[speaker002:] so well I guess that's about it huh
[speaker001:] yeah I need new I'm putting new tires on it now so yeah
[speaker002:] oh are you oh yeah we did that too in fact that was that was the one right before this is uh we had to get some new tires in the back evidently one of the uh the right rear tire had one of the weights fall off it or something
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] and so consequently got a some kind of bubble in what they call out of round or something
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and so you can hear it when you sit in the back you know the thump thump thump thump thump thump and so we had to get a new one
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] so that was a recent one too
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and tires aren't cheap
[speaker001:] well car car that's a car is never ending
[speaker002:] yeah yeah right
[speaker001:] you
[speaker002:] it's always something that's true
[speaker001:] that's right
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and uh I tell my friend uh when my when I have car troubles he says well you just you have to remember it's just a machine and it's not going to last forever
[speaker002:] that's right
[speaker001:] I say well I want it to
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I want it to last forever I put I put uh two thousand dollars in it and I want it to last
[speaker002:] yeah you're right
[speaker001:] at least a little while least another year
[speaker002:] yeah yep well that's about all I have for stories on the car
[speaker001:] yeah me too well what well how old are your kids
[speaker002:] uh one's four and the other one's one
[speaker001:] oh well they're just little bitty kids
[speaker002:] yeah so they take up a lot of time
[speaker001:] really they do when they're little like that
[speaker002:] uh sure do
[speaker001:] and are they a boy and a girl or
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
