It’s Tuesday. Oh, the humanity!

A few days ago, we reported on an eye-popping crash between a Chevrolet Silverado pickup and a C8 Corvette in Thornton, Colorado. The truck rolled over the C8 head-on at a four-way stop, effectively crushing the roof. Corvette driver Robert Widom and his wife Lisa were in the car, and while their blood pressure surely shot up to the sky, both walked away from the incident without injury.

The driver of the truck was arrested on suspicion of DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired), police told Road & Track.

“At first, I didn’t think he was going to come at me; I thought he was going to make a left-hand turn,” Widom commented on a Facebook post. “By the time that was processed in my mind, it was too late.”

According to the City of Thornton’s fire department, three different fire companies responded to the call and had to remove one of the Silverado’s wheels to free the Widoms.

“After the initial impact, the truck driver continued to accelerate, only stopping after some incredible witnesses intervened,” Widom said. “I yelled at them to turn off the truck since it was leaking antifreeze on us.”

After a “nerve-wracking” wait, Widom said it took the first responders 20 minutes to free them from the C8.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the C8’s engineering—it held up amazingly well,” Widom said.

It’s Monday. The girlfriend and I had some errands to run Saturday evening. After getting those done, we decided to take a spin around the neighborhood and check out some of the Halloween decorations. I turned on channel 107 Scream radio on Sirius/XM and it was windy, lightly raining, and chilly which made for a perfect spooky season mood. We were out for a couple hours and found all kinds of really cool displays. This year anything giant was popular. Twelve foot skeletons, eighteen food ghouls, and twenty foot demons towered over everything. I wish they had stuff like this back when I was a kid. If I wanted a creepy scarecrow, I had to create it myself by stuffing a pair of old jeans and a shirt with leaves from the yard. Anyway, we had a great time driving around and we look forward to at least one more spooky cruise before Halloween.

I put a few of the photos that we took into a gallery below. Enjoy!

Oh, I didn’t watch the Bears game, but I heard Fields was injured. And, of course, they lost.

It’s Friday! The weekend is here once again and here in Illinois it looks like we’re in for a wet & chilly one. That sucks because the last outdoor car show of the season, the Fall Classic, is this Sunday. Even if it stops raining, the high temperature is only supposed to be in the low 50s on Sunday. Wet and cold aren’t exactly preferred conditions for an outdoor show held in a soggy field.

A couple years ago there was a woman that I knew only as Ms. B who used to send in photos of herself. Actually, I think it may have been her boyfriend who sent them in—I’m not totally sure. Anyway, her emails suddenly stopped and I haven’t heard from either of them in nearly two years. Some of her last photos were Halloween themed, so I thought I’d rerun two of them today for Spooky Season. And who knows, maybe one or both of them are still out there and I can find out why they suddenly went dark.

Anyway, enjoy the amateur photos along with the usual Friday double babes & double jokes!
