Redditor valardohaerisx spotted this scene on the highway near Idaho Springs, Colorado. While refreshingly seasonal, one has to wonder why they felt the need to use ratchet straps to secure a pumpkin on top of the vehicle. From the comments, here are the most plausible reasons, not at all ranked in the order of likelihood.
1. The kids in the backseat were fighting over who gets to hold the pumpkin. And the trunk is full.
2. Dad recently bought ratchet straps and by golly, he's going to use them.
3. You don't put a dirty vegetable inside a Lexus!
4. The car is already full of pumpkins.
5. It worked for the Christmas tree.
6. Someone in the car is allergic to pumpkin.
7. "Because one stray "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo" from a passenger, and you got a big freakin' horse carriage in your backseat."
8. Because it's funny.
A good time was had by all.

Not only pride it's the law. That keeps people from smuggling poached pumpkins.

#9 It's hunting season and they just bagged a mature and ripened elusive orange pumpkin which must be displayed on top of their car for all to see and admire this majestic trophy.
