On the street we go to watch the sunset, this strange truck has been parked for weeks. I have never seen a truck like it. Weird.
And even weirder is this...
It's name is Scorpion! Never would I EVER sit in this truck!

I have never seen a truck like that either. I wonder what that thing on the back is for.
You picked the perfect quote to go with this strange truck.
I just checked it out. You can read up about them here:

It might be more involved, but I think the contraption on the back can be attached to various vehicles in construction and acts as a shock absorber if someone drives into it.
its really cool and I just read all about it. https://www.traffixdevices.com/products/attenuators/scorpion2-tma
I have seen a few of these in our area. The scorpion attachment on the trucks is used as a mobile crash cushion that supports the vehicle's frame. I don't like seeing that big ol' scorpion but I guess it does get the attention of people passing by.
I've never seen anything like that before either. Very interesting reading about it.
Never seen that around before. Interesting
Yes that was a mighty interesting truck. After reading the comments I know understand what it's purpose is. Loved the quote.
