- We wrote last week about the varying opinions surrounding the Cash For Clunkers program. In that same vein, we steer you this week toward perhaps the best Cash For Clunkers urban legend going. It’s still less heartbreaking than the Corvette mishap though.
- In what may be more reality than myth, however, some dealers remain concerned with Cash For Clunkers reimbursements, and there is no shortage of reactionary political fallout surrounding the fine print of the program.
- The state of California is considering legislating car color, most unfortunate if you were planning on ordering one of these in black.
- Chrysler has started investigating the re-opening of some of its former dealers.
- Ah, and speaking of inglorious returns, the Trabant could be returning in a new iteration…electric.
- Apparently, General Motors, too, will be attempting to revolutionize its business model, as it seeks to auction cars on eBay. Well, sort of anyway.

- We close our lap around the blogosphere with an important birthday celebration; the electric car ignition turned 94 on Monday. Happy birthday to your ignition, and a special thanks to Charles F. Kettering, the inventor of the modern electric ignition. Without Mr. Kettering, you might be out front of your car each morning, hand cranking a start.
