Here's another aspect to consider in keeping old cars on the roads. New parts vs. rebuilt parts. New parts are often/always coming from China were emisions controls for the mining and smelting operations are not so good. Remanufactured parts save all that energy that went into those parts orginaly and just replace the parts that are worn or broken. And Reman parts are rebuilt in the USA.
