its not about being at the right place at the right time. everyone who was invited to that show had writen in to her about their problems and she invited those who;d benefit most by it. elderly couple who didnt have a car, couple who couldnt afford a car, someone who had 400K miles on their car... so on so forth

still, its very generous

Sounds like a good plan.

In Illinois, you don't even have to take the car...you can just get the monetary value instead

So, just grab the cash and buy the Stang all you Oprah fans eace:

Rumor has it that for her record 20th season start she'll be giving out 900 2004 Pontiac GTO's donated by Pontiac dealerships ....

Just in time for the 2006 models to roll in!

With Jay Leno being a true car guy, he should top her by giving away the Mustang GT.
