On Wednesday, Seaman's Apprentice Renz Michael Palaylay won a Hyundai Elantra and said he could not believe his good luck.
Farmers Insurance donated the car, in collaboration with Caliber Collision-Spring Valley and the Armed Services YMCA San Diego
Palaylay, who brought his wife and 23-month-old daughter with him to pick up the completely refurbished 2015 Hyundai, said he was speechless about the development and that he -- like most of us -- never wins these things.
The giveaway is part of the National Auto Body Council’s (NABC) Recycled Rides program.
