ummm, my old ford tempo, dodge neon and even a dodge caravan turned tighter than the max does. although, thats my only real complaint about the maxima, so i can deal with it, but man, its like trying to do a 3 pointer with a fricken limo!

I learned about plurals in English class...

All I did with math was Geometry, Algebra, Calculus...
