I am lost here, are you saying Al & Bob only work with each other and no one else?

That's right. I don't know if a month is the ideal time, but we can think that way for now. I'm not sure how we'd scramble it for the following month, either: maybe increment every exchange by 1 on the list. If Al and Bob exchanged in September, then Bob would exchange with Chuck in October, til we got to Zach, who would exchange with Al.
The one I was involved in before had six people ...so " A sent his car to B " , B sent his to C etc. .....and cars proceeded the same way until they went once to everyone ...took about 6 months .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
For now, if there's an odd number of participants, or if a new member comes in and it may be a while before he gets an exchange, the coordinator (me at the moment) will exchange the extra car. By the way, I'd like to set this up so no single person is indispensable, so if one or two of you guys would strongly consider the position of co-coordinator, so that I can be demoted to another co-coordinator, I'd appreciate it!
Cool beans. I'm going out to the Brooklyn Cyclones game tonight (the 100th Anniversary of Ebbetts Field - you Angelenos remember Ebbetts Field). I'll PM you tomorrow.

Mike, here is the list I've come up with of first-round participants, based on the posts here and on The Whistle Post. Since you're co-coordinator and have clearly shown an interest in working this out, would you be kind enough to translate your example into a real-world arrangement for how we might start with those on this list?
Also, if anyone else would like to opt in, or anyone now on the list would like to bow out, please let us know -- I hope we can go live after the Labor Day break.
