More motorists are fixing their old cars instead of buying new ones, in hopes their jalopies will survive a long recession, according to the Feb. 9 edition of USA Today. Motorists are hanging on to vehicles longer. The average age of the entire U.S. fleet of cars and trucks averaged a record 9.2 years in 2007 for the second year in a row, the most recent figure from research firm R.L. Polk. The 4.8% of vehicles scrapped was the lowest since 1996.
