  It's time now for car talk right here on K one, the one
• 0:10
  you trust, nine thirty and the sun is shining. It's Thursday morning.
• 0:14
  I guess that means brand's in the billy brand. The light up. The
• 0:18
  sun is so bright on the cars. Fuck it, it's like the eclipse.
• 0:22
  Man, I don't have a written about it this time of year.
• 0:24
  As the sun comes up, we get really, oh yeah, I want
• 0:27
  shades on the showroom, all faces to the east, and they it's kind
• 0:32
  of a you don't need them for very long, no hour, so it's
• 0:36
  pretty. It's kind of pretty. It is, it is. It is
• 0:39
  a beautiful morning. Glad everybody is here with us this morning. Good morning
• 0:42
  friends. It's Thursday, April eleventh, and we're still celebrating our eighty third
• 0:47
  anniversary here in Bartlesville this month. You know, hundreds of thousands of vehicles
• 0:52
  later, and you know, three generations, all those miles is actually it
• 0:57
  started in nineteen twenty nine and Tonkawahak was the first dealership and that's ninety five
• 1:02
  years ago this year. So that's that's a long legacy and we're really proud
• 1:07
  of that and we are. As we talked about last week, we're going
• 1:11
  to make a donation for every vehicle we sell this month to a local charity
• 1:15
  of our customer's choice, one hundred dollars, and if the charity gets the
• 1:21
  most vote, so to speak, we'll make that two hundred and fifty dollars.
• 1:25
  And I know we've had gifts for organizations like Hopestone Cancer Center. I
• 1:30
  think they're in the lead again, which is great. And then k Live
• 1:34
  Bartlesville, Bartleswild Boys and Girls Club and lots of others and got some guests
• 1:41
  here today, Corey Williams and Sonny Lee from the Sustainability Alliance. Well,
• 1:47
  welcome, say hello to everybody in Bartlesville. Here, Sonny beautiful Bartlesville.
• 1:53
  Yeah, yeah, so I'm so great to have you here. Just introduce
• 1:57
  yourselves a little bit. People probably don't know about the Sustainability Alliance. It's
• 2:02
  been in Tulsa for quite a while now, Yeah, for twenty two years.
• 2:07
  We got started, and really our focus has always been about the triple
• 2:10
  bottom line, people, profit and planets, and that's the work that we
• 2:15
  do. But we're now the Sustainability Alliance and so we've really grown outside of
• 2:20
  Tulsa. So that's one reason we're here today. We're excited to get to
• 2:23
  know Bartlesville. That's great. Well, there's a lot of good stuff always
• 2:28
  going on in Borrowsville. It's a very rich community and full of lots of
• 2:32
  organizations that love to support things, and you know, a lot along a
• 2:37
  lot of great organizations that work in that area like sutt Navy and Research Center
• 2:43
  and then Nature Conservancy's great Prairie Preserve over in Osage Camp. We're actually going
• 2:47
  to be going over to will Rock here. It's just a little while to
• 2:51
  speak with Kevin over there at woll Rock. So yeah, a lot of
• 2:53
  beautiful natural places that kind of dovetail nicely with what we do. Yeah,
• 3:00
  that's right, And so what else you do? Tell us? What is
• 3:04
  I mean? You mentioned the three pillars there, right, How doing you
• 3:07
  put that into action? Of course? Yeah, so again, you know,
• 3:12
  the Sustainability Alliance are really about kind of providing those that education resources and
• 3:16
  tools to help individuals and businesses and communities along kind of navigating what it means
• 3:23
  to be sustainable or that triple bottom line of people, profit and planet.
• 3:27
  So for us, like people would be for the individual, for the family,
• 3:30
  the community within their community. It also be health and wellness and mental
• 3:36
  and physical health of being fit in those buckets. Profit of course is at
• 3:39
  bottom line savings for family or businesses doing well and healthy and a healthy economy.
