Contestant Passes Up New Car, Wins New Boat on 'Price Is Right'

Not everyone wants a new car. Take Dakota, for example, a contestant on Wednesday's 'The Price Is Right' (weekdays, syndicated on CBS). Dakota was offered a package that included kitchen appliances, dinner for a year, and a Ford sedan in the Showcase Showdown. He passed that on to his opponent, Abigail.

Instead, Dakota got a package that included kite-boarding gear, a kite-surfing trip to New Zealand, and a sailboat. "He's really happy about the sailboat," said host Drew Carey. Abigail bid $26,311 on her package, and Dakota bid a flat $28,000 on his.

Dakota apparently knows his aquatic equipment. Abigail was off by more than $5,000, while Dakota missed by only $551. He wound up winning $42,137 worth of gear, which we think will suit him just fine.
