    There are plenty of these in Colorado, although the number of Scouts in Golden peaked about a year ago with a maximum of six or so. Now I only see a couple around town, and only one consistently. I have, however, counted at least three Willy's Jeeps lately, all within about three blocks of each other.

    I see a Scout pootin' around probably once a month or so down here. The last one I saw kinda threw me off, though--it was driven by a fake-tanned enormous-shades-wearing twenty-something girl. The kind of girl that's smokin' hot but probably vapid as hell? Except this one was driving a Scout. mindfuck

    When I lived in Rochester, NY, there was a Scout that I saw downtown regularly that was super beat up, but it was a year-round daily driver. Oddly, it had really small front tires, and no front driveshaft. I suspect the owner somehow wrecked the transfer case or front diff, and found the simplest possible solution to the problem.

    All this Scout love, and he still hasn't featured my local badass IH pickup.


    I can't complain, though, because just look at this thing it is beautiful.


    On a related note, I followed a beautiful FJ60 home today. Mmmm.

    Nice tilt-shit work, even if it's not technically perfect.


    Looks like even Alameda rust couldn't overlook this easy catch. I have to admit, this one casts a more complete shadow than most.

    What a wonderfully/hideously '70s color-combo.. who knows, the guy might even get around to painting the top before all the green wears off the body- being Cali, I guess he has a bit more time to decide than he would here.


    When I was a kid, the IH Scout was the plowrig of choice (except among real oldtimers, who prefered the '50s-vintage Willys Jeep pickups and wagons), but at some point, the Scouts all disappeared..


    Or so I thought until last fall, when I found two Scouts within a week and ten miles of each other.

    That's a pretty impressive paint job. How many coats of clear do you think? They must have spent hours wet sanding. Such dedication. That faux tilt-shift maker is kind of slick...

    ahhhh, I've tried the Tilt Shift website as well, very cool indeed. While I'm not a big fan of Photoshop, I have been trying to get my arms around GIMP. It's going to take a lot more time than I have to get proficient, I'm afraid to say.


    By the way, I think the reason for all the Alameda Scouts might have something to do with it's history with the US Navy. Am I way off base here? (pun intended)

    @TV's Paul Y.: The only thing about GIMP that really drives me apeshit is the "many windows" thing - you bring up a browser window, then bring up Photoshop, all your windows are at the forefront with a distraction-clearing background. On the other hand, if you bring up a browser window and then bring up GIMP, then bring up each toolbar separately, then bring up each workpiece... FOR FUCK'S SAKE! Without multiple desktops, it's really worth the $0 one pays for Photoshop.

    @FstrPssycw: See, I actually do have multiple monitors at home. I agree, though GIMP is really horrible with one monitor. It's a great piece of software, but the UI sorta sucks.


    On the other hand, there's a plugin for it that is supposed to make it look like Photoshop. I haven't used it, but it might be worth a try.

    Sweet. Looks pretty good and straight for a Scout of that age. Most of these have seen serious off road use and are all beat up. Little rust, and what seems to have been a very bad radiator. This one's paint looks like it has enough patine to use it as emery cloth.


    A friend has the convertible version. The top is immense and difficult to put up properly, but makes for a great ride with it down.

    Thanks for posting the pictures, Murilee. I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about Colorado. I should have some more for you once summer starts in earnest and all the nice cars come out of storage.


    Thanks also for all the positive comments. I'll have to give Mike (the owner of the Nova gasser) the url for this page.

    @Baron Plushroom von Falconpunchen: You must be fairly young- when I was a kid (early '80s) Subarus were everywhere- and, unlike today, probably only about 5% were owned by yuppie lesbians from Kennebunkport. The 4WD versions especially were seen as a viable alternative to the Yota pickup.

    @SLANTTZILLA?: Well, if you didn't know my age before, you do now: I was born 'round the halfway point of the first Bush administration. Which would explain why '80s Escorts, Tempos (mainly the later models), Accords with pop-up headlights, late-'70s Ford trucks (saw a beautiful flatbed wrecker DOTS yesterday, but didn't have my camera) and second/third-gen Leones are firmly entrenched in my mind... but the truly cool stuff is nowhere to be found.

    @Baron Plushroom von Falconpunchen: Slantzilla's right, they used to be everywhere in New England in the early '80s. I lost my virginity in a Subaru that looked just like that one, except it was light blue. Parked in the driveway of a summer cottage that had been closed up for the winter. Ahhh, memories.

    It's true, though--very, very rarely do I see a Subaru older than 1995. I knew a guy in Virginia with a '94 Loyale wagon, and occasionally (very occasionally) I'll see a BRAT or a Justy pootin' around, but that's the extent of it.

    I like the curled-up hood edge. It's a lot easier to preempt those problems with a 10-buck set of hoodpins than it is to pry open your hood with a tire-iron, trust me.