• 3:46
  And then plan is really protecting those natural resources. And all three of
• 3:51
  these things can't be in silos. They have to kind of be interconnected,
• 3:54
  and so we provide all kinds of programs and tools to be able to assist
• 4:00
  individuals and businesses. So from a business perspective, we have a program called
• 4:03
  Scorecard, and actually Boy Scouts of America here in Bartlesville just joined as a
• 4:09
  new Scorecard member and it's helping them navigate and improve their sustainability initiatives and save
• 4:15
  and those kind of things. It's a lot of great stuff with recycling and
• 4:18
  stuff. We've had them on the show before, and I know the Boy
• 4:21
  Scouts have always been interested in the environment and nature and putting all that together,
• 4:28
  I think they now have a sustainability badge and so yeah, we're really
• 4:31
  looking forward to working with them, so, you know, so that's partly
• 4:35
  and we also have an app called terror Score, so it helps individuals kind
• 4:41
  of think through people, profit and planet and things that they can do for
• 4:45
  their family as well as their community. And so that's a free and available
• 4:50
  for anybody that wants to use that. Right now, we actually have an
• 4:54
  Earth Day Challenge since yeah, it is a couple of weeks in way,
• 4:59
  yes, and this one's about pollinator habitats and so you know, you don't
• 5:02
  think about that. There's been a lot of stuff in the news about b
• 5:04
  numbers declining and butterflies and you know, they're they're important to We have the
• 5:10
  monarchs migrate through Bartle Still. Yeah, they do in our backyard and try
• 5:15
  to keep the milk weed growing. Yeah, so you know, yeah,
• 5:18
  of course I used to work for the Nature Conservancy in Oklahoma. I was
• 5:23
  one of their original fundraisers, was the development coordinator there and when we did
• 5:29
  the Prairie Preserve campaign and what a great organization and they do so much great
• 5:34
  work on the private side really putting together preserves and it's it's great. We
• 5:42
  also, you know, I'm reminded of our going through the lead experience when
• 5:46
  we built our Toyota dealership. We went through a lead certification and sounds similar
• 5:53
  to what you guys are doing on some of your programs with Scorecard. Ye
• 5:57
  keeping it going though, because that was kind of a hopes we had to
• 6:00
  jump through and then we got done and got certified, and of course they
• 6:03
  have ongoing programs as well. That yeah, you know, I mean that
• 6:08
  is I mean a lot of companies will that first round is really kind of
• 6:13
  investigating who they are and what kind of resources they have and some of the
• 6:15
  things they've already accomplished, and then the next round is really then kind of
• 6:19
  accomplishing those next steps. But a big part of it is maintaining those commitments
• 6:24
  that you've made, and so we have all kinds of support and networks and
• 6:29
  education to kind of keep that keep our members kind of aware of what's going
• 6:33
  on in the nationally and globally, and so we do have our program described
• 6:39
  every year for that. And there's so much to that because as we saw
• 6:42
  too, I mean you mentioned the business part of it profit and you know
• 6:46
  a lot of our decisions were made around how do we invest this if we're
• 6:49
  going to do this and then get some of that back. Is like with
• 6:54
  geothermal heating, there we put in the building, godess, a lot of
• 6:58
  points in it, but it is that cost of that building versus our forward
• 7:01
  building is so different and it's much less expensive to operate. One of the
• 7:06
  things I found fascinating, and I'm new with the organization. I just joined
• 7:11
  a couple of months ago, and people as a TV Yes, I worked
• 7:15
  for for Channel eight for five years and before that I did kvo O Radio
• 7:18
  in Tulsa for years. But this is a new role for me as the
• 7:21
  development manager. But what I find fascinating was one of the first folks that
• 7:26
  I met with the Alliance, I was a big aerospace company and they were
• 7:30
  able to save a million dollars by just making some simple adjustments and it allowed
• 7:35
  them to then get a green kind of a grant and then they were able
• 7:40
  to I mean, if you think about a million dollars a year at the
• 7:42
  average company or a big company could save that and help the planet at the
• 7:46
  same time, and it's a win win for everybody. So it's it's a
• 7:48
  great resource. And it sounded like too you kind of were aware of the
• 7:53
  system's approach needed to all this because it is all interrelated, and you know,
• 7:57
  we see that in our business as we can for to new power trains
• 8:01
  and things, electric vehicles, I know. So you mentioned you drive a
• 8:03
  Ford Lightning. I do absolutely love. I used to drag race a sixty
• 8:09
  nine Camaro and I loved that car. Oh yeah, my dad and I
• 8:13
  built the engine and I loved it. I've never loved a car as much
• 8:16
  as I love that Ford Lightning. With the exception of that sixty nine Camaro,
• 8:18
  they're both about as fast. Was pretty quick it is. Yes,
• 8:24
  that's the name technically, yes, but do you know that all that all
• 8:30
  stuff does work together with different systems. You had to work on charging when
• 8:33
  you bought a view like that, and maybe and so there's just all that
• 8:37
  infrastructure it takes to build all that out, and so the community really needs
• 8:43
  to work towards those goals, is where I was going. And yeah,
• 8:46
  and we loved just we work with all kinds of companies. We have several
• 8:52
  oil and gas companies that also participate in seeing value in it and to also
• 8:56
  smaller nonprofits and so there are score of Our program really is built out for
• 9:01
  any kind of organization really wanting to improve and to connect with others that are
• 9:05
  doing it, because that's a big part of it is that you learn from
• 9:09
  each other and so you know, how did you end up doing your recycling
• 9:13
  or how did you end up doing your energy management and save this money.
