Gasoline is cheaper, and you can drive to lots of places, I can be in NYC in 4 hours driving less flying. 

Junk yards typically have battery acid leaks, motor oil leaks, gasoline spills and other items relating to electronics.

The price of gasoline has gone down, but, the average wage earner makes less now, after Inflation.

I also hope the large increase in gasoline and diesel fuel taxes and the car tax will be ended by the successful recall (I was an early signer of the petition).
