Yeah, I had insurance to get home, at least I hope so. I had to drive the car about 25 miles home. Its still setting in the driveway, I have not touched it since I drove it home. lol. I guess it will set there until at least Friday.
I am going to go ahead and get it fully covered with insurance because with it being a new car, I think it would be foolish not to.

Yeah, they did. No sales tax, but I have to file the price of the car on my income tax.
The car is counts towards your total income. So if you earned $20,000 this year at your regular job, and won a car valued at $21,500, your total income for the year is $41,500, this could be enough to push you into the next tax bracket. Also when your tax bills comes due, probably somewhere around $5,000, and the IRS wants it's money within 120 days. Most likely you'll have to get on a payment plan with the IRS to pay off the taxes over time. It's certainly less than making payments on a new car loan at $21,500, it's it not exactly a free car either.
