Happy Halloween

[Pile of parts]

Brought home a donor drivetrain on Saturday and had an idea of what to do with it for now...

Fortunately, nobody was hurt in the actual wreck.

THIS. IS. THE. BEST. EVER.

This is super awesome!

Idea for next time this happens....add a fog machine under the hood.

I wanted to do that but it all came together with not enough time. I even thought about dry ice. Again, not enough time - I had to borrow a can of spaghetti-o's from the neighbor for the brain splatter. 🤣

What kind of reactions did you get from the kids and such walking around?

Crying. At least thats what my sensitive and sheltered children responses would have been.

Did the cops ever get called?! 😂

Reactions varied but everyone seemed to like it. There was true fear as people rounded the corner and had to come by to check it out to make sure it wasn't real. It was fun to answer the door and hear the comments. One kid, about 8-10, wanted to know how I "made" the car look like that... I hope he didn't go home and start on his parents car. The problem is that some of my neighbors got so caught up in it that they were telling me how we were going to improve it next year. Unfortunately, this was a pure timing "decoration" and I had to remind them of that. One even suggested I pull the drivetrain and keep the rest around.

No, the cops never came by but my wife was pretty concerned about that. One neighbor suggested I call dispatch to let them know ahead of time. However, I'm no stranger to explaining myself to authority so I thought it might be fun.😉

This was way better than carving pumpkins! I'm just afraid that I'm a "one and done..."

The one thing I didn't do - but REALLY wanted to, was drive down to the gas station or cruise the grocery store parking lot about 10:00 last night with the blood and guts on it.
I would haver certainly done that in my younger days!
