I actually drove a 70s station wagon (during the 70s!) and there's no reason for that 12 mpg vehicle to exist today. He might as well be suggesting we all return to the great old days when everyone drove a Model T.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
