I WON A CAR!!!!!!!

It was the funnest day I have ever had in my life. My school does this drawing for attendance at the end of every year, and out of 5,000 people I won!!! I get to choose between a Ford Focus, Ford Ranger, Chevy Aveo, Chevy Cobalt, and a Chevy Colorado. I've narrowed it down to either a Cobalt or a Colorado. I'm just pumped up about it, I don't even care that the Spurs lost last night :lol Well maybe a little but still. This is so random, I never win anything and this is just crazy. I was going to have to buy one this summer and now I don't :smokin

I was just like what the hell is going on :lol I'm going to be on the news and everything and I bet I sound so stupid. It was definitely one of the better things that has happened to me.

Gas is a concern, the Colorado is damn nice but it only gets about 15-17 mpg. The Cobalt is nie too but a truck...man.

How much do you have to pay for the tax, title and license?

td4mvp21
05-22-2008, 10:21 PM
Still don't know yet, but I've already started to gather up money to pay for them.

King

If you're not sold on any of them - pick the most expensive, trade it in for a cheaper one you like, and pocket the difference.

edit = ha, didn't see that someone already posted that.

That is so totally awesome! Common sense says go for the best gas mileage, but I kinda like the Colorado.

You had perfect attendance in school and you used "funnest?"
Also congratulations.

Like others have said, watch out for that tax bill! You should get a 1099 early next year. Keep that in mind.

So when you win something like that, how do taxes come into play? I know you have to pay taxes on it. Do you just get a 1099 at the end of the year?

And congrats!

Awesome. A bike would be sweeter, though.

I went with the Cobalt, and I'm glad I did. It's fucking badass. Pic:

You should have put shoes on. J/K. Congratulations!!!! That is such a blessing. Hard work pays off. You deserve it. Good choice too. I am sure you get good gas mileage.

I will decide what is random here. :p:

Congrats.

Take the one with the highest gas mileage. Gas ain't goin' nowhere but up.

I have been shopping around for a new car and looked at the Focus, it is a pretty decent little car.

Why would you pass up the truck?

2 door, single cab, manual transmission. It wasn't as near as nice as the Cobalt.

By the way, I didn't have to pay ANYTHING for it. I'll have to pay income taxes on it obviously but other than that, I won't pay a dime. I'm very thankful and the owners of the dealerships are very generous people.
