Well, I got three but two don't run and well, I see a vanagon at least every
ten minutes while I am driving most of them are not on the side of the road,
where exactly are the twincities? I have been in St. Paul and Minniapolis
but they sure don't look like twins to me. Perhaps if they renamed it

So put me down for 1 1/2 OK?
