3. RANDOM SWEEPSTAKES DRAWING: A random drawing will occur on June 13, 2011, in Chicago, Ill., at 4:00 p.m. (CT) from among all eligible entries received under the supervision of the Administrator, an independent judging organization, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to this Sweepstakes.

Winner must have a valid U.S. or Canadian driver's license and proof of insurance to take delivery of vehicle prize.

It's tempting to choose a high-end car like the ZR1 or the CTS-V, etc. But you have to pay the taxes on the car, the insurance, and the taxes on the cash prize so it becomes such a burden.

If you win, you HAVE to get a ZR-1, it doesn't make any sense not to. Win it and sell it. Pay the taxes. You'd come out way ahead and can then buy 2 Camaro 2SS'.

I tried to enter but my OnStar isn't the right type =( apparently it only works on the updated stuff. As weird as it may sound I want a freaking 2011 Acadia Denali as my family car eventually so if I were to win I'd choose that & store it for a few years until I have kids to save me $50K in the future lol

Hi Mod `Mike, Ted & Member's,
That's one Burden that I would gladly accept `if I won...
I would find a way to pay 4 the insurance, taxes etc...
To be able to own & drive a ZR-1 ~> WoW...it's a great dream 4-Sure...
I would only drive it on perfect weather days, and never leave sight of it when I'm out having Smok'in tire burning ~> fun : ) I would not abuse `it, but I would drive it aggresively 4-Sure : ) I wonder how the ZR1's are holding their value ? The last generation they made them, they did not hold their value : (

It would be super `if one of our Member's did Win this contest...If you don't have OnStar, I think it's worth buying a stamp 43cents & taking the time to mail it in...I did already
It's worth the `Dream : )

Good Luck to all that enter...It could `be~> You WoW We's
