"It is up to each individual, which then moves to your family, which moves to your community. Each person, in their own life, let your life be a light for peace, for justice, for all that is good. Just let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine." --Oprah Winfrey

276 Pontiacs

Millions have watched Oprah daily, for 18 years. But to celebrate the premiere of her 19th season, she promised to do the "biggest thing I've ever done." Winfrey opened the show by calling 11 people onto the stage. She gave each of them a car -- a Pontiac G6! She then had gift boxes distributed to the rest of the audience and said one of the boxes contained keys to a 12th car. But when everyone opened the boxes, each of 276 boxes had a set of keys to the $28,000 car, generously donated by Pontiac. "Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" Winfrey yelled as the audience screamed, cried, and hugged each other!
