I'll answer my own question:
* To qualify a car meet certain conditions, such as it must be registered to you and insured for the past year and it must get "18 mpg combined" or "less".
* What is the government's rating on the '02 Boxster S???? Anyone know? I do. It qualifies @ 18 mpg combined.

I think I'm driving an official clunker... wooo hooo!!!
We're getting all righteous on this thread when maybe we should consider going car shopping? I did notice that the "new" car you buy isn't allowed to have an MSRP about $45K for the base vehicle. Need to continue to investigate this. But, so far looks promising. Has anyone taken the next step?
