9. I know here in Texas people are giving up their pickups

and driving in smaller cars to work
the pickups are being used for recreation

I never thought I see the day Texans would get rid of their pickups but its looking like its happening

Americans will conserve and good gas mileage cars will be a necessity

and when you see a hummer pass you by you know where they come from
