You are never assigning Session("Selection") to anything.

You are setting the string "cars" to 'Y', but since never assign the Session
it will not work the way you want. I can give a more detailed explaination
if you need one, but for now reverse your code like so:

'do not call .ToString() on this, just use the bool value checkd
if checkbox.checked = true then
    dim cars as string
    cars = "Y"
    Session("selection") = cars
end if

Then you code on the next page will work as you are hoping for it to work.