• 9:16
  And so it's really about that network too that we really love to help provide
• 9:20
  and support in that way. Yeah, and you have event a weekly or
• 9:26
  so often in Tulsa and tell us about those. Yeah, we have.
• 9:28
  So one of our programs is called First Thursdays and that is online as well
• 9:33
  as in person in Tulsa. So hip what can join us for that.
• 9:37
  We just had one on the intersection of climate change and social inequity and that
• 9:41
  was put together by Deloitte's research team and it was a fabulous program. So
• 9:46
  it'll be online here soon for people to watch. But we'll have another one
• 9:50
  coming up in August there. But we also have our B to B Case
• 9:54
  for Sustainability series and our next one will be in May and we'll actually be
• 9:56
  in Oklahoma City talking to the Secretary of Energy and Environment about some of the
• 10:01
  things coming down from EPA and what businesses can expect, but also some of
• 10:05
  the great things that the state is working on when it comes to greenhouse gas
• 10:09
  emission reduction and some other really exciting projects. So we want to keep people
• 10:13
  kind of in the loop so they know what opportunities they have, but you
• 10:18
  know, and to just stay connected. So we'll be in Oklahoma City on
• 10:20
  May nine for that. And you mentioned you have a relatively new expanded approaches
• 10:26
  at the whole state or how does the Sustainability Alliance? Where do you work
• 10:31
  and how well our headquarters are in Tulsa. But our program, so our
• 10:37
  scorecard program is utilized in seven states and over sixteen cities, so it's being
• 10:43
  utilized. Yeah, And so that's one reason we're over here in Barnesville.
• 10:46
  We're excited to kind of get to know the community and kind of share what
• 10:50
  we have if it's a value for the businesses here and individuals and so.
• 10:54
  And one way that we're going to celebrate that is we're going to come together
• 10:58
  in September to celebrate it through our Recharge program. Yeah. So Recharge is
• 11:03
  our big fundraiser. I like to call it a shindig because it's pretty Yeah,
• 11:09
  we like shindigs. Yes, all right, Well this one is going
• 11:11
  to be fantastic. It's in September nineteenth at Brush Creek Ranch, which is
• 11:16
  in beautiful, beautiful part of Tulsa. It's outside and we're hoping to get
• 11:20
  jana Ja. I don't know if you ever watched Tea Haw jana Ja was
• 11:24
  the girl with a blue fiddle, and she's going to hopefully be performing for
• 11:28
  us there. We have music, we have food, and it's a really
• 11:31
  neat opportunity to come. This year's theme is roots and Boots, and so
• 11:35
  we want you to put on your boots and come out and network with others,
• 11:39
  talk, have a good time, enjoy some great food, enjoy some
• 11:41
  great entertainment. Sounds a fun. Yeah, I think you should come.
• 11:46
  All right, Well, we'll see if I can do that. It's a
• 11:48
  few months off, so I've got time. Yeah, there's always stuff like
• 11:52
  that going around in Bartlesville. Remind people we had our guests last week from
• 11:58
  Concern. We have a dwelve down Town fundraiser which is a great event coming
• 12:01
  up this next Tuesday, where we're going to get access to some apartments and
• 12:07
  loft situations in downtown Bartlesville. Just like in Tulsa, there's been a revitalization
• 12:13
  of our downtown area and an investment in a great community green over there.
• 12:18
  If you haven't been over and seen what's between the Community Center and Price Tower
• 12:24
  now there's a stage and what kind of similar to Guthrie Green that the City's
• 12:30
  created and it's just a lovely space. So we have a lot going on
• 12:33
  downtown. But this event is going to benefit Concern, which is another of
• 12:39
  our great nonprofits, and that is nixt Tuesday, and then we also have
• 12:45
  the Bartsville Civic Ballets performance of The Wizard of Oz coming up on April twentieth
• 12:50
  and twenty first, and also before then, the Mustang's birthday is on April.
