Yeah but it would be fun to drive cross county.




NOT in a 36 year old, noisy, drafty, hard-riding, high-effort International Scout!

These were pretty rude, crude vehicles even in their day -- and by comparison to modern SUVs, they are positively neanderthal when it comes to driveability, comfort, reliability, and economy of operation.

If somebody kidnapped me and put a gun to my head and told me I had to drive 3000+ miles across the country in one of those, I would carefully evaluate the calibre of the weapon before I started the engine. As Jack Benny said so many years ago, "I'm thinking! I'm thinking!"

That said, it will be a fun toy for occasional weekend use. Just let somebody else deliver it.
