A Wheel-y Great Surprise!

Earlier this month, OPRAH WINFREY put her audience in the driver's seat. All 276 people in the audience were given new Pontiacs. General Motors donated the cars, worth $28,000 each. "This year on Oprah, no dream is too wild," Winfrey said. The lucky, new car owners cried and hugged before hitting the road. Who says there's no such thing as a free ride?
