The GoldenEagle- The Most Evil Car in America

The GoldenEagle- The Most Evil Car in America

Recently my family and I watched the 1983 movie, Christine by Stephen King and directed by John Carpenter to get into the Halloween spirit this year. As a kid, that movie made me afraid of my grandpa’s 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car, afraid it would gobble my brother and me while waiting for my grandpa to emerge from the convenient store. Over the years I got over it, but not before scaring my brother with stories about grandpa’s car crushing him if he didn’t leave me alone. After watching the movie, I wanted to learn a little bit about the car and movie.
Christine is a 1958 Plymouth Fury that made more money than the unknown actors of the movie. 15% of the movie's budget was spent on the 23 cars the film-makers acquired by placing ads across the country. There are only three mint condition Christines remained after the movie wrapped up and used for promotion and a fourth, save from the wrecker, was sold to a man. All of this got me thinking, “Could there be a “real life” Christine out in the world claiming lives in mysterious ways?” Turns out there is.

The GoldenEagle 

The GoldenEagle is a Limited Edition 1964 Dodge 330 that is labeled the Most Evil Car in America. It’s current owner, Wendy Allen tells the history of this ominous vehicle as originally being purchased as a police car for Old Orchard Beach, ME. It was then sold to a local man after all three officers to ever drive the vehicle died in bizarre murder-suicides, killing their families and themselves. It then wound up in Allen’s family's position. During this time, the Dodge claimed the lives of 14 people according to Allen. But it turns out the death toll is higher than that. In the 80s and 90s members of different local churches vandalized the car and Allen claims all 32 people died under strange circumstances, 4 of them being hit by lightning. Children became victims as well. Two children, one in the 60s and one in the 80s, were hit by cars and flung across the street to land either under the bumper or on the hood of the GoldenEagle. More recently, after being dared to touch the Dodge, a kid murdered his family and the family dog then burned down the home. In 2010, another church group took it upon themselves to rid the evil car by stealing the car, chopped it up, and distributed it to various junkyards. They believed a demon was living in the car. After Allen searched and asked for help from the internet to retrieve the scattered parts, the church group labeled her, “The Sea Witch of Old Orchard Beach,” and claims she uses the car to cast death spells. After all this, the GoldenEagle never turned on the Allen family as violently as it did to these unlucky folks.

A Helpful App

                                                              apple.com  A Helpful App We all want to be safe on the road, as well as others. But some of us can't help being on our phone or becoming distracted with other things while driving. Thankfully there are a few hand-free options out there, and Apple's CarPlay is one of them.

It relies on Siri voice commands so you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Keep in mind, CarPlay is an app, it doesn't replace your standard entertainment system. Your c...

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis?

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis? We live in a society where people typically drive their vehicles for a short period and do not actually pay them off before jumping into a new one. There can be many reasons for this. This means that the total amount that they owed on the previous vehicle is tacked onto the new one so. Therefore, many people are indebted to their vehicles more than they are with their actual home loans. For these types of people, leasing a vehicle sounds like a good option because you get a new one every two years. The only issue with this is that you are only allowed a certain number of miles per year. So, for those of us who travel long distances every day back and forth to work, school or traveling, leasing is not the best option. We exceed the number of allotted miles in only a few months. The Alternative to Leasing A Vehicle So, what does someone do that travels great distances every day to be able to lease or to fit within the qualifications of a l...
