What?

I don't normally think of the person at the valet stand when purchasing a car, but I guess... it could be a consideration for someone who valet parks regularly

We had the opportunity to valet this weekend and opted to enjoy a nice spring evening walk instead

The last time I remember valet parking. I'm sure I've done it since, just didn't stick in my head as noteworthy.

It’s fun to think about what’s next. Don’t forget that Scout actively reads this forum. If you want to see something from Scout there is no better place to say it.

That and after 3-1/2 years some of us need another topic and we know how we all love making assumptions on this forum

Another EV coming to market...

This New Electric Vehicle Costs 50% More Than the Gas Version, Doesn't Include the Battery, and Isn't Any Faster. It's Made by Little Tikes

The Cozy Coupe has always been a symbol of affordability for toddlers, but has the new EV version taken it too far?

Man, even the original 1979 version was not user-friendly to work on, I can't imagine the modern EV equivalent. I disassembled and redid one for the kid in full Carolina Panthers livery. To Little Tikes credit, they still carried OEM original parts for the old models.

Long running parts supply is an important quality in a company.

I wonder if it is still possible to get parts for my first IH (not a photo of the actual tractor, internet image of what i believe to be the same model)

The red paint on mine was long gone, last I saw it you could describe it as the Silver Surfer edition.

It doesn’t seem like it, but the original Scout 80 is nearly identical in length and width to a Mazda MX5 Miata. People seem to really like that size. However, a little bit bigger that could support 4 doors, or a 2 door removable top. I keep thinking about the 4 door Isuzu rodeo and the quasi convertible 2 door Amigo sibling. Lots of shared components and frame. Could support BEV and harvester. I would image that once they get the software right for harvester that a smaller engine and battery could be utilized for a smaller vehicle fairly easily. Body on frame makes it easy to put a different shaped body on the same frame.

I’d love an electric Miata!

Having had two, the big draw to that car is the manual transmission. Plus it’s so light being an EV you could launch yourself into a tree.

My dad restores those for his tractor club so yes parts are available!

I’d love an electric Miata or MG B, but I don’t actually fit in them, so I’ll stick with an electric Mustang.

I think ertl made those. I’d say strong maybe. In addition to being an IH dealer in the 80s, we also had Ford. I got the exact same tractor but the Ford version for Christmas one year.

Bit too small for me but sign me up for an electric S2000

My husband would absolutely love them to bring back the del Sol.

I saw one about two weeks ago and my wife and I would both love one but would just be such a tight squeeze. Not 22 anymore

He loved that car. Didn’t come with AC and we lived in SoCal, Murrieta. It was hot during the day. I asked him if he wanted AC. He said the roof comes off why would I need AC? Didn’t care how hot or cold it was for that matter. Drove with that roof off all the time.

That’s what made them so cool. I was like that with my 3-series. Over 50 degrees and the top was down

Enough to earn back @SpaceEVDriver's trust? I think not.
