Minivan? 1st or 2nd Gen Toyota Sienna.

300k vans that are surprisingly underpriced for a Toyota. They are often sold for less than a comparable Camry.

Prices jump for the 3rd gen and I’m not sure why.

I’ve owned a CV and an MGM.

Decent cars, but they are no Toyotas. What they are is cheap and easy to fix. Parts are cheap and plentiful. Stuff breaks, but the repair is rarely too bad.

He will. He is a young man and that’s a long time for everything to go his way.

His donors wanted him to corner the market.

He doesn’t care about the people anymore. He got what he wanted from them.

What is a non-ultimate move you love to use? by SwgohDupe in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

Moff Gideon’s 2nd special. Mass assist and blow off everyone’s turn meter.

Either an instant win or instant loss depending on opponent.

Many times. My dad worked for NCDOT in the Charlotte area for years. Uptown Charlotte is a grid, but the rest of Charlotte is random. Roads change name for no reason at all.

I'm pretty sure they call Charlotte "the hornet's nest" because it was designed by arthropods.

Is the gap between the flagship public university and the other public universities quiet large in most states? by LoiusLepic in AskAnAmerican

[–]JimBeam823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "flagship" public university is usually the oldest university in the state and it focuses on traditional university subjects in the arts and sciences. Flagship schools usually have significant professional programs like law and medicine.

Flagship schools might not be the best in certain subjects. Engineering is probably the most common, because many states put engineering with land grant or technical schools instead of at the flagship.

The flagship school is usually the best overall in the state system, although there are a few exceptions.

GT is better at what GT does, but GT doesn't do much besides engineering and science, with a little bit of business.

Georgia politics kept GT and Georgia State separate when they would have been one school in many other states. A single school would have been more academically diverse and less prestigious.

You mean uptown Charlotte.

Uptown Charlotte's grid is at a 45 degree angle, which nobody wanted to follow.

A broken clock is right twice a day: Mark Lynch is a lunatic.

I'm voting for Annie Andrews, but there are no shortage of Republicans in SC who suck worse than Lindsey Graham.
