TRAVERSE CITY -- Many people have thought of getting a chance at Oprah's favorite things -- but one local woman did!

Sandy Routhier of Brimley is now the proud owner of a 2012 shiny, red Volkswagen bug -- all thanks to Oprah. The big reveal at Traverse City Motors brought her family and friends out to congratulate her Thursday afternoon.

Routhier went to Oprah's Ultimate Favorite Things show eleven months ago and says winning her very own car was beyond her wildest dreams. She even got herself a new license plate thanking Oprah.

Along with the new car, Routhier also received diamond earrings, designer clothes and even a red coach bag to match her new ride.
