Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch Up podcast.
Speaker 3: We have a car based submission by one of our listeners.
Speaker 3: She espouses that she will not let certain people in
Speaker 3: based on their car on the road.
Speaker 4: And let's clarify what that means, because the first time
Speaker 4: I read that, I was like, I don't understand what
Speaker 4: you're saying. So when somebody is merging, she won't let
Speaker 4: them gracefully merge into her lane if they don't drive
Speaker 4: a here under.
Speaker 3: Correct odd she goes on high flexing. For me, I
Speaker 3: would love to hear your opinion on driving etiquette when
Speaker 3: considering the differing cost between two vehicles.
Speaker 2: This is so much.
Speaker 3: I own a Heyundai I thirty trophy, a truly sick
Speaker 3: car that cost me twenty three g's I a Heyundai
Speaker 3: driver will under no circumstances give way too or allowed
Speaker 3: to merge in front of me, or otherwise show a
Speaker 3: single sec of consideration to another driver who owns a
Speaker 3: car that is more expensive than mine. I don't know
Speaker 3: why I think this way, It's just the way I think.
Speaker 1: Is Is this weird?
Speaker 3: Or do myself imposed driving regulations have merit?
Speaker 1: Love this?
Speaker 2: She sounds like one of yours. Well, I was.
Speaker 4: Reading this and feeling seen i'd heard, Like, it's so meta,
Speaker 4: what's happening here. It's one thing to admit to having
Speaker 4: road rage, but this is intentional, specific class based road rage.
Speaker 3: I mean class It's kind of like a Robin Hood
Speaker 3: type energy.
Speaker 4: When this listener mentioned the price of her vehicle, I
Speaker 4: thought it was to be a flex to say that,
Speaker 4: like here, this is a Baddy vehicle twenty three K.
Speaker 4: Now you're saying I'm not gonna let a vehicle more
Speaker 4: expensive merge.
Speaker 2: Are there less expensive vehicles on the road these days?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: There is?
Speaker 2: Can you get a car for sixteen nineinety like you
Speaker 2: could in twenty twelve?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't think you can after COVID little ten k mos.
Speaker 2: Not after COVID used.
Speaker 4: Cars are up to seventeen eighteen nineteen K because they
Speaker 4: can't get them imported.
Speaker 2: A lot. She's not letting a lot of people merge,
Speaker 2: is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 1: Interesting, I think to go more for the Lexus community.
Speaker 3: There are some gripes against the Lexus community and the
Speaker 3: BMW community as well.
Speaker 1: I think this is hilarious.
Speaker 2: I think it's.
Speaker 1: Fantastic to be so.
Speaker 3: To be so self aware and really step into your power.
Speaker 1: As a Hyundai I thirty driver trophy.
Speaker 4: What we will do now is profile people based on
Speaker 4: what cars they drive. It's meant to be derogatory, so
Speaker 4: if you take offense, just take it on the chin.
Speaker 3: We have a smart car here in a lime green colorway.
Speaker 3: This is the kind of car that Tilda Swinton would drive.
Speaker 3: No way, definitely, in a bit like in between movies.
Speaker 3: She's taken on a mortgage is a little bit more
Speaker 3: expensive than she ought to, so she had to make
Speaker 3: some concessions.
Speaker 2: Enter I'm googling, not Carti's tatter Swinton drive.
Speaker 1: The green car.
Speaker 3: This is also likely imported, so a terrible choice because
Speaker 3: it would be difficult to find parts.
Speaker 1: Okay, Up next is a message I.
Speaker 2: Listen to that everyone.
Speaker 4: That's really good advice, because I bought an imported car.
Speaker 4: It was a two thousand and one Nissan Cube imported
Speaker 4: from Japan, and it was terrible. I lived at the
Speaker 4: mechanic and for what and for what? Tilda Swinton ambassador
Speaker 4: for Mercedes in twenty fourteen, She's too cool for that
Speaker 4: sleek long line S class coup.
Speaker 3: Would I let the person in the smart car in yes,
Speaker 3: because I'm afraid of your safety. It's a very dangerous
Speaker 3: car to drive. My dad said, never get a smart car.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Up next we have the Mazda. It is a white
Speaker 3: colorway four door hatchback situation. This is a fantastic calf
Speaker 3: for grandma's who have little, tiny grandchildren that need the
Speaker 3: booster seat. Would I let this person in? I'm gonna say, surely.
Speaker 3: It's like quite an unbecoming. Yeah, it's quite an unassuming.
