This guy, who’s driving an old International Scout. And that right there makes him a hero. This is a one of the coolest trucks ever made, a 4x4 idiot chariot with the gall to take on Jeep at its own game. The Scout was a tool for small business owners and a Baja off-road racing legend, and one of the first trucks to break into the suburban demographic. Versatile. Hell of a thing. International built more than a half-million examples from the early Sixties until the early Eighties; somehow, a good many of them are ate up. Not this one, though. Whoever you are, brother, keep rambling. Hero.
