WEBVTT - Many Of Us Have Thought Of Doing This...

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Many of us have thought about doing this, but we haven't.

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>It's one more thing.

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm strung and getty one more.

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 3>So.

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 2>You don't have the falls, and neither do I and shouldn't.

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>But if you've ever had a really crappy car, like not,

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about like you had a car and

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>it was fine, but over ten years of ownership it

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>became crappy. I mean it was crappy from the get go.

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>You got ripped off a lemon if you will, and

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>you were quite angry who sold it to you? Maybe

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you can relate to this person?

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 4>Then, oh, anybody under the car?

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no.

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 3>It was kind of a very very scary situation. Several

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 3>hours later he came back and he was very emotional.

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 3>He said, listen, if you don't give him my money

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 3>back right now, I'm going to run this car right

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 3>through the front door.

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I was just really angry. I was upset about my money.

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I kind of blacked out for a second.

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, I know I probably shouldn't have done it,

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 3>but I guess I just hit a breaking point.

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Probably, Well that's a crazy person, is what that is.

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>If it was an hour ago, you didn't have time

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to find out you have a crappy car.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was worried about my money, and I kind

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 2>of blacked out. I expected to hear the guy yelling,

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>listen this thing. I found sand in the transmission, right,

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever, But no, just a wacky doodle.

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah and uh and you could have killed somebody obviously.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 5>So yeah. I don't know if you saw the video

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 5>of this, but he went straight through the big pane

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 5>glass windows and into somebody's desk with that car.

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh jeez, that's oh yeah, that's that's no good. I

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 2>got ripped off once on a car. Yeah. You remember

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>when I flew to Boise to buy that pickup truck.

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that was that turned out bad?

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like four days it was on the way home,

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the transmission stopped working. Oh really yeah, And I don't

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>know enough about transmissions to know how you would get it,

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, hair pinned and duct taped together to hold

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>up during test drive. But then it potts like as

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 2>soon as I left the guy's house. But that's what happened. Jeez.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I've had vehicles that ran fine until they got

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>warmed up when things got hot, and then things went south.

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>So as long as you drove the car when it

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>was cold, it seemed like it ran fine. Things got

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>all hot, they didn't work so well. What time? My

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 1>buddy Chris and I, Hey, gladys, can you play the

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>hard for this? My buddy Chris and I were going

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to college in Western Kansas, and we both were I

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>think we're nineteen years old. We're freshmen in college. And

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>we both had like a thousand bucks and we went

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to Denver to get cars. Neither one of us had

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.959
<v Speaker 1>a car, and we had a thousand dollars. His sister

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>drove us to Denver and dropped us off. We got

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>a cheap rental car. And the only way we're going

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to get back home is one or both of us

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>were going.

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 2>To buy our cars. Wow.

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>And we spent the weekend shopping.

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>What year it was?

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 6>This?

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Nineteen eighty four?

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:01.399
<v Speaker 2>Standby, I mean go ahead, you can keep talking. And

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean by standby, I mean continue you.

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Talking, Jose, I assume trying to figure out what one

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars would be in today's money.

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Precisely, it still wasn't a lot nineteen thirteen, No, nineteen

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>eighty two, you said, four eighty four? Okay?

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 5>Sorry?

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 2>The year van Halen's nineteen four album nineteen Charts. It

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 2>was the year after Van Halen's nineteen forty eight album

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to type in a talk at the same time,

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's going poorly. Okay, here we go. There you go, Jack,

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>that would be in today's dollars a three thousand dollars car.

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, yeah, so that that's helpful, but you know,

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>so not disastrous cars, but not a not a great car.

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>So we each had the cash in our pocket and

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>we went to a whole bunch of crappy car lots

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>because when you're buying it, when that's your your limit,

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't go to very nice car lots, right, I mean,

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>most car lots don't have a car that cheap anywhere

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>on the lot. So we're going to what they call potlot.

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>It's the places that are gravel, you know, and got

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>a puddle over there, and they got kind of like

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>a mobile home for where you go in and fill

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>up the paperwork. Charming.

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, those kind of places.

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>And I've bought quite a few cars at places like that,

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 1>and they're sketch af But we each bought Baja Bugs,

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>which was very childish of us, and The only people

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>that thought that was cool was ten year old boys.

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Girls certainly didn't think so. But we each bought these

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>old Volkswagens on the way home. Driving on the way home,

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>similar to your situation. His his broke down. We didn't

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>even make it home, like two hundred miles and his

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>broke down. Mine soldiered on and ran for years. Actually,

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>but man, you buy a car and you don't even

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>make it home, that makes you mad. That will make

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you mad.

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I say, all right, hang out, go ahead, Katie.

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:55.880

<v Speaker 5>so it had the little button and the convertible would

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, and then all of a sudden it's the

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>hottest thing.

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Definitely happens with cars. I got a whole bunch of

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 1>crappy cars I wish I would have kept because they'd

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>have been they'd be worth something now, or they certainly

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>would be cool now they were not at the time.

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:35.199
<v Speaker 1>This one takes American made fuel. It's only nine hundred dollars.

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 5>You know what, Looking at cheap cars online is comical.

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 5>For thirty eight hundred dollars, you can get a two

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 5>thousand and five Hondai Ailantra with one hundred and fifty

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 5>thousand miles, has no punch lights and only three tires.

