A Corvette!

Over $208,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Jack Garwig: Retired from the Pennsylvania State Police, from Levittown, PA
Laura Delisi: Taking time off from her career as a travel agent to be with her 18-month-old daughter, from St. Peters, MO
Dottie Decker: Bookkeeper for "the best little advertising agency in town", also volunteers at a Catholic school; from Cincinnati, OH (but born on Long Island and raised in Florida)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

You could make it a really fun vacation if you win this next prize: a handmade custom mini Adventure Boat (labeled BOAT) worth $7,162.
Laura solves PHYSICAL CONTACT.
Dottie solves THAT'S HALF THE BATTLE. Pat says that the battle is over...
...but he must have misheard something, as we have time for an extra round!
DING DING! DING DING!

In the post-game chat, Pat likes looking at Vanna's "Dumbo" dress, as she calls her blue dress with shoulders. She calls it a "Dumbo" in a good way.
Pat finds it interesting how some people react to winning. Some think $25,000 is nice, while others get super excited about it.