• 13:00
  Yeah, we've got a new Mustang too. Have you seen that?
• 13:03
  Now? I'm familiar with the Machi. My cousin bought a makey and it's
• 13:07
  the only thing I've been in that's faster than my truck is the makis.
• 13:11
  It's a scary, scary, fast fast. Yeah. So the new one
• 13:15
  is it? Well, it's awesome. It comes in hybrid variations and Echo
• 13:20
  Boost and it's really it's got the extreme vehicles. It's going to have a
• 13:24
  bespoke almost three hundred thousand dollars Mustang GTD that we're just learning about. But
• 13:33
  for more run of the mill, you know, a GT or the Echo
• 13:37
  Boost Mustang mid thirties great car has the largest screens you've ever seen in a
• 13:41
  car. Two of these big situations, and it's kind of it's a great
• 13:48
  car to feel like you're in the Space Shuttle in other words. And you
• 13:50
  know, those all those the new power trains with a little bit smaller engines
• 13:56
  than we used to have, trying you know, squeezing more out of out
• 14:00
  of each little horse power and your electric vehicles. But now we have so
• 14:03
  many variations in the middle. But you know, from full electric to plug
• 14:09
  in hybrids that are you know, partially electric with a more traditional hybrid battery
• 14:13
  hybrids are are virtually available in any kind of vehicle. Now we'll have our
• 14:18
  we just announced the new twenty four Tacoma is just we're just getting our first
• 14:26
  ones. They're going to have a hybrid variation of that truck that we've got
• 14:31
  our first allocation on in a few weeks. They just sent out a release
• 14:35
  of the new twenty five four Runners, so it's going to have a hybrid
• 14:39
  version also. So it's just becoming easier and easier to save a little bit
• 14:46
  of money. Yeah, you know, and and you know and get those
• 14:50
  you know, one of Toyota's great points about electrification of vehicles. If we
• 14:54
  put all our resources into vehicles like the lightning, you know, all the
• 15:00
  the natural resources it takes. We can't really put enough vehicles out there in
• 15:05
  a massive amount of time. And we're going to have to have some hybrids
• 15:09
  and the plug in hybrids just to reduce the overall load of CO two and
• 15:13
  other pollutants in the environment. If you want to really impact that the quickest,
• 15:18
  you have to build a bridge to that future where we'll all have,
• 15:24
  you know, more choices, and you know, we don't really know what
• 15:26
  those will be because because they're still working on it. I get you know,
• 15:31
  so many people ask about my about the lightning, and they'll say,
• 15:33
  well, what happens if you want to tow something? They have the same
• 15:37
  towing capacity of a regular F one fifty. My husband's a numbers guy,
• 15:41
  and he has been kind of putting pen to paper to see how much we're
• 15:43
  saving with the electric truck. We are saving two hundred and two fifty a
• 15:48
  month on we don't have to buy gas. I mean, our electric bill
• 15:50
  went up one hundred bucks a month, which sounds like a lot until you
• 15:52
  take into account I don't have to ever buy gas again. Do you keep
• 15:56
  another vehicle to go on vaca. We do, Yes, we do have
• 16:00
  it. Yes, we do have another vehicle for when we have to,
• 16:03
  you know, load all the kids up it. See that a lot.
• 16:06
  Yeah, and you know that's that's real in our lives. And we wanted
• 16:10
  the flexibility and need to be able to get out and be flexible. And
• 16:12
  until the there's enough charging stations out there and more fast charging stations, it'll
• 16:18
  be it'll be a little bit difficult if you're going, if you spend a
• 16:22
  lot of time out there driving and be careful in the mountains towing in the
• 16:26
  winter, you're gonna that's I have heard that. I have heard. Yeah,
• 16:29
  I get about two hundred and thirty nine months charge. So it's pretty
• 16:33
  good. Now if we towe something or it's extremely cold outside, it will
• 16:36
  cut it down a little bit. Did you have to do any modifications in
• 16:40
  your home to change The only thing we had to do was get the charger
• 16:42
  installed, and it was I think seven hundred dollars for that, which you
• 16:45
  can also write off as a tax return, so it was it was essentially
• 16:48
  free for us to get that charge. Lot of lightnings to come with these
• 16:52
  tax credits right. Yeah, we got the full tax credit because it's made
• 16:56
  in America, and so we got the full thing, and then the rebate
• 16:59
  on installing the chargers. So it's and we wanted to get the kind Apparently
• 17:03
  they make some kind of a charger where if you lose power, your forward
• 17:07
  lightning can power your house for three days. Yes, that's a power boost,
• 17:11
  yes system, and I wanted to get that. They were at the
• 17:15
  time there were supply chain issues. You couldn't get that installed, but I
• 17:18
  would love to add it. And we're still having those issues Toyota's telling,
• 17:22
  I mean, just on the same issues of how many hybrids can you build?
