TONKA

I seem to remember Stephen King writing somewhere that the mantis flips over a truck or bus or something, and that you could read the work "TONKA" on the underside. I've rented the movie to look for that scene, but haven't spotted it. Am I thinking of the right movie?

According to this site: http://www.moviemistakes.com/film341 it was a bus.

That's right. When I was your age, television was called books.

A belated thanks. I like your signature, by the way.
