The next morning in Stars Hollow.
Jesse sat in the apartment above the diner IMing on his laptop.He was waiting for luke to get off of work so he could take him car shopping.He figured that since Luke knew so much about cars that it'd be best to take him along.Luke had taught him alot about cars so he knew some important stuff but not alot.
A knock at the door brought Jesse away from the computer.Luke popped his head in the door. "I'm ready now if you are." Jesse nodded and put up a finger signaling him to wait a second. He typed somthing and then shut his laptop. "Good I'm ready lets roll." He said standing up.
They headed out to Lukes beat up old pick up truck and got in. After they buckled up Luke flipped on the radio and Jesse emiedetly changed the station to some rock station.Luke rolled his eyes and started to drive in the direction of the car lot.
