CNN is currently reporting that investigators are after a dozen more people. So if you can, carpool. Or take the bus. source

  • Car and Driver editor in chief Eddie Alterman • Discussing some of the cars that could head off the road thanks to Cash for Clunkers, which just got another financial boost from the government. While cars of the era that are getting taken off the streets – vehicles made after 1984 – were made in a period where vehicle quality was in decline (hence the name of the program), some cars were definitely keepers that would stand the test of time. • source
