3. That's right. She should offer to cover all collateral costs and fees.
Also I'll need a state-of-the-art music system installed.

7. You could accept the car and then donate it to a charity.
Oprah would understand.

6. I'll take a loaded, AWD Ford Fusion...
Or a Subaru Forester 2.5X with the turbo and the stick.
Or a Ford Escape Hybrid with a stick.

Blue, please...

22. I'm thinking she could do both. A car for everybody PLUS extensive and
then COMPREHENSIVE mass transit, heavy on the renewables of course.

Bullet train from Chicago to L.A. would be called simply, "The Oprah."

13. I think Oprah should stop taking herself so g-d seriously.
:eyes:

I miss her as she was in the role of Sofia. She should've had that Oscar and kept acting.

18. No, I'd still get a car. I'd never drive that beast.
I definitely don't want the high fuel costs/usage, either.

19. Okay, what if
you hand NO car, and Oprah gave you a free H1. You could either spend $XX,XXX on a car yourself, or drive the free H1. What if she even pitched in for gas. So, driving the H1 for you ends up being the cheap route for you financially.

Is simply driving an H1 out of the question?

20. In that case
if it were my only mode of transport, I would of course drive it. Probably use it to advertise my animal rescue, put some custom cages in the back. Totally puppy pimp it.

23. Ugh...today she punished someone with Celine Dion tickets.

Obviously Oprah has gone off the deep end.

25. From your subject line, I had a brief image of Oprah in black boots whipping
that poor couple with Celine Dion tickets.

The first paper cut is the deepest.
