Trivia

• In the companion guide, it is called "Mad Truck" in all versions of the game.
  • Its description reads, "It's an enormous eighteen-wheel semi, driving recklessly even though no one's at the helm: it's under the aliens' control. Makes a lot of appearances in Thanksgiving. It emits exhaust fumes at you, so the asthmatic protagonist will especially want to beware of fits.".
