I played some D&D and a lot of Vampire and Shadowrun. It was great fun - even went to a LARP in Atlanta. Still have all the books and dice, just not the time.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
Whaaaaaaat? That’s so cool!!!!!!!!!!! My mom and I met Ruth and Elliot Handler (and Barbara Handler) 31 years ago at a Barbie festival in Orlando. Actually, I think that was 31 years ago either this month or last. 1994 was a good year.
Also, thank you folks not judging me harshly. Being an obsessive nerd comes in all kinds of forms and flavors and I don’t view it as a bad thing, I just care deeply about being judged harshly for saying what I enjoy because it’s not something that another person finds appealing. Some people like baseball cards or coin collecting: I just like dolls and tiny things.
And big ups to painting miniatures.
I don’t have that kind of patience, precision, or hand-steadiness, but I admire that skill. One of my best friends paints tiny doll faces and recently took up painting game pieces as a side hustle. She has crazy precision, even after a stroke.

One of the things I judge people most harshly on is if they judge others for their hobbies. Unless those hobbies are hurting other people, judging someone’s hobby is nothing but narcissism.
Also, I’m not happy about being reminded that 1994 was 31 years ago. Sigh.
Agreed. The 90s were basically yesterday. It’s one of those wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey things.
It was just Y2K yesterday right?? Right???
The miniatures aren’t my thing by any means but I respect the hell out of people who can do it and enjoy it. It’s a huge skill and talent and glad for those who have unique hobbiesWhaaaaaaat?

Mostly in high school, in college until I dropped out. My high school English teacher put on the TV so we could see the OJ Simpson verdict.
My high school English teacher came in and told us that the Challenger had exploded.
ok graduated HS in '81 but proceeded to take 20 years to graduate from college!!! (dropped when I got a great job offer and didn't finish until Time Warner paid for it in 2001)... [which makes me REALLY old]
But hey at least you finished. And you aren’t that much older than me! I graduated high school in ‘86, which was just 20 years ago, right!
Right!!!
I used to enjoy the looks I'd get around the water cooler when folks would talk about their college grad dates and I'd say '01... Generated lots of confusion!
Hooray for unconventional students! I graduated college in ‘94 and got my master’s in 2024!
My boss at the time tried to pay me $100 to walk with the other grads... Hindsight: shoulda done it! heck - it's a hundred bucks! (20 gallons of gas in the boat)
Oh I definitely walked! I was not suffering through Thermo and process modeling and transport design and not walking. Those classes were hard especially since it had been 30 years since I took diff eqs.
ah yes... differential equations and linear algebra - and without the graphing calculators of todays standards!
