Holy shit. Warlock must be a thing with trucks? A year or two ago I was travelling to an unfamiliar city and the person at the rental counter couldn't find my reservation. She asked, "the only vehicle we have available is a truck, is that OK?"
Whatever. Fine. The flight was delayed and I need dinner and a drink. I'm not going to be picky about a 2 day rental on a business trip.
Let's just say that expectations were exceeded (in a WTF way) when I got out to space B29 in the parking garage and got my first view of The Warlock. It was pretty much this exact truck, but in a different color and with about 100 loose acorns in the bed.
The Warlock did make an impression on our clients when I rolled up to their office the next day. The conference room was close enough to reception that I could overhear the #1 question of the day as employees drifted in or out: "who's driving The Warlock???"
This was an excellent story. Thank you. The bit with the acorns sent me.
