Who is going to this???

ok, my accountant has it all worked out on what we will have to pay and all of that. i understand the implications of "my duty" to the IRS. I also know what the car is worth (MSRP and retail), and what I would have to pay and loose with the car monetary-wise. hey, if we sell this for 50% of what the car is worth (after taxes and all) I am still up! I was part owner of a car lot so I know how this works and how the money aspect moves with vehicles.
I understand all of you guys getting pissed off at me for selling this, and not "standing up" to my wife, but this is not a practical car for me/us now. I own a company and money does not grow on trees (unless you are a tree farmer). I am looking out for the long run of my family, my business, and the future for us. if you cant understand that than you have to grow up! I have owned many cars in the past (some of which were exotics) and I really think this car is a great car! but it is NOT PRACTICAL for where I am in life at this point!
decline the prize? so if someone came up to you and gave you $5k dollars tax free you would walk away? didnt think so, and that is if i sell this thing for a severe loss. if you want it we will talk and you can buy it!
as for pre planning....what do you mean, i can plan on winning something like this all the time? or do you mean planning after winning? the later i have done! that is why i am selling this, DUH!
so if you cant say congrats then

Congratulate you for what - for winning and then disposing of a car many people dream about owning???

I dont' often say things like this to people but this simply sucks.

So long as you obey the rules of the contest then you can do whatever the hell you want no matter what anybody here says or thinks about it but personally I find it disgusting that someone would enter a contest to win a car that they won't keep (and I can only assume they either knew they wouldn't keep or should have know their "wife" wouldn't let them) which means that someone else who may have been dreaming of a car like this all their lives can't win it.

I also wonder why you then come here and advertise the fact that you "can't" keep the car??? Are you just looking for attention?

I hope you enjoy your cash but if you are going to "point" at people and tell them to get the f**k out remember that three fingers are pointing back at you.

Entering a contest for a car that isn't practical for you only to sell it off is kind of a Dbag move.
