there's this CNN video article about how this family has been forced to stop driving their 12 mile-per-gallon truck 70 miles a day to work.

oh, and they were looking forward to the money they would save after paying off their daughter's car...

and the best part, it's a 4 person family (the daughter, and a young son) with 3 cars and a truck.

so i can't help but laugh my ass off. "sharply affected" in this case means that a luxury for them and their daughter has been comprised. :lmao: :lmfao:

man, can you get more moronic and hypocritical? i don't think so. :angry:
