Car dealer to give Florida pastor Terry Jones new vehicle for not burning Quran

[^_^ 5,021]

A New Jersey car dealer plans to keep his word after offering Florida pastor Terry Jones a new car if he promised to not burn a Quran.

Car dealer Brad Benson made the offer in one of his dealership's quirky radio ads, which focus more on current events than cars. But he was surprised when a representative for Jones called to collect the 2011 Hyundai Accent, which retails for $14,200.

"They said unless I was doing false advertising, they would like to arrange to pick up the car," Benson recalled. At first he thought it was a hoax, so Benson asked Jones to send in a copy of his driver's license. He did.

Jones, of Gainesville, Fla., never burned a Quran but told The Associated Press on Thursday that the offer of a car was not the reason.

The pastor will have to pick up the car at Brad Benson Mitsubishi Hyundai in South Brunswick so he can fill out paperwork. No date has been set for the handover.

I wish I could get a new car for not acting like a total twit.

He's not being given a new car. He's getting a 1 year prepaid lease. He has to give it back after 1 year.

One person on the radio suggested that Brad write quotes from the Koran on the side of car before he gives it to him.

I hope they do it! + post pictures and do a candid camera of how he reacts when he sees it...

Would you settle for a cookie?

How about an email from a Nigerian businessman who wants to give you $18.7 million?

He's giving ME $18.7 million. I already sent him the money he asked for.
