Description
Nesto Alvarado's truck is a yellow 1980s model Nissan Hardbody. It has definitely seen better years. The body is dented and scraped, and rust shows through where the paint has been damaged. The interior fabric has been worn smooth and is torn in places. However, thanks to Nesto's uncanny ability to repair any damaged machine, the truck is fully functional.
The truck was awakened late in the summer of 2006. At the instant of its awakening, the grill ornament inexplicably changed from the Nissan logo to the RNA-like symbol pictured at the right. Since that time the truck has been Nesto's faithful, constant and ever-vigilant companion.
