Yeah, I got a 'close' look at it.  I parked right next to it.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me.

Probably was a railfan's truck with BCK decal on side. I have similarly have
seen NH Pick up trucks with NH "script" logo on door and NH certainly did
not exist in the 90's.

Did you get a close look at the SUV to besure it said BCK and most of all
Take a picture of it?

I check directory assistance and BCK and full name is not found.
