| ~ Rusty Nail |
Summary[]
Rusty Nail is the main antagonist of Joyride. He is a psychotic trucker that gets easily angered when getting messed with. He drives a black Peterbilt 359 semi, which gets replaced within every film due to them being chronically crashed (although during JoyRide: Dead Ahead, at the ending scene shows Rusty Nail driving a red Peterbilt). In JoyRide: RoadKill, he seems to be gossiped about as a myth, and he only tries to kill those who try to wrong him such as getting overtaken, pranked, or other various reasons that makes him angry.

Intelligence: Genius (Rusty is rather exceptionally intelligent, being able to discover information about his targets that a normal person shouldn't. He deduces that Lewis and Fuller are brothers as well as the identity of Venna's best friend, Charlotte. Rusty also has a knack for using technology to find more incriminating information about his victims. He once used pirated software via PC to look up his victims' vehicle, name, and address. He uses this information to scare the crew of 1 RCR driven by Jordan, and tells them that he knows the entire racing team and the event they are heading to. This familiarity with technology may explain how he is able to track people through radio communication, knowing little more than their radio handles and general location. In another instance, he tracks his victims down using a cell phone number. Can eerily pop up out of nowhere without his victims who are parked noticing that he is behind them at all. Often scares the victims to flush them out in to running for a good opportunity to attack them. Even with just one victim, he can set up a trap that is supposed to leave all of them dead. Is able to escape a few times without getting caught by the police)
