Array input validation help

My first instinct would be that, if you're using AJAX to submit the form anyway, why use an array for the field names? Just create a new form for each vehicle. Names only have to be unique in the form, not on the page (id values have to be unique on the page, but you can use a counter to make the id values unique if you need them in your script).
