Behold the majesty of Masuka's truck

A recent episode of Showtime's
Dexter titled
"Blinded By the Light" was probably one of the weakest episodes in recent memory, but one moment saved it from becoming a total yawn-fest: Masuka's bad ass truck.
For those who don't know the backstory, Dexter got in a very serious accident while driving home from a recent kill and fell asleep behind the wheel. He suffered a concussion and doctor's orders prevented him from driving. So one night, Masuka drives our boy home in the biggest, most bad ass 4-by-4 with lighting painted down the sides, suspension that reached the sky and a stereo system that could let him listen to loud, obnoxious country music from space.
Sounds like Dexter isn't the only one trying to wear a "mask" to hide a deep, dark secret.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this bad boy. I made the comment to my wife it reminds me of the State Farm commercial with the Asian guy in his car singing along to Kansas... made me laugh twice.
Here's a link to the commercial on YouTube so you can laugh too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1-0N_ADy8Q

It reminds me of The Salton Sea. B.D. Wong was a country dressing Asian dude with a big ass truck. However, it's much more funny with Masuka in the driving seat because we all know what kind of guy he is. Compensate much?

It was a rare highlight!
Still among the very best on TV, Dexter seems a bit flat this season. The Angel-LaGuerta hookup was a terrible idea (Quinn's even more dull) - but at least Vince is still Vince. I also liked the first episode's "riff" on the opening credits... but the usual sparks are lacking this year, for me.
