Solid Build

  1. Once a week I drive past the new Scout plant that is under construction on I-77 north of Columbia. Has to be at least 7-8 sq mi.

    VW was planning on all would be EVs. That would be a huge mistake.

  4. There used to be a junkyard/4x4 parts place north of NOLA between Slidell and Mandeville. Kid came in and asked "What'dya got for Internationals?" he replied "Sympathy!"
    Then said "Unless you know exactly what it is you have and need, I'll need to see the old part to get you what you need." Internationals, especially Scouts. had very varied parts, that came from everyone else's suppliers. So you brought him a broke part and he found one on a Chevy, Dodge, Jeep, or Ford, because usually the few Internationals he had did not have that exact part, even if it was the same model, year, and month of manufacture.
    Other than that buggaboo, He liked them well enough.
    I'd take one.
    You couldn't give me a new fake one that is being brought out.
