QUAKER OATS, Pennsylvania - (Satire News) - With the price of gasoline hitting an astounding $8 a gallon in California, and $7 a gallon in Connecticut, many middle class and poor families are selling their automobiles and resorting to horse and buggies; like the Amish have been using for centuries.
One resident of California said he sold his 2002 Kia Sorento for $2,903, and was able to purchase a 1998 Amishian Buggy plus a 13-year-old horse for $1,814.
An Amish Buggy dealership in Oil Slick, Pennsylvania, told The National Rumblings News Agency that he has completely sold out of his entire stock of buggies and he will be buying some from an Amish used buggy lot in Elephant Butt, Ohio.
One poor family from Indianapolis, told Traci Diddle with the NRNA that now that they have sold their gas-guzzling Oldsmobile, and purchased a used horse and buggy team, they will now, once again be able to afford to buy things like milk, bread, Rice-a-Roni, beer, and Hostess Twinkies. ■
