ok. first order of business: everyone needs to know about chuck the wagon. chuck is a 1988 white subaru DL wagon, purchased for $50 by myself and John for the purpose of learning to drive a stick shift. yes, the car was actually $50. I didn't leave off a zero or anything. we bought him off some dude in chapel hill who didn't want him anymore. i'm pretty sure chuck's sound system is more expensive than chuck. chuck has 90 horsepower and he is white, extremely ugly, and even more awesome.
the plan is to let chuck take the inevitable beating every car with a manual takes from a first-time driver, and then use my mad stick-shifting skills to buy a new 2005 Mazda3 SP23. John's buying a 2005 Ford Mustang convertible.....he wins....but mine will still be sweet. i'm already getting a lot better at driving chuck, so the plan seems to be working. if I can drive an '88 subaru wagon I think I can probably drive anything. at the time of this posting there's not much there now, but go to www.chuckthewagon.com to see chuck, one of man's all-time greatest creations. i took some pictures today so they'll go up soon. it would be sooner if I hadn't left the camera in my car, and if my car wasn't so far away from this couch.
side note: i just learned about google's new map site and it's awesome. go to maps.google.com. it's still in beta, but it's going to put yahoo, mapquest, and every other map site i've ever seen to shame.

Dude that's awesome. You can drive the Celi whenever you want, just as long as you don't blow it up.
Oh yeah... We beat duke tonight. 7 drinks later I'm here to report that downtown is an absolute mess. I have no idea how I can still type--although you are both neat and cool.
Good luck with the stick. And yes John wins (as he often does) but you are still cooler than I, which is undeniable.
