I remember this post from way back in the days (before Tom Co user) http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?s=&postid=2578317#post2578317

I was around the airport area visiting some friends, when I spotted a truck that looked like that old rice-truck, but without the ugly spoiler now. (can anyone confirm it's the same vehicle?)

If it is, took him long enough to realize, but at least Beyond did it's job.

Lol @ the concept of a "Rice Truck"...
Especially a BIG truck. I expected to see a Chevy S10 initially...

However (and feel free to hate on me for the following observation if you want...) a spoiler on THAT vehicle actually makes MORE sense than on a FWD car such as that 1200 horsepower Focus (http://forums.beyond.ca/st/219670/spotted-1200-hp-ford-focus/) since at least the truck could USE the extra traction generated from downforce to the back wheels.

Still looks pretty goofy. Especially on a large truck.
