Acknowledged Joe what the heck is Baba doing with this runt automobile love that I said this huge man love that and he uh he tried to display cloak it to me I'm no longer obvious I ever in actuality understood it but you couldn't buy a huge automobile at that time in Japan uh offered that you while you happen to owned one by some means if any individual gave it to you or whatever then which that you might perchance perchance presumably alternate in for.

One other one a foreign automobile but I I in actuality never purchased that in actuality in actuality straight but that's the manner I understood it so I had this uh Cadillac that I veteran to alternate my automobile in every two years and I had this Cadillac and it used to be new I imply I I infrequently attach any miles on it as a consequence of I used to be constantly on the boulevard and my wife had their very possess automobile that I had for.
