Creepy pickup truck
I was driving with my mother from a carboot sale. When a pickup truck drove up beside us, I thought this truck looked different. It had big square windows, of which was very high up so I could not see the driver. It had the same ora as a something from mad max, though from outward appearance is nothing unusual. I though this was a very creepy pickup. When I mentioned it to my mother she said that this truck reminded her of a movie where a truck chases someone down the road and drives up their ass, until they have an accident. Strange how we thought the same thing though my mother doesn't know anything about cars.

Have you seen the movie "Jeepers Creepers"? What you say reminds me of this. I can make my truck backfire and make all kinds of noise, and there's no muffler! Sort of what this guy does.

Check out the little doggie in the sixth photo from the right! The guy on the left holding the long box looks just like one of my undergrad professors!

I saw a truck like that today, as well. They had huge tires on the thing so that it was elevated over the rest of the cars and had painted it entirely gloss black except for the chrome grill in front. I won't mention what I call this sort of vehicle in a mixed forum; let's just say the drivers are obviously having to compensate for something missing in their lives! :lol:

Sounds like the Steven Spielberg movie "Duel".

Hahaha, that will always remind me of the one day in English class where my teacher said "I hate big trucks! I think people who drive those huge jacked-up trucks are just compensating for something." Immediately I said "Yeah... I drive a Corolla" (very small car) and got a good laugh out of the whole class.

I got called gay when my mom bought me a Corolla (she got an inheritance, but with my ADHD I totaled it after a couple years). Go figure. Big truck = overcompensating, little car = homosexual. I guess we men are limited to big cars like Buicks and the Nissan Maxima, or smaller pickups like the Ford Ranger. Not that I personally care. A new Ranger is WAY too expensive.

Was it the look of the truck, or the bad vibes coming from it that made it creepy?

Aha maybe it's just the 'Croydon effect'. I was on the street there the other day and some guy pulls up with really crap parking, like huge angle to the curb and says "you're playing a dangerous game, blud". I wasn't even eye-balling him (strangely enough). But he was in a small-medium car, not a truck.
