Woman sues radio station over car makeover

PITTSBURGH, Penn. (AP) — A woman who won a radio contest to customize her truck said the vehicle was altered so much she can't drive it.

Colleen Kuczinski, of Pittsburgh, sued Clear Channel Communications and radio station WKST-FM for breach of contract last week in Allegheny County Court.

Kuczinski won the station's "Freak My Ride" contest, in which five people had their beater cars customized. She said she thought her 1986 Chevy S-10 pickup would get a new paint job and stereo and that the work would only be cosmetic.

Instead, according to the suit, her truck underwent extensive mechanical alterations, including an improperly installed suspension.

"It's beautiful, but not drivable," said Kuczinski, 39. "The frame was cut. It was held together with speaker wires."

Clear Channel said it doesn't comment on litigation.

The owner of a garage that did later repairs on the pickup said the new work had been miswired and that a new suspension system damaged the drive shaft. Kuczinski tried to get Clear Channel to pay for repairs, but negotiations broke down, said her lawyer, Joseph Luvara.
