1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Many of us have thought about doing this, but we haven't.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: It's one more thing.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: I'm strung and getty one more.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 3: So.

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: You don't have the falls, and neither do I and shouldn't.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: But if you've ever had a really crappy car, like not,

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about like you had a car and

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: it was fine, but over ten years of ownership it

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: became crappy. I mean it was crappy from the get go.

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: You got ripped off a lemon if you will, and

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: you were quite angry who sold it to you? Maybe

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: you can relate to this person?

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 4: Then, oh, anybody under the car?

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: It was kind of a very very scary situation. Several

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: hours later he came back and he was very emotional.

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: He said, listen, if you don't give him my money

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: back right now, I'm going to run this car right

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: through the front door.

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: I was just really angry. I was upset about my money.

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: I kind of blacked out for a second.

22
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: You know, I know I probably shouldn't have done it,

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: but I guess I just hit a breaking point.

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: Probably, Well that's a crazy person, is what that is.

25
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: If it was an hour ago, you didn't have time

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: to find out you have a crappy car.

27
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was worried about my money, and I kind

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 2: of blacked out. I expected to hear the guy yelling,

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: listen this thing. I found sand in the transmission, right,

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: you know whatever, But no, just a wacky doodle.

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: Yeah and uh and you could have killed somebody obviously.

32
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 5: So yeah. I don't know if you saw the video

33
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 5: of this, but he went straight through the big pane

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 5: glass windows and into somebody's desk with that car.

35
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, that's oh yeah, that's that's no good. I

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: got ripped off once on a car. Yeah. You remember

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: when I flew to Boise to buy that pickup truck.

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was that turned out bad?

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, like four days it was on the way home,

40
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: the transmission stopped working. Oh really yeah, And I don't

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: know enough about transmissions to know how you would get it,

42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: you know, hair pinned and duct taped together to hold

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: up during test drive. But then it potts like as

44
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: soon as I left the guy's house. But that's what happened. Jeez.

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes I've had vehicles that ran fine until they got

46
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: warmed up when things got hot, and then things went south.

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: So as long as you drove the car when it

48
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: was cold, it seemed like it ran fine. Things got

49
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: all hot, they didn't work so well. What time? My

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: buddy Chris and I, Hey, gladys, can you play the

51
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: hard for this? My buddy Chris and I were going

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: to college in Western Kansas, and we both were I

53
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: think we're nineteen years old. We're freshmen in college. And

54
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: we both had like a thousand bucks and we went

55
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: to Denver to get cars. Neither one of us had

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: a car, and we had a thousand dollars. His sister

57
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: drove us to Denver and dropped us off. We got

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: a cheap rental car. And the only way we're going

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: to get back home is one or both of us

60
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: were going.

61
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: To buy our cars. Wow.

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: And we spent the weekend shopping.

63
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: What year it was?

64
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 6: This?

65
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty four?

66
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 2: Standby, I mean go ahead, you can keep talking. And

67
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: I mean by standby, I mean continue you.

68
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: Talking, Jose, I assume trying to figure out what one

69
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars would be in today's money.

70
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: Precisely, it still wasn't a lot nineteen thirteen, No, nineteen

71
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: eighty two, you said, four eighty four? Okay?

72
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: Sorry?

73
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: The year van Halen's nineteen four album nineteen Charts. It

74
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: was the year after Van Halen's nineteen forty eight album

75
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: I'm trying to type in a talk at the same time,

76
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: and it's going poorly. Okay, here we go. There you go, Jack,

77
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: that would be in today's dollars a three thousand dollars car.

78
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, so that that's helpful, but you know,

79
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: so not disastrous cars, but not a not a great car.

80
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: So we each had the cash in our pocket and

81
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: we went to a whole bunch of crappy car lots

82
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: because when you're buying it, when that's your your limit,

83
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: you can't go to very nice car lots, right, I mean,

84
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: most car lots don't have a car that cheap anywhere

85
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: on the lot. So we're going to what they call potlot.

86
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: It's the places that are gravel, you know, and got

87
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: a puddle over there, and they got kind of like

88
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: a mobile home for where you go in and fill

89
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: up the paperwork. Charming.

90
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, those kind of places.

91
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: And I've bought quite a few cars at places like that,

92
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: and they're sketch af But we each bought Baja Bugs,

93
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: which was very childish of us, and The only people

94
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: that thought that was cool was ten year old boys.

95
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: Girls certainly didn't think so. But we each bought these

96
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: old Volkswagens on the way home. Driving on the way home,

97
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: similar to your situation. His his broke down. We didn't

98
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: even make it home, like two hundred miles and his

99
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: broke down. Mine soldiered on and ran for years. Actually,

100
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: but man, you buy a car and you don't even

101
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: make it home, that makes you mad. That will make

102
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: you mad.

103
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I say, all right, hang out, go ahead, Katie.

Speaker 7: in certain auctions. Barrett Jackson auctions. Have you ever heard

162
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 7: of him? I guess they're bringing back eighties cars.

163
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh yeah. My son's really into a lot of

164
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: cars that that. He's like, oh, that's a cool car, Dad,

165
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: And I said, wow, really I remember that car. You

166
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: could go to that for two thousand dollars. But they

167
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: got popular for a variety of reasons, you know, the

168
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: way things just get popular.

169
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that whole you know, life span of whether it's

170
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 2: a band or a car or a dance craze or whatever.

171
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: That it's it's super hip, then it's new ish, then

172
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: it's established, then it's kind of tired, then it's old

173
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: and mocked, and then the nostalgias starts. What is that

174
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: twelve there's some sort of twelve year rulers. I can't remember,

175
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: but yeah, and then all of a sudden it's the

176
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: hottest thing.

177
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Definitely happens with cars. I got a whole bunch of

178
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: crappy cars I wish I would have kept because they'd

179
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: have been they'd be worth something now, or they certainly

180
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: would be cool now they were not at the time.

181
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: This one takes American made fuel. It's only nine hundred dollars.

182
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 5: You know what, Looking at cheap cars online is comical.

183
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: Right.

184
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 5: For thirty eight hundred dollars, you can get a two

185
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 5: thousand and five Hondai Ailantra with one hundred and fifty

Speaker 5: thousand miles, has no punch lights and only three tires.

187
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I am. I am not to

188
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: the place yet my life where I can even like

189
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: joke about that. I spent too many years driving crappy cars,

190
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: and the only thing I ever wanted was to make

191
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: enough money that I could have a car that when

192
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: I walked out in the morning, I knew it was

193
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: gonna start. I thought that that was just my dream

194
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: in life, to know I could walk out there and

195
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: be almost certain that when I turned the key it

196
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: would start.

197
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: Because s was luxury in your head all the time.

198
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: Oh, definitely, because every day of is it going to

199
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: start today? And then everything that goes with if it

200
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: doesn't start, how you get to work, how you're gonna

201
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: get it somewhere, how you're gonna pay for it? Oh

202
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: my god, that's the worst.

203
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 5: My mom always talks about her seventy five bug that

204
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 5: she had to park on a on a hill facing downhill,

205
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 5: and she'd have to pop the clutch to get it

206
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 5: rolling in order for it to start.

207
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: No starter.

208
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good thing here in the Bay Area,

209
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: in the Central Valley.

210
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: Right, I had many motorcycles like that. I'd have to

211
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: run and then hop on the seat and pop the clutch.

212
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: Oh did you get all sweaty?

213
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: Wow?

214
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: Well, what are you gonna do? I'll be back there

215
00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: again soon enough. I'm sure.

216
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: I was hanging out at the strip mall wherever it

217
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: was the other day and a guy passed me rolled

218
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: by and I'm not like a car guy exactly, so

219
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it was an early seventies like Impalla.

220
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 2: It was one of those cars that's like sixty five

221
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: feet long. I mean, just a ridiculously long hood and

222
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: trunk Tudor. But you know, it took like five minutes

223
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: for the thing to roll by me, and it was

224
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: just magnificent. Yeah. Is that because it's just the car

225
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: that I admired when I was, you know whatever, seven

226
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: years old.

