She said in the comments of this video (it is actually her; her comments link to her YouTube channel with some older videos of herself) that she's selling it.

After the Oprah "You Get a Car!" episode, I think many people are aware of the tax implications of accepting these prizes. It's always better to sell the car unless you were planning to buy a car in the first place and it's exactly what you wanted.

She'll definitely come out ahead of the $25,000 pre-tax cash prize that she would have won if she didn't go for the car. She played a heck of a game considering she actually won it on her first free pick and the three good price guesses for the appliances were just an exhibition.

I'd sell it and get something faster. I destroyed one on track a few months ago and lost a bit of respect for the V8 vantage.

That's true of all late model Astons, V8 or V12 models. They look cool and sound great, but they aren't the type of number defying cars like a V8 Ferrari or V10 Lambo.

sometimes going faster isn't necessary. the vantage just looks so nice.