Speaker 2: It's for every person car.
Speaker 3: I definitely got quite a later model, so perhaps a
Speaker 3: little retirement pay out there.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Number three we have the Cube Lilian's car piece to resistime.
Speaker 2: Not the Govey, not the Guvey, the.
Speaker 3: Govey car like, No, this is actually a flex marks
Speaker 3: a flex.
Speaker 4: Car for sure. If I could have a Cube now,
Speaker 4: I would go and get one. They're just hard to
Speaker 4: get in Australia. We'dest car ever for you.
Speaker 2: I think it's perfect, Like this is like.
Speaker 1: A glitch in the system that you ever had this car.
Speaker 4: I think this is the only car that actually makes
Speaker 4: sense for me. Of course, now I drive a medium
Speaker 4: sized luxury suz but that's only because I was like
Speaker 4: scarred and cursed with the experience. I said, I can
Speaker 4: never go to a mechanic again. But I even struggle
Speaker 4: with servicing.
Speaker 3: This car is like the car that you see on
Speaker 3: maps when there's like a car moving.
Speaker 1: I fade this car.
Speaker 2: I hate this car. I create this car.
Speaker 3: I would let the merge out of jos and hate
Speaker 3: this car. I let the merge out of pity. Nicky
Speaker 3: loves this car. You guys have no sense about you.
Speaker 2: I think people would think you would also love this car. Okay.
Speaker 1: Next we have the Ranger over.
Speaker 3: This looks like a twenty fourteen to fifteen model. It's
Speaker 3: certainly not the highest of the range. Probably should have
Speaker 3: traded in by now and went for something a little
Speaker 3: bit more within your price.
Speaker 2: Trade in, How does the trade in even work it?
Speaker 2: That's a myth.
Speaker 3: Am I going to let someone in a luxury car
Speaker 3: that is an earlier model than twenty twenty in No,
Speaker 3: because you are running through Okay, the.
Speaker 1: Hyundai gets yellow model to door.
Speaker 3: The other gets actually quite an expensive car to buy secondhand.
Speaker 3: I did look at them after my car was ransacked.
Speaker 3: Rip to my nises.
Speaker 2: Because it's reliable, it's a reliable car.
Speaker 3: It's very good value for money and a very great
Speaker 3: petrol efficiency.
Speaker 2: Where's the Toyota Camri?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Can we just have just to edge this video off?
Speaker 3: If you have funds, if you have parents, will buy
Speaker 3: you a car. If you have like a little tiny
Speaker 3: bit of a nest egg situation happening and you'll want
Speaker 3: to buy a new car. If you need a second hand.
Speaker 2: Car, get a Camri.
Speaker 3: Buy a Toyota Corolla. It will last you forever. A
Speaker 3: Yarus is also a good choice if you can't go
Speaker 3: for the full Corolla.
Speaker 1: But if you ever need I didn't get.
Speaker 2: A Corolla and you regret it?
Speaker 1: No, I just it just wasn't. It wasn't what I
Speaker 1: wanted to pay.
Speaker 2: Can I give my bit of advice?
Speaker 1: Is your family in the crentistry?
Speaker 2: And she meant it too, And she meant it.
Speaker 3: Combined my father and I combined fifty years in the
Speaker 3: car industry.
Speaker 2: You had your six month stick.
Speaker 4: I just want to say, in my experienced buying cars,
Speaker 4: both secondhand and cash up.
Speaker 2: Frump, you can't buy a car for.
Speaker 4: What it looks like on the outside. It's what it
Speaker 4: feels like in the inside. I bought No, I didn't know.
Speaker 4: I bought a Cube because I was like, I want
Speaker 4: a square car.
Speaker 2: That was my own. That was my only criteria. I
Speaker 2: wanted square car.
Speaker 4: I got the square car, and I was like, fabric seats,
Speaker 4: this isn't eating. I don't know about this. I bought
Speaker 4: my new car, which will not be named. The outside
Speaker 4: is like nondescript, medium sized black suv, but inside, leather seats,
Speaker 4: pushed to start. It's got RGB lights everywhere, ceramic coding,
Speaker 4: It's got this panoramic sun roof. It's just luxury inside.
Speaker 4: And that feels better because you're inside the car when
Speaker 4: you drive it exactly. I also think that growing up,
Speaker 4: I was like.
Speaker 2: Ill, no, I think we're actually done. You said what
Speaker 2: needed to be said. I recovered from the band.
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you for cutting me off right when I
Speaker 3: was going to become incriminated.