227
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got to do with your age, because I

228
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: go to a lot of car shows with Sam because

229
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: he is a car guy and who loves him. And

230
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, all the cars were fifties cars,

231
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, fifty seven Chevy or whatever like that, because

232
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: the old guys there, that was the car that was

233
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: hot when they was in high school. They were in

234
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: high school. Now you see the occasional one of those,

235
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: but that's not what Guinneabody gathers around. They gather around

236
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty you know, Pontiac Firebird because that's the

237
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: car they had when they were in high school. It

238
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: has to do with what you had when you're in

239
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: you're not a car guy. You know who is a

240
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: car guy. Mike Canton, our executive producer Hansen joined.

241
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: Them just you know, Joe, every kid, every high school

242
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 4: kid should appreciate and enjoy ownership of a land yacht,

243
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: one of those big cars. And I had one and

244
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: it was it was actually a proud moment for me

245
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 4: because I bought it from a Junkyard. My nineteen seventy

246
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: one buhicless saber bought from a Junkyard for two hundred dollars.

247
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: It was awesome. The heater had a quality heater up.

248
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: I'm adjusting for inflation that two hundred dollars would be

249
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: two hundred and four dollars to that.

250
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: I could.

251
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: I could fit six guys in that car, I'm sure.

252
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: Plus load up the trunk with a lot of beer

253
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: before basketball games. We had a great time, heater beer awesome,

254
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: had a great time, no doubt. Someone plowed into that

255
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: car in the middle of winter on my street, and

256
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: I think I know who it was. Troy.

257
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: I'll hold that against you for the rest of your life. Troy.

258
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: Wow, damn Troy. Anyway, this may be illegue.

259
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: He went last name.

260
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 4: I'm serious about it. Never revealed that ever, So my

261
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: whole life, I've never had a chance to call him out. Okay,

262
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: I've been wanting to do this for the past thirty years.

263
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: Wow. If anybody else would like to level a half

264
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: assization for a decade's old incident, to call us and

265
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: we'll put you on the air. I want to call

266
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: out my uncle right now.

267
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: So then I sold the car to a guy for

268
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: two hundred dollars. He drove it for the summer. Then

269
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 4: I bought the car back from him that fall for

270
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty bucks. And I drove it again

271
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: for another winter. It was fantastic that a.

272
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Box on the God, now you broke even, all right.

273
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: That is the one thing with the cheap cars, because

274
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: I've done that a few times. You buy him for

275
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: something and then you sell them for the same amount

276
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: because they just bought them out, that's what they were worth.

277
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, boy, my old buddy Scott, God rest his soul,

278
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: had this gigantic since in nineteen seventy, probably eight. I

279
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: don't know Impalla, but it was one of those giant

280
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: land yachts. It was crappy when he owned it, and old.

281
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: But you know, the old complaint used to be cars

282
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: are too small, they have sex in the back seat anymore. Well,

283
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: Scott's racing and Palla. You could have one couple in

284
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: the front seat and one in the back seat and

285
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: they wouldn't be aware of each other.

286
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 6: Right.

287
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: It was so freaking big. We could put so many

288
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: people in that car and in the trunk, Hansen to

289
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: your point, I mean, never mind beer, you could you

290
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: could like put one of those the tiny houses in

291
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: the trunk. It was so ginormous.

292
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: I learned to drive in our station wagon that was

293
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know how I learned to drive

294
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: as a five foot two fourteen year old. But uh,

295
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: you couldn't see anything but hood. There's just hood, giant

296
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: hood turning the giant hood everywhere I go. Those cars

297
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: are so long too. Learning to parallel park a twenty

298
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: foot car, I don't even know what that is.

299
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: Makes you good? Who knows how many people you ran down?

300
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: And we're totally unaware of it, right? Maybe Old Troy

301
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: as somebody who had it coming. Huh.

302
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 7: My parents bought a station wagon true story. They didn't

303
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 7: realize that the windows didn't roll down in the back

304
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 7: until when their kids got car sick, and that's how

305
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 7: they found out. Well, I guess that's it.

306
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Rolled down the window. I can't barf card
