Haunted Highways: Clinton Road in West Milford, New Jersey

The town of West Milford, New Jersey appears to be your typical American town. People live, work, go to school; live their day-to-day lives without any interruption. Except, for one; Clinton Road in West Milford. This desolate stretch of dark highway, encased in thick forest, is home to a dark, bloody history.  The ten-mile stretch of road wont just chill you to the bone, but make you question what you see. With reports of ghosts, phantom vehicles, and strange creatures being seen on or beside the road, one only knows what could happen. While the eyewitnesses to these ghostly tales are few and fare between, would you be willing to take a late night drive to prove them wrong?

Toyota to Sell Hot Pink Crown

In an attempt to rid itself of its conservative image, Toyota announced it will be selling a hot pink version of its 2014 Crown. While this may seem like a bold move, the edgier design of the fourteenth-generation Elect fuchsia Crown could be just what Toyota needs to step up its game. While many have said Toyota's bold move may be a bit over the top, we think it's a step in the right direction. Besides, what woman could say no to a hot pink car?
