- Car Talk (@cartalk) [URL="https://twitter.com/cartalk/status/540881116321054720"]December 5, 2014[/URL][/INDENT]Lisa Quam recently hit the Powerball jackpot to win $90 million. Like many folks lucky enough to win, Quam says one of her first stops will be a car dealer for a new set of wheels. Her first thought isn't to choose high luxury with a [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/bentley/mulsanne/"]Bentley Mulsanne[/URL] or [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/"]Mercedes-Benz S-Class[/URL], though. Nope, she plans to buy herself a [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/forester/"]Subaru Forester[/URL], which is an eminently practical (if predictable) choice for someone residing in Washington state. Hopefully, Quam will decide to spend a few extra bucks for the turbocharged [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/subaru+forester+xt/"]XT[/URL] trim; she can definitely afford it.

For our money, Quam's [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/"]Subaru[/URL] isn't nearly as cool of a choice as the guy who decided to [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/08/powerball-winners-first-purchase-will-be-used-acura-nsx-off-cra/"]buy himself an used Acura NSX from Craigslist with his $448 million Powerball jackpot last year[/URL]. They're both keeping things modest with their newfound fortunes, though, and that strikes us as a smart move.[URL="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/12/05/wa-powerball-winner-buying-subaru-forester/"]WA woman wins $90M Powerball, plans to buy Subaru Forester[/URL] originally appeared on [URL="http://www.autoblog.com"]Autoblog[/URL] on Fri, 05 Dec 2014 15:30:00 EST.
