Yes, the current image does a kinda-sorta serviceable job of illustrating the trope, but it doesn't have the necessary sex appeal. It's an ugly, low-res computer model viewed from above, which makes it look like a toy rather than an imposing metal beast. How's about one of the most iconic trucks in recent film history, the War Rig from Mad Max: Fury Road?

Opening and the suggestion seems better.

Alternatively, there's the other Big Badass Rig from the movie: [1]

Nah, the War Rig has a much more recognisably trucky silhouette than the Doof Wagon. The latter's neat, but it's basically a concert stage with a bit of truck sticking out the bottom.

Well, that seems a very solid consensus. Should we work out a caption for it?

I'm not sure it needs one, but we can always go for "And you shall arrive at the gates of Valhalla, shiny and chrome!"

I don't know about you, but "shiny" isn't the first adjective I'd think of seeing that. tongue Yes, I know where it's from.

[up]The movie itself. Clearly, you have not seen it. Rectify this if you have any love for big dumb-but-in-a-smart-way action spectacle.

I've been meaning to but have missed every opportunity I've had so far.

No caption discussion to date; locking up.
