I like your pic Vile, though I think your oil mat is very crude,*nyuk,nyuk!
I believe the formation of the North American Union (scheduled circa 2010) will finally require Americans to give up their romance with big gas-guzzling vehicles. When the United States gives up its sovereignty and effectively dissolves the borders between Mexico and Canada to form a Super-State, much like the European Union, most of the remaining American middle-class will pretty much disappear. The only affordable personal transportation will be cars such as the example Duo posted. Unfortunately, the U.S. Constitution will have to go too. What, you never heard of the North American Union? Check out the official U.S. Government website-www.spp.gov/ "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America". Then do a web search under "North American Union" to get the real ramifications. Pretty soon we'll be using "ameros" instead of U.S. dollars. More "food for thought".
