If you have won the race and get to choose, which prize will you take back home? Which one is actually worth more? :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
-
Gas for life would do me tbh.
-
I would want to have free business class flights, free gas, and money. So even though the money prize is big in TAR US, but TAR Canada prize is better.
-
Gas for life would be great and very appreciated here in Brazil :funny:
-
A big difference in Canada that narrows the gap: Canada doesn't tax prizes.
Whereas in the US, Uncle Sam takes like 40% of it.
-
Then I definitely want the gas for life. I think they underestimate what you could spend on gas lol.
-
Not me. Unlimited travel? Would quit the day job and spend a year traveling again. That alone would be worth way more than a million dollars.
-
Free gas is one of the best prizes out there! I would pay for all of my, and my friends' and co-workers', fuel expenses if I won that. Even if I won a lottery jackpot let alone the $1 million for winning TAR, nothing would really change drastically. I would still feel the instinct to budget and save money.
The unlimited business class flights seals the deal though. I could trace an entire TAR season in style.
-
I'll take free gas for life and free business flights (even for 1 year) over 1,000,000$ any day.
-
Free business class I would be somewhere new every week! TARCAN WINS!
-
One would be crazy in my opinion to pick the million.
-
Two things...
1: Jon said at the starting line of Season 3 that this year's prize totaled almost $1 million, unless I misheard him.
2: When the Bransen Family won "free gas for life" back in season 8, they revealed later that there were quite a few stipulations to this, and that "for life" was just an attractive little label that didn't really mean "forever, infinitely until you die".
-
That might mean that there was a set amount of gas, they had evaluated should be enough for your life. :lol:

This would be so that, for example, you don't buy gas for all your friends and co-workers. :)
The website said it uses 50 years in order to evaluate the value of the gas for life prize. Not sure whether that is a limit or simply an actuarial estimate for valuation purposes.

I would still share the gas. :funny: 50 years.... that's still a lot in my perspective. I would be ecstatic if the estimate is even a year of free gas.
