Fla. pastor wins car for not burning Quran
Source: MSNBC

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. — A New Jersey car dealer plans to keep his word after offering Florida pastor Terry Jones a new car if he promised to not burn a Quran.

Car dealer Brad Benson made the offer in one of his dealership's quirky radio ads, which focus more on current events than cars.

But he was surprised when a representative for Jones called to collect the 2011 Hyundai Accent, which retails for $14,200.

"They said unless I was doing false advertising, they would like to arrange to pick up the car," Benson recalled.

-----

He said he plans to donate the car to an organization that helps abused Muslim women.

9. Edsels were way ahead of their time and today are worth a fortune! Give him the Pinto...
Or better still, a Pacer (cute car, but try getting parts to repair that car!)

10. You couldn't pay me to drive a Hyundai Accent.
I mean, Jesus--who are the brain surgeons who walk into the Kia/Hyundai place all aglow at the thought of picking up their brand spanking new....Hyundai Accent (bonus points if it's that crappy grey color that they always are.) It boggles the mind! :shrug:
