Speaker 1
Hi.
Speaker 2
Hello. Are you a snowboarder? I love it, that and cooking.
Speaker 1
I work in a grocery store and love to cook but not snow stuff.
Speaker 2
I am laid off, I worked for cisco. Hopefully, I can still buy a car.
Speaker 1
My 1st car was a ford...get a ford...they last.
Speaker 2
I prefer imports over american.
Speaker 1
Yum! Im from a small town so we grow our food.
Speaker 2
Yum? Do you eat cars or something? Are you a robot?
Speaker 1
Haha no sorry that was when we were talking of food..import cars are high.
Speaker 2
Oh, okay. Yeah. We grow all of our own, even our meat.
Speaker 1
Its the best. I didnt finish collage so I work on the farm sometimes.

Speaker 1
What kind of car are you thinking of getting?
Speaker 2
I wouldn't mind a toyota prius, I have to really start looking though.  Any suggestions ?
Speaker 1
If you don't have much money, I would buy a used car, an used Honda Fit would be economical and spacious. 
Speaker 2
Oh yes!  With me working on my PhD, a used car would be ideal.  Something cheap and economical that will last a few years.  I'll have to look at the Honda Fit.  What kind of car do you have/
Speaker 1
I have an old Ford Edge. It is too big for me. 
Speaker 2
I used to have one of those.  I liked it but yes, I felt like I was driving a tank haha.  Very safe reliable car though.  I was also thinking about a hyundai genesis
Speaker 1
Those are really good but expensive, the kind of car that a university professor would drive. Does your thesis director drive one ?
Speaker 2
I'm not sure what he drives to be honest.  I guess the genesis is out of my price range then.  At least until I graduate and get a job.  So how's your work at the grocery store going?
Speaker 1
It is good but a little boring, I am thinking about producing organic vegetables.
Speaker 2
Oh yes, because you said you work on a farm sometimes.  I think that's a great idea.  Definately marketable!  
Speaker 1
Yeah, but I would need money to buy a farm and equipment. Do you have any idea on how to raise capital ?
Speaker 2
hmm that's a tough one.  I wouldn't even know how you'd go about starting a farm.

Speaker 1
I decided to buy the Honda. Thanks for the suggestion.
Speaker 2
How long did you have your Ford?
Speaker 1
Quite some time! It feels weird having a honda and not a ford but it just made more sense! Have you  thought more about what type of car you're getting?
Speaker 2
I think I want to have a used car. I think that's a good way of getting the hyundai I want. how do you feel about electric cars
Speaker 1
I always think used is the way to go; new cars lose so much value the second they leave the lot. I am all for them! If I didn't live in a tiny town with no charging stations I would've definitely gotten an electric car. Were you thinking about getting one?
Speaker 2
I totally agree! I thought about getting electric because I've been thinking about the environment and the earth lately. I think I might change my major
Speaker 1
I really think you should do it! You can even get used ones, especially hybrids, I've seen more and more popping up for sale. Oh really, to what? 
Speaker 2
I think I'm going to change to Environmental Studies. My professor right now has been a climate lawyer and he's really inspiring me. I hope you enjoy your car by the way! when is it coming?
Speaker 1
That's great! Definitely a noble endeavor ha. Would you have to change universities or would you be able to stay where you are? It should be here this week! I'm pretty excited about not spending so much on gas to get to the farm.
Speaker 2
Can I visit the farm too? I would love to see
Speaker 1
Oh definitely! As long as you're willing to lend a hand! They'll pay you of course. I'm still thinking about starting my own farm. I'd have to start very small at first though.
Speaker 2
OH that's great! I wasn't expecting to be paid

I am thinking about starting a farm. I think new cars lose value faster than used cars. I live in a small town with no electric charging stations. I like electric cars.

I used to have a Ford Edge. I cannot afford a hyundai genesis. I want to buy a used car.  I prefer imported cars. I want a Hyundai. I worry about the environment. I would like to buy an Electric Car. I want to study Environmental Studies. I enjoy farms.
Speaker 1
Are you still trying to decide on whether you are going to buy a hybrid, an electric or a gas car? I know it's a hard decision.
Speaker 2
I actually was doing a little research and I think I'm going to go with an electric car.  My biggest reservations are cost and keeping a charge, but I think those inconveniences are worth helping the environment.
Speaker 1
There are so many factors, aren't there? Like how often you do a long journey where there's a risk of not being able to find a charging station.
Speaker 2
There really are.  I think I will rest easier once I just get one.  Do you think your town might install charging stations anytime soon?
Speaker 1
They keep talking about it but no one seems to be doing anything. It's very frustrating.
Speaker 2
Maybe you can bring it up at the next townhall or something?  I wonder how efficient it might be if farms also embraced electric vehicles.  I bet it would actually be really good and save on time/money.
Speaker 1
I know a few farmers who would agree with you, but none of them want to be the first to take the plunge. Some of them have their own private generators so I guess that would help.
Speaker 2
Maybe you could make friends with a farmer and use his/her generators!  LOL.  Eventually the whole town would see how much sense it makes.  
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'd like to try it. I definitely plan to buy a hybrid next. I've been looking at a Toyota.
Speaker 2
I have read a little bit about those when I was doing my searches.  They are very reliable.  Will a hybrid give you the ability to have it closer to home without the charging stations?
Speaker 1
Yeah, though some people say that the mpg on a hybrid, when you're using it on gas, is not as good as a conventional car. What do you think?
Speaker 2
I think it's just one of those trade-offs.  I am biased because I think anything you can do to use less fossil fuels is worth some of that.  You still would use less gas overall, which is a plus!

I think there is a trade-off between the convenience and lack of fuel efficiency of hybrid cars. I think it is worth it is worth using a hybrid car to use less gas.
Speaker 1
I was talking to my buddy, Frank, about charging stations. He said they've installed them two towns over, so I'm hoping it'll happen here
Speaker 2
That's good. Makes having an electric vehicle a lot more practical if there's an actual infrastructure for using it. I should look into whether there are charging stations here.
Speaker 1
That's a good idea. If there aren't any near you, it might be worth contacting some electric car companies and seeing whether there are plans to install some in the future.
Speaker 2
Yeah, I'm hoping before long there will be a good-sized used market for EVs so I can find one I can afford.
Speaker 1
Yeah, used cars are much better value since cars lose so much value the second they drive off the dealer's lot
Speaker 2
Definitely. That's about all I've ever had. Buy one that's a few years old but still in good shape and reliable, and drive it until it falls apart, then get another good one a few years old.
Speaker 1
Good thinking. How is your PhD program going?
Speaker 2
Not bad. I'm mostly down to just the dissertation now. Since I'm not working outside my home, I really need to get it in gear and take advantage of the free time to finish up.
Speaker 1
I bet it'll be great. I'm looking forward to calling you Doctor, lol. Have you been able to snowboard recently?
Speaker 2
LOL. No, I can't really afford to travel and there's no snow here right now for obvious reasons. Have you looked any further into starting a farm?
Speaker 1
I would love to, but I don't know if I have the time or energy for a full on farm. It's been taking up all my time trying to get the deer away from my tomatoes!
Speaker 2
The critters are a pain. Human or predator urine are both somewhat helpful in deterring deer, groundhogs and the like.
