text: merica itself is going down the drain,and its going down hard. Gas prices going up,the rise of obesity,and with Ninety precent of Americans staying home and watching T.V. instead of going outside and taking a nice walk. As an American it sounds crazy that somebody would get rid of their car,borderline insanity. However,in their cases they were justified to do so. To pay for a large garage on your new home which already cost you all that money you were saving is just not right. That's why these very few people have decided to throw away their keys and pick up a pair of sneakers in order to combat the extreme amount of prices,all for a piece of luxury we bought when we were sixteen.
