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.
