Hopefully SUVs will be ditched this time around, just like the massive boats of the 70's.

Of course, if things get even worse than 30 years ago, who knows what will happen? I'm considering opening a HPV dealership if such a scenario plays out. Perhaps by then the Leitra will look cool enough to sell.

The gas prices now are above what they were in the 70's. Right now, they are about the same as last year at this time.
