I have a confession. I hate to throw away anything. In fact, it seems that in this time of recession, people are holding on to things that normally they would replace. I think, for the most part, this is great! Cars are being kept to an all-time high. In fact, the median age of cars in the U.S. is up to 9.2 years.
