okay what did you buy okay a Ford Explorer a a Ford Explorer i'm sorry what oh really yeah one of the new ones yeah and um i'd i'd probably buy another this is the first American vehicle i've owned so i would probably purchase another one uh-huh um i would be more selective in the dealership that i purchased it from but as far as uh the quality seems to be there um it's quiet it's it handles well um yeah but i believe i'd get that or a Porsche one of the two oh really no not um if i had the money i think i would love to own a a BMW and why would that be i don't know i from what or either that or Mercedes just because they're put together so well it seems like they last forever what's wrong with the Volvo oh i don't know they're they're not as nice looking oh oh uh meant to me i don't know i'm sure there are some that are but everyone i've seen is kind of plain but what what what city are you calling from Sherman oh where're you i'm Dallas um Dallas yeah BMW or Mercedes yeah well that's uh that's um if i had money um had the money i mean that's just i know i never would own one but uh i don't know i like my actual favorite cars is were uh like the Ford Thunderbirds of nineteen eighty five i really like that style body style um-hum but i don't own one of those neither what do you presently drive um Mercury Topaz um fun cheap taste cheap taste in cars okay well there nothing wrong with those uh yeah they're all right it's it's a good car i mean i've never had any problem with it they're they're nice vehicles they're nice vehicles nothing wrong with those it um it's just everybody has their own taste but man the Mercedes are expensive my wife has a Volvo and it it's nice i mean you know it's okay an sorry i roped on Volvos then huh sorry i roped on Volvos then oh no no no no no no no it it i i kind of wish we would have maybe gone for the GL rather than the DL but because they it is the safest car on the road um oh yeah oh is it see i don't much about them i guess yeah they're the safest that's the reason why we mainly got it we got white and it's the safest four door and it's good for if you have a family which we do we just we just dominated everyone out and so it's it's uh um yeah you know they're kind of low to the ground after driving the Explorer you know i presently i used to have a two eighty Z and i'm a tall guy and and uh they're hard to get around in traffic to see because you can't see a car ahead of you but they're fast as lightning and all that crap but the Explorer i mean you're sitting up on top of everything and you can really see real well and i just it's it's so comfortable and really uh-huh and uh so you're what are your feelings about American versus European cars um i like anything besides Japanese course everything has Japanese parts in them anymore i don't like Japanese cars but uh why not European i don't have have any i mean those are the kind i usually end up liking the most American cars a lot of people say they they don't last long but i've never had any problem with um my Mercury or my Cougar my husband has a uh Cougar and he's never had any problem with it either so i don't know that's the way it goes i guess well what are your i guess this is your first time to buy American so yeah i was real hesitant but it was yeah i don't know uh i mean i think European cars are great course you've got to have metric wrenches and stuff and they're easy some some of them are easy to work on a Volvo being a four cylinder is very easy to work on uh excellent warranty i mean just unbelievable warranty really and and uh course Ford isn't too bad i think Chrysler would probably make a good vehicle uh but all of it has to do in my opinion with the service and the attitude of the service of the dealership yeah yeah i wouldn't send my dog to buy a car from Middlekauff Ford there's Middlekauff Ford in Plano where okay their just their attitude is just slimy and and uh i've written a a letter to Middlekauff and i've told them that matter of fact i got another letter last night from the Quality Ford Division they're still concerned about my attitude and it it will never change about that place and uh but uh anyway that's my own personal comment i guess but yeah this girl that works for me just bought a car down there and she they they had a problem with they uh took their Camaro in to get it traded and they they hadn't signed any papers and they had all ready uh taken it in to paint it and everything and everything was stolen out of it and the people um wouldn't reimburse reimburse them for anything Middlekauff wouldn't she needs to find herself a lawyer she'd she'd come out like a champ on that one yeah so i've heard some stuff about them but um so have have you been using well anyway what that was i was asking you some questions about the telephone and how long and how many have you been doing but that's they they don't want to hear that but oh just just about a week is that all a week yeah yeah good Lord i think i started in January or February oh God i've i'm like twenty some phone calls so really oh wow that's why i i wasn't sure if this was the second time around or what well look i've enjoyed speaking with you yeah you too and keep smiling okay thanks bye bye bye
