Even more interesting being now vs. 1976. Oil embargo with runaway inflation, while housing market was still healthy, I remember only a handfull of drag racers having to quit. This time it's different. Credit crisis, home equity values tanking, along with energy cost increase rates that are more rapid and proportionally higher than the Carter days.