• 17:26
  Right, and getting those resources to the manufacturers so they can build all
• 17:30
  the vehicles to sub meet the demand is still hard. We can't build enough
• 17:33
  four by four as we can. You know, the whole industry is still
• 17:37
  dealing with that. But yeah, that's a great story, and I'd love
• 17:41
  to hear your personal experience with that. That's real, that's really neat.
• 17:45
  I love it, and it's it's nice. I have never had a truck
• 17:49
  before, so I got thrown into the whole, you know, kettle and
• 17:52
  fire both. I got the electric and the truck. So I feel like
• 17:56
  I'm driving a Semi when I'm in that thing. Very cool, very powerful
• 18:00
  semi and you can see everything on the road exactly. Yeah, I don't
• 18:04
  know. And as your Ford d we told you about pick up and delivery
• 18:08
  and that you with a Ford you can actually have. We'll come get your
• 18:11
  car and bring it back. Not that you meet my much maintenance with the
• 18:15
  lightning, but you are going to need to rotate those tires, you know.
• 18:18
  We actually did have to. The only recall we had was some kind
• 18:22
  of a pump for the wipe or fluid and they actually came out to my
• 18:26
  house and my driveway, which was a mobile service and pick up and delivery.
• 18:30
  Right. Yeah, that's an offering that Ford is encouraging all their dealers
• 18:34
  to do around the country and we're doing it here in Barblesviel too, something
• 18:38
  that's awesome to hear. So let's go back to the Sustainability Alliance and what
• 18:44
  you guys are doing. There's just remind people again about your organization and what
• 18:51
  the mission is. I know we've talked about it before, but it's new
• 18:55
  to a lot of our area and I know you've been in Tulsa like you
• 18:57
  said, for twenty two years, and you know, talk about some of
• 19:00
  that work and how the organization got started. Let's let's scare it. Well,
• 19:04
  it got started in my living room and I kind of just group in
• 19:10
  there and really, you know the goal was just to connect people around these
• 19:12
  topics and to kind of you know, we had people coming to us and
• 19:17
  said, well, where do I buy local foods? Or where could I
• 19:21
  buy a solar panel and those kind of things, and so we had at
• 19:23
  one point developed a green directory to connect people with those resources and those companies
• 19:29
  that offer you know, different products that are like like your company does and
• 19:33
  uh. And so through that conversation, we realized we continue to respond to
• 19:37
  what our members were asking us, and part of that was into the business
• 19:41
  community they really wanted to. We we have a B to B Case for
• 19:45
  Sustainability series that I mentioned, and we bring all kinds of topics, uh
• 19:49
  to the forefront. We even our last month we had one on the intersection
• 19:53
  of mental health, sustainability and employee retention. I mean, and you know,
• 19:59
  for a business, if you're losing employees, you're losing money and and
• 20:02
  so yeah, and mental health really got highlighted during the pandemic, and so
• 20:08
  we had an amazing panel come together and discuss that. So we really try
• 20:12
  to really hit the people, profit and plan of that triple bottom line and
• 20:17
  how that really they do come together and where as we're working together in these
• 20:22
  different components of our lives and our businesses, how we can really save money
• 20:26
  and create a higher quality of life for our employees and our families. And
• 20:32
  and really it's essential that we're protecting these natural resources that we all share.
• 20:37
  It's it's essential that it is a part of our everyday practice. And there's
• 20:44
  different things we can do and kind of as you mentioned, Brad, a
• 20:45
  lot of some of these things are the bridge to some of those successes and
• 20:51
  and that we have to embrace that each little success things are also interconnected.
• 20:56
  You know, we talked about the chain and you know, and things like
• 20:59
  how many gas stations there are and charging stations and whatever else we need next,
• 21:04
  that's all going to matter and this and working together, it's the only
• 21:07
  way we're going to get that done right. And there's just so many great
• 21:11
  community partners out there that just to collaborate and work on these things together.
