The holidays are the greatest time of year. With laughter and good cheer, being spread for all to hear. With carols being sung, and lots of baking getting done. What child could resist, getting a Jack Frost kiss. Building Frosty in the snow, sledding down the snowy slopes. Decking the halls with boughs of holly, trimming the tree, and being jolly. With so many fun family traditions to be had, how could anyone be sad. Tell us, friends: what is your favorite Christmas time tradition?

Santa's Reindeer

The story behind Santa's reindeer comes from a compilation of two different poems written almost a hundred years a part. In 1823, Clement C. Moore wrote a poem called, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," in which he described in detail what the magical figure looked like and gave him eight flying reindeer. This story is also known as "Twas a Night Before Christmas" in modern times. Once the eight reindeer were established, a hundred years later, Robert L. May wrote a poem using the same rhyme as Moore's called "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" in 1939. The rest, as they say, is history. While all nine reindeer have their place within the holiday's we want to know: which reindeer is your favorite?

The World's Most Dangerous Roads: Bolivia's Death Road

As roadways become more sophisticated and structurally sound in the more developed countries, we forget that in many underdeveloped third world countries, roads without any form of safety precautions. Many roads still remain unpaved, lacking guardrails, retaining walls and switchbacks that keep motorists safe while traveling to and from their destinations. 

One road that remains treacherous for drivers is the so-called "Death Road" in Bolivia. Known locally as Bolivia's Old Yungas Road, this dangerous 40-mile stretch of unpaved roadway is known for its sharp turns, plunging guardrail-free cliffs, and steep hills. Don't be fooled by the recent construction,  this deadly drive claims more than 100 lives each year.

Fall Car Maintenance Tip: Windshield Wipers for Snow


In winter, snow, fog and rain can seriously impair your visibility while driving. That is why it is important to inspect your vehicles wiper blades before winter hits. Wiper blades usually only have a lifespan of one year, so be sure if that time has elapsed that you replace them. 








A good way to check your wiper blades, is to check and see if your vehicle has the newer "beam blade" style wipers. The beam style blades doesn't contain an external spring to freeze up, which make them better for winter.

If you're stuck in the snow or any other freezing or below freezing weather, do not forget to turn off your wipers when you park. This allows your wiper motor's to not fight to get frozen wipers moving again
. Another trick to avoid your wipers freezing is to pop them up. This makes it much easier to scrape your windshield when it gets covered in ice and snow.

Haunted Roads: Harrison Avenur's Dead Mans Curve



In Cincinnati along Harrison Avenue there is a sharp turn given the name, Dead Mans Curve, due to all the fatalities. The legend is that a phantom hitchhiker walks the roadside, instilling drivers with a sense of fear and panic. While many never see the phantoms face, those that have say he is burned to the bone, with flesh hanging from his decaying face.  They say that the hitchhiker is the ghost of a molasses truck driver from 1953 who failed to make the final curve. The driver bowled over a pole and went through an entire block before ending in the kitchen of a first floor apartment. While the driver was still alive, the propane tank that heated the molasses exploded and he burned to death. Could this phantom hitchhiker be the ghost of the truck driver? Or is he just a figment of peoples overactive imaginations.

Chevrolets to D-I-E for.

While many people don't associate horror movies with cars, these spook-tacular Chevy's prove that even vehicles can give you nightmares.

Jeepers, creepers....where'd ya get them peepers
Jeepers, creepers...where'd ya get those eyes
Gosh oh, git up....how'd they get so lit up
Gosh oh, gee oh....how'd they get that size 






1. Halloween if filled with tricks and treats, but this movie definitely wont give you something good to eat. Featuring a menacing Chevy CEO, this film may give you nightmares all the way to the garage. Don't worry though, your eyes will most likely remain in your head and attached to your brain, as long as the creeper doesn't get a hankering for flesh.

2. Worried your wild side may take over this Halloween? Let loose, but be sure you don't let the fun go to your head..you wouldn't want to end up the latest victim to a psychopathic stunt man's  "death-proof" 1971 Chevy Nova stunt car. While he may stage his victims murders with his cars, this Halloween it is safe to say you may want to avoid getting into cars with strangers.
