So, Wednesday I got a new car and I got rid of the van. It's been a very bittersweet experience. Now I have a nice car and the windshield wipers work and I have a rear view mirror and everything! But I am going to miss my minivan. It's the only vehicle I have ever driven since I got my license. My parents bought it new in 1993. I remember getting to cut the tie of the salesman off with some scissors at the dealership in Ft. Wayne(apparently this was something they did there when selling cars).
1. Speeding Tickets
2. Everything, Now! tour(photos below)
3. Driving back from a show in Indy with friends(rob and carolyn are the ones i remember) and purposely hitting some of those big orange barrels used during road construction.
4. "honk and swerves" and "nerding" in Muncie
5. Driving all over what seemed like every inch of Muncie to take photos.
6. stuffing in all of my possessions and moving to Bloomington from Muncie in one trip.

geeze. the first one that comes up is the night of the popcorn party i think. we were crammed in the back. we being me mark ryan etc etc. we were probably drinking in the back because i remember getting out and dropping a full bottle to the ground and getting pissed. we went to a party and some dude had airbrushed something on his shoes and there was a catchphrase we learned that night. later we went to the party where everyone threw popcorn everywhere and some girl came downstairs and yelled at us with a hairbrush in her hand. and maybe i've got a few nights confused here. but oh well.
and there was a catchphrase we learned that night......

i was just thinking about that aaron story the other day. i remember he was hOnking at a van in front of us with a license plate from Michigan. he was like "GET OUT OF THE WAY, NORTHERNERS! YOURE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!"
Man. I can vaguely remember some, but the surprising you at 130 am as you looked at shoes on the internet, and then going over to Jared's and then the 4 am donuts at crescent was one of the best memories.
