Wow, that is awesome. I bet there were a few people who were ready to have a heart attack. I probably would have! I bet that a lot of people there didn't believe it at first, LOL

OMG I know but it got to the point where sooooo many ppl wanted tickets to the show that she gives all her "favorite things" away on that now they no longer advertise the dates of the shows. Its just a surprise to the audience on that day.

Ive never been to Chicago. I would just like to go there, go to the show and check out the sites some time. Hmmm you and DBD cant be THAT far from me.... maybe some day ...... LOL

I didnt see that show and im glad, it probably would have ticked me off... I mean its cool of Oprah to do that for the people in her audiance, but im sure most of them didnt need a car, or assistance in the way of freebies of any kind. but then here I sit, dont have money for my own place after my divorce, dont have a car so there isnt a way for me to look for a job, let alone get to one even if I had one and 3 kids to support. This stinks, I could have REALLY used a freebie like that I wonder if any of those people will donate that free car to charity or anything ( those that dont need it that is ) ... I doubt it thats just crazy... I feel she could have done better things with those than give them to people who had transportation of some sort to get to her show in the first place.. sorry yes its been a bad year for me, and mabey im wrong for feeling this way but its just my opinion and nothing more.

i guess i will have to watch the rerun of that one! i love it that she is so generous.

She said that everyone in the audience needed a car. That is why they got tickets to her show. Not sure how she found out so many who needed a car. I guess on her web site.

Also I don't think Oprah gives all those things away. I bet her bosses foot the bill. Not sure how much but she makes them a ton of money so they have to pick up a lot of it if not all.

She tells you why the people get the cars on the show. She even shows you some of the peoples cars they have. A lot of people wrote in that they needed a new car or someone wrote in for them. The rest of her show is awsome she really does have a big heart...

The cars were donated by Pontiac, the taxes were paid, and all of the people on the show were given a car because they needed it. I read that either on MSN news or CNN news. I was crying my eyes out throughout the whole show.
