Cash for Clunkers

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

There was a story yesterday on NPR's show "All Things Considered" about 
the 25 year cutoff in the cash for clunkers program.  The collector car 
hobbyists were credited with getting this inserted into the bill.  So to 
all of us who took the time to contact our representatives, it worked.  
In the story they were lamenting the fact that it leaves many cars on 
the road (nearly 5 million according to the reporter)without catalytic 
converters, gas guzzlers, etc.  As a regular listener of NPR I took the 
time to send an email and explain that many of these cars are driven 
very little and that a small percentage of them are used as daily 
driver.  I also pointed out that we need to have some around as parts 
cars to keep our collectibles in top condition.
Here is a link to the story if anyone cares to listen or read the
