Charlie Parr and Spider John Koerner in an alternate universe where they came up together.

My 68 IHC Scout 800.

I had the newer fwd 1983 Corolla-Tercel SR5. My first car, bought used in 1991 for $100 with a bad clutch. It was also the first time my Dad got me really involved in a major car repair.

Yup.  Tim Allen AKA Ex-Buzz Lightyear.  Glad Chris Evans has taken the mantle for future Toy Story works.

MIL wanted a home in the woods closer to the coast. We were fortunate enough to be able to buy her prior home for what was a song in 2018... since city dwellers decided semi-rural is the new hotness, our property’s value has almost doubled in 3 years. We found out when our insurance co. said they don’t insure…

Wife’s company went RTO for everyone, including people who were WFH for years pre-COVID. They hemorrhaged workers after bonuses dropped this year, major listed reason upon exit interview was RTO.

Damn kids today don’t even know how to tie down their own punkins.

a 9200 lb. oddity.  I pity any trail the hUmMeR comes across.

IMHO, if VW wants to get into the U.S. truck/off road market, they should reinstate the Scout brand.

Hate to break it to ya about ol’ Henry...

Glad my make/model was never mentioned...

Ugh... I don’t remember my dad working on drums very often, but when he did it was an absolute nightmare most of the time. I have traumatic flashbacks remembering him having to deal with carburetors where the temp swung from -45 to 90's through the year on farm vehicles & daily drivers.  

I converted my Scout to Discs & F.I., After being on the road a year I can’t say I’m sorry for either, aside from chasing down brake part issues early in my build it’s been 100% hassle-free.

Among the 4 necessities on my Scout... I changed the wipers to electric, replaced every wire with a good harness, got rid of my drum brakes & changed to a Hamilton F.I.

Carburetors and drum brakes.  

That would require work.  Remember, these are autobloggers who hire mobile mechanics.

A guy in Northern MN put an Arctic Cat (Suzuki) 1000cc 3 cylinder 2 stroke from a Thundercat in a Geo Metro. IIRC the transmission lasted less than a day.

My 7/13mpg 196C.I. 4-cylinder reeeealy needs to be replaced soon... I’d love the drivetrain from something like this, down to the axles.  I’d swap a Volvo T5 for the hot mess Suzuki uses.  I’d like to attain maybe 25 on the highway if possible.
