  1. I hope things work out for ya man.
  2. 1. Price 2. Mileage 3. Condition Subject line: Avalon Xls 97 Or Es? What about the ES?
  3. I understand where you are coming from now. :)
  4. Your comments contradict with your past comments. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...c=24665&hl=
  5. Hey Jibbby, Is that a free air sub? 10"? Does it make the car rattle a little or create a bass that you can feel.
  6. For $6k and 70K miles, I'll say you should look into camries. What do you define as a "big car?"

  8. You can use IDE to SATA adapters something like these: http://www.cooldrives.com/sata-to-ide.html
  9. I searched out these pictures of the C-class:
  10. Sorry India, I completely forgot about the combining of AP History and AP English. They started this on the class before me so I took them as separate courses, plus our school combined AP English with AP ‘US’ History. Okay, the history AP tests have a lot of essays along with multiple choice answers. Anyone can do those multiple choice, but boy are those essays tough. By combining the two classes you learn how to write essays for the history courses because students loose majority of points from the essay questions. There is a little twist to writing those essays. You will find that in AP biology as well. So overall the most dreadful part of AP tests is the free response section, unless you have mastered the technique of writing a well thought-out essay in class, this is where the combination comes in. In college: All of your exams in the history courses will be essay. You will be worried more about time running out than your hands cramping up (this is where MS word comes in…lol). If you are a biology/science major you will have to take two courses of General biology and two of General Chemistry. If you score 4 and above on the AP biology & Chemistry test, you will not have to take them in college. Now, that’s 4 classes (these are 4 credit hour classes in just about all colleges) and all four have labs with them (these labs meet once a week for 3-4 hours) they also include lab reports, lap practicals, and quizzes. Aside from the classes, labs are the worst part of these courses, and if you get a strict go by the book TA (teacher’s assistant, these labs are taught by grad students)…….you can imagine. So these are 4 courses each count as 4 credit hours that’s a total of 16 credits = ONE WHOLE semester. We are still in college now if you are still with me. No matter what your major is you will be required to take English 101 (the intro English). Once again if you pass the AP test no more English 101. In that course you will submit the assigned essays to your professor through out the semester (almost certainly a total of around 4-5) and that my friend is your grade (somewhat will be on attendance depending on the professor). If you fail the AP test, that is okay. Not the end of the world. Those AP course let alone the AP test will most certainly by A LOT harder than the actual equivalent course in college. By the way, this is not a reason for not trying your best. As far as honors courses are concerned. I don’t even know why they call them honors. Most teachers just use the same test they use for college prep. Even if they don’t I’m telling you right now honors is certainly not a huge deal in academics as of now. This will not show up on your high school transcript? I don’t know the answer to that one. But, college applications include more than just your name and address. They will have 3 or more essays, in which you can incorporate that class and experience. When I took AP classes in high school, there was no doubt in my mind I was going to do badly in college. I was only taking 2/semester in high school and in my mind college equaled 4-5 AP classes/semester. Because of those hard AP courses, college seemed easy. The AP classes REALY prepared me for college. Also every AP teacher in my fairly small high school (student body of 800) loved teaching and had been teaching there for a long time. I remember you talking about Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT] which is ranked #7 National University in the U.S. taking all honors class is not even going to come close to you even being on the “maybe” list of applicants. Unless you have a near perfect score on the SATs. My high school had GPA points as: AP: A-6 B-5 C-4….. Honors: A-5 B-4 C-3….. College Prep: A-4 B-3 C-2….. For my class of 04, the valedictorian’s GPA was 5.3x. Mine was 4.5 and I was 18 out of 153! Do what you think is the best for you. By the way India, do you know or have an idea of what you want to do in life? Overall, I can’t agree more with what LexKid630 has said above. Toysrme, my friend you need to join us in the academic year of 06-07!
  11. My brother already had me with that one before but great setup India ;)
  12. Congratulation Blake. Heyyy Blake as a mod.......
  13. Second paragraph "Observe the Speed Limit": http://fueleconomy.gov/!Removed!/driveHabits.shtml
  14. Okay bud. Realistically you are not going to find what you are looking for from the information you have provided. Every state is different. As steviej stated tell what those abbreviations stand for and even touch on the GPA multiplier. Have you encountered this site before: http://www.collegeconfidential.com/ It has A LOT of information, especially in those discussion/forums. I found it while in college and not before!
  15. For the price, it was a good deal I’ll say. As having a mechanic in the family it is a key bonus, now you would only need to buy the parts without the dreaded service costs. As far has having dirty leather, just see the second page of this thread: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...raser&st=15 If you never heard of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, here is their website: http://www.homemadesimple.com/sites/en_US/...ts/eraser.shtml btw: Blake (guy with the magical leather) has over 250k miles on his 1995 LS, I am not certain but now close to 275k. Later, he had the driver's seat and the center counsel replaced:
  16. Just another sorry attempt of replicating Jackass.
