That said, I don't think they're too ugly.
Wait, now all I can see is that green face on the grille.
Nevermind.

After a comet causes a radiation storm on Earth, machines come to life and turn against their makers. Holed up in a North Carolina truck stop, a group of survivors must fend for themselves against a mass of homicidal trucks. A diner cook, Bill Robinson (Emilio Estevez), emerges as the unlikely leader of the pack, attempting to find an escape plan for himself and the survivors, who include his boss, Bubba Hendershot (Pat Hingle), and a newlywed couple.
Release date: July 25, 1986

Oh man, it's been awhile...
I can still remember clear as day how much fun they had making it look like the trucks were shifting themselves through all those gears, with the shift ***** flying all over.
...And that idiot at the end trying to pull the diamond ring off the finger getting mowed down...

Thank you for making this thread. I actually found it through a google search. I tried searching within FTE, but had 33 pages of results for OBS.
Wish there was a decoder thread or sticky for new members trying to decipher some of these abbreviations.
Glad I found it because it applies to my truck.
