Say you have a few DropDownLists that filter data:

Car Make:  [Ford,Chevrolet,etc]
Car Year:  [2010, 2009, 2008, etc]
Car Model: [LT, SLT, etc]

And you make a selection and not show that DDL again. Is there any standard place to maintain previously selected values? This is for a "drill down" menu system.
