an interesting topic
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
uh-huh
uh the uh i'm very much uh a fan of sports cars
ah boy you and my husband would have a whole lot in common
the uh
yeah the um
uh
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
uh-huh
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
oh really
what's the how old is your car
uh well i have a i have a nineteen eighty five uh eighty five CRX
oh
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
yeah right
oh
yeah so what do the Miatas run
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
well that's not too bad
the uh yeah that's a pretty good price and they're they're they're they're so so nice to drive uh
yeah
really i've never driven one
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
oh
uh yeah about a minute or so and uh very twisty stuff and oh it handles so nicely
uh-huh
and so you've done this oh okay oh
yeah
yeah it was just it it it's just so smooth and yeah nice car
really
what are you interested in
whatever my husband buys
you don't you you don't get involved in uh car decisions
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
yeah i can understand well would you want if you had to decide what would you want
and then
oh i'd want a minivan because i'm with the kids all the time yeah yeah and
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
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
holds a lot
yeah
yeah
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
right
and um that's really all i needed was for something just to go here and there and back
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
uh-huh
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
oh really
oh really
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
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
um-hum
um-hum
um-hum
yeah and they're not that expensive
no they're not
yeah
they probably we probably
mainly because everyone makes them you know you can take your choice of how expensive you want it to be
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
hum
um-hum
so um that was the only time we really needed it other than that it got terrible mileage and
yeah
yeah Minivans do do pretty well
yeah
you know twenty twenty twenty five miles per gallon or more
yeah
some of them probably even do thirty
yeah
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
