Translation: thank you for not filing a stupid lawsuit against the car company because a truck sat on your car.

The truth is, they gave him the car because it will increase the amount of exposure the story gets. They arent giving him a new car because of what happened to the guy. They are giving it because of the increased exposure the story will get. Its their way of showing the public 2 things. The first being that the Malibu is extremely safe, and the second that chev is a caring company who is looking out for their customers. Its a Public relations/publicity decision. It has nothing to do with lawsuits.

It's cheaper to give a 15K car then to run a series of ads on local TV when most will just go take a shit. Usually when a car company gives someone a free car out of nowhere, it is for free advertising.

Plus he dropped a huge thanks to Chevy live on the news clip that got played not only here, but nationwide... good free advertisement like that with a chance to pile even more butter on top of yourself for the cost of 1 car... shit of course they are all over that.
One things for sure though... homeboy needs to take a trip to Vegas, and fast! |

On a happier topic, the gauge cluster on my sled died and I discovered that the deluxe gauge cluster from an M8 will work on my T500 (including the altimeter). Much nicer setup.

I too think of everything resulting in a law suit.. because that's usually how it goes. I think it's great what Chevy did though even if it is only for publicity.
Last I heard the cell phone lady was contemplating a lawsuit against someone.. I think the security guards for lack of response.