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what I am. I am not to

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the place yet my life where I can even like

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 1>joke about that. I spent too many years driving crappy cars,

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.719
<v Speaker 1>and the only thing I ever wanted was to make

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>enough money that I could have a car that when

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I walked out in the morning, I knew it was

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna start. I thought that that was just my dream

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>in life, to know I could walk out there and

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>be almost certain that when I turned the key it

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:13.079
<v Speaker 1>would start.

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Because s was luxury in your head all the time.

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh, definitely, because every day of is it going to

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 1>start today? And then everything that goes with if it

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't start, how you get to work, how you're gonna

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.680
<v Speaker 1>get it somewhere, how you're gonna pay for it? Oh

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>my god, that's the worst.

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 5>My mom always talks about her seventy five bug that

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 5>she had to park on a on a hill facing downhill,

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 5>and she'd have to pop the clutch to get it

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 5>rolling in order for it to start.

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>No starter.

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good thing here in the Bay Area,

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.319
<v Speaker 2>in the Central Valley.

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, I had many motorcycles like that. I'd have to

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>run and then hop on the seat and pop the clutch.

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh did you get all sweaty?

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Wow?

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, what are you gonna do? I'll be back there

0:09:58.960 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>again soon enough. I'm sure.

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I was hanging out at the strip mall wherever it

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 2>was the other day and a guy passed me rolled

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>by and I'm not like a car guy exactly, so

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but it was an early seventies like Impalla.

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 2>It was one of those cars that's like sixty five

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 2>feet long. I mean, just a ridiculously long hood and

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 2>trunk Tudor. But you know, it took like five minutes

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>for the thing to roll by me, and it was

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 2>just magnificent. Yeah. Is that because it's just the car

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 2>that I admired when I was, you know whatever, seven

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>years old.

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's got to do with your age, because I

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>go to a lot of car shows with Sam because

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>he is a car guy and who loves him. And

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>when I was a kid, all the cars were fifties cars,

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, fifty seven Chevy or whatever like that, because

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the old guys there, that was the car that was

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>hot when they was in high school. They were in

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>high school. Now you see the occasional one of those,

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 1>but that's not what Guinneabody gathers around. They gather around

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eighty you know, Pontiac Firebird because that's the

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>car they had when they were in high school. It

0:10:58.520 --> 0:10:59.839
<v Speaker 1>has to do with what you had when you're in

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you're not a car guy. You know who is a

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>car guy. Mike Canton, our executive producer Hansen joined.

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 4>Them just you know, Joe, every kid, every high school

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 4>kid should appreciate and enjoy ownership of a land yacht,

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 4>one of those big cars. And I had one and

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 4>it was it was actually a proud moment for me

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 4>because I bought it from a Junkyard. My nineteen seventy

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 4>one buhicless saber bought from a Junkyard for two hundred dollars.

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 4>It was awesome. The heater had a quality heater up.

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm adjusting for inflation that two hundred dollars would be

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and four dollars to that.

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I could.

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 4>I could fit six guys in that car, I'm sure.

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 4>Plus load up the trunk with a lot of beer

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 4>before basketball games. We had a great time, heater beer awesome,

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 4>had a great time, no doubt. Someone plowed into that

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 4>car in the middle of winter on my street, and

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 4>I think I know who it was. Troy.

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll hold that against you for the rest of your life. Troy.

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow, damn Troy. Anyway, this may be illegue.

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>He went last name.

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm serious about it. Never revealed that ever, So my

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 4>whole life, I've never had a chance to call him out. Okay,

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 4>I've been wanting to do this for the past thirty years.

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow. If anybody else would like to level a half

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 2>assization for a decade's old incident, to call us and

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll put you on the air. I want to call

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>out my uncle right now.

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 4>So then I sold the car to a guy for

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 4>two hundred dollars. He drove it for the summer. Then

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 4>I bought the car back from him that fall for

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and fifty bucks. And I drove it again

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 4>for another winter. It was fantastic that a.

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Box on the God, now you broke even, all right.

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>That is the one thing with the cheap cars, because

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I've done that a few times. You buy him for

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>something and then you sell them for the same amount

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>because they just bought them out, that's what they were worth.

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, boy, my old buddy Scott, God rest his soul,

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>had this gigantic since in nineteen seventy, probably eight. I

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know Impalla, but it was one of those giant

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 2>land yachts. It was crappy when he owned it, and old.

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know, the old complaint used to be cars

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 2>are too small, they have sex in the back seat anymore. Well,

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Scott's racing and Palla. You could have one couple in

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the front seat and one in the back seat and

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 2>they wouldn't be aware of each other.

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 2>It was so freaking big. We could put so many

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 2>people in that car and in the trunk, Hansen to

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>your point, I mean, never mind beer, you could you

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 2>could like put one of those the tiny houses in

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the trunk. It was so ginormous.

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I learned to drive in our station wagon that was

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>like that. I don't know how I learned to drive

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>as a five foot two fourteen year old. But uh,

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't see anything but hood. There's just hood, giant

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>hood turning the giant hood everywhere I go. Those cars

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>are so long too. Learning to parallel park a twenty

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 1>foot car, I don't even know what that is.

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Makes you good? Who knows how many people you ran down?

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 2>And we're totally unaware of it, right? Maybe Old Troy

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>as somebody who had it coming. Huh.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 7>My parents bought a station wagon true story. They didn't

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 7>realize that the windows didn't roll down in the back

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 7>until when their kids got car sick, and that's how

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 7>they found out. Well, I guess that's it.

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Rolled down the window. I can't barf card
