@unfiltered.autos: september 13, 2004. oprah filled her studio with people who really needed a car, waved a giant set of keys and yelled that everybody gets one. 276 brand new pontiac g6s, $28,500 each. history.com says pontiac paid for every single one out of its ad budget. then reality hit. cnn money reported a free car counts as income, so winners got hit with a tax bill of up to $7,000. harpo told them they had three choices. pay the tax and keep it, sell it and pay the tax, or give it back. some people took out loans just to afford their free car. and pontiac? gm killed the whole brand in 2010. would you have kept it or sold it 👇 #oprah #yougetacar #pontiac #pontiacg6 #irs