• 21:17
  That's you know, through the b to b and through our First Thursday program
• 21:19
  we see a lot of that. And actually we have another program that's coming
• 21:23
  up. We're kicking it off this month, will be at Circle Cinema showing
• 21:27
  Common Ground, and this is a film really talking about the farming industry and
• 21:33
  things that we can do and it's really about people profit plannet, I mean
• 21:37
  farming is that to a tea? And we'll be kicking off a program called
• 21:41
  First Steps, which is really helping companies and organizations and schools and faith based
• 21:48
  communities they're wanting to get that first step in to like how does sustainability a
• 21:52
  part of our community? And how can I get started? Because it can
• 21:55
  feel pretty overwhelming, and so we really try to break it down into some
• 22:00
  doable steps and because we want people to feel successful and you know, there's
• 22:04
  different individuals and businesses that are going to be, you know, way ahead
• 22:07
  of the curve and others that are just peering in and we have a home
• 22:11
  for everyone. Yeah. That's one of the things I liked most was that
• 22:14
  you don't It's it's not the type of organization where you feel judge, you
• 22:18
  judgie, like, oh you didn't recycle that can now how dare you?
• 22:21
  You know? This is a we we strive to be to meet people where
• 22:23
  they are. So if somebody has never recycled an aluminum can, or if
• 22:27
  they're you know, we want to try to get them to make those first
• 22:30
  steps to start thinking more sustainably instead of you know, using the plastic bags
• 22:34
  at the grocery store, take your own reusable bags. And so we meet
• 22:38
  you where you are with no judgment, no you know, no criticism.
• 22:42
  We want to help you achieve that goal. And how do you are you
• 22:47
  a membership organization or how do you fundraise? And where does your support come
• 22:51
  from? Right? And I'll pass it over here to send me a second,
• 22:53
  but it is you know, it's membership based, so scorecard members.
• 23:00
  We also have business members, individual members. We also have sponsorships. So
• 23:03
  if you want to sponsor one of our programs you believe in the one of
• 23:06
  the programs, you can help to sponsor that, like our B to B
• 23:08
  program first Thursdays and then Recharge is really our big fundraiser that's coming up and
• 23:12
  a chance to really show that support that would support all of our different programs.
• 23:18
  So and we're so excited to have something on the team because she's helping
• 23:22
  to bring the sun in and I like that well, and I'm excited about
• 23:32
  it too. This is an opportunity to fundraise for a great organization. It's
• 23:34
  something I feel good about that's done that before. Yeah, great feeling and
• 23:41
  being a fundraiser for something like the Nature Conservancy well, being able to lay
• 23:47
  your head down at night and feel good about the organization that you work for
• 23:49
  and the people that you work that to have that common goal that we're all
• 23:53
  in this, I mean, we share one planet, and so to be
• 23:56
  able to pull in businesses and individuals and groups and now you know, expanding
• 24:00
  into churches or synagogues or schools. This is a great opportunity to get people
• 24:04
  to meet them where they are, to give a little bit of education and
• 24:08
  support and programming that can help them achieve those goals. And so, yeah,
• 24:11
  we were always looking for new business partners. We're always looking for new
• 24:15
  individual members and you can you can go to our website, the Sustainability Alliance

• 24:48
  a great, great time for Mustang com Yeah, that's sixty four and a
• 24:53
  half was the first one. I was talking to a customer of Mars who
• 24:57
  has a sixty four and a half last week and we're trying to arrange an
• 25:03
  event for later in the month to continue the celebration of our anniversary and the
• 25:07
  Mustang birthday and stuff. And we've got lots of great inventory on the ground
• 25:14
  right now. But it is turning really fast. We continue to kind of
• 25:18
  we learned that during the pandemic, how you know, to keep our inventories
• 25:22
  lean and mean. But starting to grow a little bit around so deer trades
• 25:27
  and some more of that that we used to be able to do a lot,
• 25:32
  you know, and find vehicle vehicles. It's starting to happen again.
• 25:34
  So if you don't see what you want, just give it, come in
• 25:37
  and talk to the team. We've got a bunch of stuff that's incoming from
• 25:41
  the manufacturers, and there's pretty good incentives and some interest rate specials and great
• 25:48
  opportunity to buy. We certainly are are non commissioned salary product specialists will help
• 25:53
