Scout EV Announcement

[AXE]

Scout (Volkswagen) announced their official unveiling of the new Scout SUV and truck EVs for October 24. I can't wait to see it. They will be buikt in a brand new factory in South Carolina.

My great grandpa, grandpa and uncle owned and operated at an International Harvestor dealer for 40 years, so I'm keen on seeing this come to fruition. The first vehicles I ever drove were IH trucks and Scouts.

I am hoping they announce pre-sales date too. I plan to get one if I can. I'm not gonna pay $+50k to be the first guy in the neighborhood, but if pricing is reasonable I'm getting one.

I found a 1971 (I think) International Scout for sale for $700 when I was 15 (1987), and tried like hell to get my dad to buy it for me for my first vehicle. He was anti-4wd… more maintenance, get in more trouble, blah blah blah , and ended up buying me a 1973 Chevy Cheyenne LWB, wrecked, leaked and burned oil (had to put a quart in every $10 worth of gas), bald tire, vinyl seat torn up and down to foam, … and paid the same $700 for it. Ticks me off still!

These were two of my first vehicles I've driven. They are still sitting there at the farm. I took this picture a few weeks ago. Both would need some work, but they would run.

Yeah, those were solid rigs, didn’t they have some small 30? Displacement?
