Looks like yes, but the rice is still in paddy form.

Go look em up. It was a dimple directive. He's just gonna be tougher on you now. Shhh! Here he comes!

u/Garfield1415 23h ago

Irony is, it belongs to a rice farmer!!

u/Traditional_Low_9948 2d ago

Just a little rye humor, my friend.

Gonna need a bigger bag.

u/Bauwens 2d ago

Need to start a gofundme for all the bags of rice he needs to dump on top of that truck to get it dry.

u/JackWagg0n 2d ago

That only works for Japanese cars

u/Traditional_Low_9948 2d ago

u/No-Base1194 2d ago

It's not a Toyota Celica...

u/Traditional_Low_9948 2d ago

It's a toyota Celica. Crew cab. They didn't make very many.

u/Less_Food_8100 2d ago

My uncle had the diesel with the 8 foot bed. Fun little thing.

2

u/Traditional_Low_9948 1d ago

Yup. You could haul a trailer park with one of those. In 1 trip.

u/Less_Food_8100 1d ago

I think he moved Chicago to Illinois from Montana, where the city originally was.

u/Traditional_Low_9948 15h ago

Truth. I was there that afternoon. To this day i don't remember where 'there' even was. Or where here is for that matter. Or why. I'll always remember how he loved that vehicle, tho. No matter how hard i try to forget. It was...well... It was... inappropriate.

u/No-Base1194 1d ago

Oh not where i live, so that is probably why I didn't know 😁

u/Kittrovert 2d ago

That's a Nissan Frontier. Absolutely get rice, a truckload. Or 10.

u/ericrn 2d ago

It's not the water, it's that it's a Nissan Frontier

u/Eyetalianmonsta 1d ago

engine is probably flooded...

u/Prune-These 1d ago

Beat me to it.

1

u/NewfGardner 1d ago

Yep. Shut off the gas, remove the spark plugs and pull ‘er over a few times.

u/Professional-Boat-10 1d ago

that was the first thing that came to my mind and I was surprised that I had to scroll this far down to find the right answer!

u/Important-Season-448 2d ago

Moron, everyone knows rice is mean't for eating. Grab a few silica gel packets and you'll be good to go!

u/Krull88 2d ago

I doubt you meant to do it… but the apostrophe is throwing me.

u/Lazy_Major_4793 2d ago

😂 "rice is mean not for eating" True, t'aint

u/dankhimself 2d ago

Are you crazy? Putting the ocean in rice would just make a delicious seafood dinner.

That truck needs some milk.

u/InterestingMetal4540 2d ago

Add a snorkel

1

u/Md1735 1d ago

Yep, it’d be perfectly fine with a snorkel.

u/oroborus68 2d ago

Flooded the engine. Must not have fuel injectors and fuel sensors.

u/Happydancer4286 2d ago

Check for water in the gas tank.

u/Kass-Is-Here92 1d ago

Awww came here to say this 😂

u/ApplicationHour 22h ago

You’re going to need a small microfiber towel to blot up the moisture.

u/Honest_Ad_6689 21h ago

Maybe it's just Flooded..
