Calendar Updated (Season 42 Themed Shows)

[Mr. Weatherman]

Consider more unclaimed this week as players can't come up with $10,000 in taxes for them.

Why? Cars have resale value. I'm no expert on this subject, but as long as the winning contestant agrees to sell the car, I'm sure a bank would lend them the money needed to pay the taxes.

Or maybe all car games played that week will be played for luxury automobiles, or perhaps they might offer a vintage car each day.

Yeah, it's probably going to be one of these, or offering a luxury car in a showcase each day. No way are they going to play 30 consecutive games for cars.

[Wayoshi]

This is exactly what I think.  Still two car games, but more expensive cars, or special cars, and still play the same old darn super hard car games because we don't actually want to give any of them away

That's not the way he said/thought of it.

You do not understand why "FTFY"/"Fixed that for you." is used, do you?

My good friend Equifax would like a word with you on that subject.

Basically, bad credit, no load for taxes.  Bank likely won't budge because, in the world of money, they don't trust anyone with a 500 score to do anything.

You wouldn't owe $10,000 up front.  The only thing you have to pay before getting the prize is the California state withholding.  Last I checked, that's 7%.  Even if you win a $60,000 car, that would be a state tax bill of $4,200.  You wouldn't owe the federal taxes until the end of the year, and that would normally give you plenty of time to sell it if you need to do so.

[Cyclone]

Well, let's take it a step further, then.  Let's assume the $281,000 car returns during that week.  7% is almost $20,000 alone - enough for many new cars.  If the Dream Cars that week are these, do you think they'll get claimed?

If, in the unlikely event, the contestant who wins the $280K+ car also wins $26,000 on the Big Wheel, it's possible.
