Dialogue: 3639-0
[1477]
{D Well, } as a matter of fact, I just bought one
[1459]
Just bought one. /
[1477]
[ Just, + just ] within the last three weeks. /
[1459]
S-, - /what did you get? /
[1477]
I got a Lexus L S four hundred.
[1459]
Lexus. /{F Uh, } -/
[1477]
Which is made by Toyota. /
[1459]
Okay, /Lexus is a Toyota subbrand. /
[1477]
Yeah. /
[1459]
Okay. /
[1477]
It's kind of their, -/
[1459]
I was wondering where that came from /{C because } they're talking like it was an American built car. /
[1477]
Right, /[ it, + it ] sounds like it, but it really isn't
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
It's, {F uh, } marketed, of course, [ it + its ] own dealerships. /
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
Usually, {C or } somebody that's maybe got a Cadillac or Lincoln and Lexus dealership, {F uh } -- /
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
-- sometimes they do that, /{C but } --
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
-- it's, {F uh, } a brand car, /{C but } I've really liked it. /[ It, + it ] drives just wonderfully /{C and } there is, - /it's so quiet, almost can't tell the engine is running. /
[1459]
That's their big selling point, {F uh, } other than general luxury /[ {C and, } + {C but } ] the particular seems to be [ the, + {F uh, }
[1477]
It really is. /It's got pretty good acceleration, too. /
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
It's got a C D player in it, /{C so } [ I can, + I can ] play those /{C and, } -/
[1459]
{F Uh, } was, - /that wasn't a standard, [ p-, + feature, ] was it? /
[1477]
Uh-huh. /
[1459]
Okay. /
[1477]
{C But } there is not very many options on that car. /
[1459]
{F Uh, } /
[1477]
There is only about five or six options. /Everything else is standard. /
[1459]
Yeah, /you get # the impression that, # -/
[1477]
# {F Uh, } some of the # tracking control things and skidding control things for up north.
[1459]
Uh-huh. /
[1477]
The C D and the premium sound system. /
[1459]
Skidding control, /you mean the antilock brake system? /
[1477]
Yeah, /it's kind of a traction control, I think they call it. /
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
[ It's, + it's ] not just antilock brake. /I think that's already on most of them, /{C but } --
[1459]
Oh, /this is [ a, + ] {F uh, }
[1477]
-- there is a further traction control, {F uh, } /
[1459]
{F Uh, } probably suspension tied into --
[1477]
Yeah. /
[1459]
-- the brakes. /
[1477]
[ {C And, } + {C and } ] also the suspension can be raised for driving, like in the ice and snow. /It can raise the car's center up a little bit.
[1459]
{F Um. } /
[1477]
For going under --
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
-- a lot of piled up stuff if you were up in Michigan
[1459]
Yeah, /{F uh, } shoot -- /
[1477]
[ Mississippi probably doesn't, +
[1459]
-- some of these muddy driveways could use it around here. /
[1477]
Mississippi probably doesn't ] have to worry too much
[1459]
No, /snow doesn't happen very often. /
[1477]
If it does, people go, what's this stuff. /
[1459]
Yeah, /{F uh, } originally I'm from West Virginia. /We got a --
[1477]
Oh, /# {D well, } you had some there. # /
[1459]
-- # pretty fair amount # of snow. /
[1477]
Yeah. /
[1459]
{C But, } {F uh, } I got down here in June of eighty-four, /{C and } the first winter down here was probably the worst winter they'd seen in twenty years, /{C and } it was amazing how a few inches of snow would turn normally sane, manly, adult men into playful little children. /
[1477]
{F Oh, } I know. /
[1459]
We had this group of, {F uh, } surveyors come into, {F uh, } a shop I was working in, {F uh, } four or five of them, these big old flame worn suburbans and the snow all over the place. /They had just come in to get gas in their vehicles and get the oil checked. /{C But, } while they were there they set back
[1477]
{F Oh, } no. /
[1459]
-- threw snowballs all over the place,
[1477]
[1459]
had themselves a ball for about an hour
[1477]
{D Well, } [ the, + {F uh, } the ] Lexus, {F uh, } really, - /{C and } the moon roof I think is also an option. /
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
Although most of them are ordered them with it, /{C but } there really is only about a half a dozen, {F uh, } things /{C and } --
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
-- everything else is pretty standard. /I did not get the traction control which also, when you take the [ c-, + traction control ] [ and the +
[1459]
Oh, /{C so } that's kind of, -/
[1477]
You go out and get in that real cold car -- /
[1459]
# It's a package deal. # /
[1477]
-- # {C and } you turn that on, /# [ {C and } it, + {D yeah, } {C and } it ] kind of, {F uh, } - /{C but } that's only available [ if, + with ] the traction control and the other option. /
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
{C And } those two are sold together /{C so } you have to take a two thousand dollar option there [ to -- +
[1459]
Ouch. /
[1477]
-- to, ] {F uh, } do it, /{C so } [ I, + I ] opted not for that /[ {C but, } +
[1459]
No, /it doesn't sound real necessary in Texas. /
[1477]
{C And, } ] {F uh, } the dealership I dealt with, they order them all with the, {F uh, } moon roof and, {F uh } --
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
-- {D you know, } nice floor mats and everything in there. /
[1459]
Yeah, /I worked # for Lincoln, # /
[1477]
# {C So } the only thing # I had to decide on was whether I wanted a C D or not in the stereo system /{C and } that was pretty much it. /{C And } they had {D like } three or four basic packages that [ they -- +
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
-- they ] offer. /
[1459]
Sounds like the Lincoln Mercury dealer I used to work for. /They didn't order anything but the extra luxury version of whatever they got. /Little Mercury Tracer -- /
[1477]
Yeah, /I've been o-, - /I've been, -/
[1459]
-- imagine, or not, [ they make a, + they make a ] luxury Mercury Tracer. /
[1477]
Yeah, /I've seen that in the dealership. /I was driving a Lincoln, a Mark Seven --
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
-- for the last four years before I traded it for this /{C and, } {F uh, } I'm leasing the Lexus. /I usually lease them --
[1459]
Yeah. /
[1477]
-- since I own a business /I just run it through my business, /[ {C but } -- +
[1459]
Uh-huh. /
[1477]
-- {C but } ] it, - /the Lincoln ride is certainly good, too, but [ the, + this ] Lexus is nothing like I have ever been in before. / *[[one or two utt?]]It's just, -/
[1459]
Like sitting in your living room. /
[1477]
Yeah, /it really is, /{C and } it's got a lumbar support in the seats. /
[1459]
Adjustable? /
[1477]
Adjustable, {F uh } --
[1459]
Yeah <
