Top Halloween Destinations: Terror at the Theme Park

Orlando, Florida is entertainment central year-round, but in October, it kicks into horror mode. What’s great about this Halloween destination is that it’s got something for every age group and preference.

If you want something truly terrifying, Universal Studios Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights is considered one of the top Halloween events in the country by many authorities including Amusement Today and HauntWorld magazines. People who attend universally say that it’s like walking right into a horror movie – you will scream and shriek the night away!

Want something for the kids, something that’s more on the cute side? Look no further than Disney World the ultimate genius at making a perfect G-rated world that fits your every fun fantasy! Attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on the selected dates with your family for a wonderful Halloween adventure with a parade, costumed characters, and special spooky lighting and effects throughout the Magic Kingdom. The evening is topped off, of course, with a Halloween fireworks display (Disney has the best fireworks displays in the world, in my opinion).

50 Most Famous Cars of All Time: The 2009 Chevrolet Camaro Replica

Where It’s From: Transformers [2007] film

Claim to Fame: Autobot scout, “Bumblebee,” begins the movie as a 1977 Camaro, but “transforms” into a 2009 Camaro. In reality, the car used was actually a rebodied Pontiac GTO brilliantly modeled and rebadged to be a dead-ringer for the Camaro concept car that debuted at the North American International Auto Show in 2006.

Chevy Traverse 2LT Named One of "10 Best Vehicles for Fall Tailgating"

 Two less expensive trim levels slot in below the Traverse 2LT, but it offers the best tailgating accessories and options.

Seating: As many as seven passengers can stretch out in comfort. The second row is comprised of twin captain's chairs, while the third row is a split bench seat.

Cargo: There is more than 24 cubic feet of hauling room behind the third-row seat. With the second- and third-row seats folded flat, it can carry up to 118 cubic feet of cargo.

Convenience: Also standard on the 2LT is a power lift gate and rearview camera to aid in backing into tight spaces.

Features: Three-zone climate control lets passengers in the rear adjust the temperature to their liking. A Bose 10-speaker audio system provides the tunes. It has a CD player and auxiliary input jack. Upping the ante by $1,470 gains the Rear Seat Entertainment System with its Bose 5.1 surround sound, DVD player and an eight-inch color monitor, as well as a 110-volt household outlet. Every Traverse is powered by the same 3.6-liter V-6 engine that's married to a six-speed driver-shiftable automatic transmission. This combination delivers 281 horsepower.

Price: Base price for the Traverse 2LT is $35,240.

The 1963 Corvette Stignray: One of the "15 Classic Cars That Define Cool"

1963 Corvette Sting Ray
While nothing was wrong with the Corvette prior to ’63, when the Sting Ray rolled out it made the previous models look like chopped liver (fast & still somewhat attractive chopped liver). Besides the new look, the C2 Corvette was a bit lighter and handled far better than its predecessors. While some nice stylistic changes would be made in the coming years, there’s something about being first.
