Have you ever traveled down a haunted highyway?

Clinton Road
With Halloween just around the corner, we got to thinking about hauntings on roads across the globe. We've heard about hauntings at various locations like houses and businesses, but rarely have we heard about paranormal occurrences on eerie stretches of highway. Sounds like it's time for a ghost hunt!

After doing some initial research, we came across Clinton Road in Passaic County, New Jersey. So what is it about this road? It's a question that is on the minds of many. While nobody can seem to answer why weird things happen here, most can attest to what they are seeing.

If you visit the road at midnight, stop by the bridge at Dead Man’s Curve for a game of catch. While you toss pennies into the water below it's said the ghost of a young boy will toss them back. Some have also reported a gray wolf with red eyes stalking drivers from the bushes. Weird lights have also been seen flying in the sky and will draw your attention upward, away from the blood stains on the pavement.

This road is certainly not for the faint of heart. Regardless of your stance on the paranormal, it is a fact that there are definitely many unexplained things occurring on this scary roadway.

While driving on these roads can be a bit unnerving, buying a new car doesn't have to be a frightening experience. Stop by our Toyota dealership and take a new car for a test drive today!

The World's Most Dizzying Road

We all love driving around in our Toyotas. Whether we are cruising around in a vintage Camry or brand-new Tundra, spending some quality time on the road can be a fun experience.

But have you ever taken time to think about the roads we drive on everyday? For instance, do you know where the most dizzying road in the world is? According to the Huffington Post, Passo dello Stelvio in the Ortler Alps in Italy has 48 hairpin turns and an average incline of 7.4% -- and 6% is about the maximum for U.S. highways.

While many of us don't travel on streets nearly as treacherous, it's still important to make sure you stay safe on the road. Don't forget to keep your Toyota in good shape and schedule a service appointment at our Merced Dealership today!
