You own more broken scouts than running ones.

You go to buy a Scout and it comes with a "parts one".

Your a little dissapointed when the Scout you want to buy dosnt come with a parts Scout.

The auto parts store sends customers to you when they ask about Scout parts. (that ones for you Mike)

your Scout has a nicer body than you do. (quote from the last meeting)

you tell people its a lotus when they ask, because your tired of explaining it.



Fill in the blank guys........
 
When a newish vehicle with $300/mo or more payments gets booted from the garage in favor of some rusted out pile of dog turds.
 
There was a thread similar to this years ago on another site. My favorite response (wish I could say it was mine) was:

you have to mow around your "scouts with potential."
 
... a chrystler off road product makes your skin crawl like a cheap b horror movie .

... You drive by farmland real slow, oblivious to the honking traffic behind you, looking for that special find.

... you think your junk on blocks is totally different than the neighbors eyesore, and that they should get rid of that crap .

... Looking at google maps you try to see how many of your scouts and trucks you can see from space and if you missed any place where you can store another that your wife might not find.

... you come up with creative ways to explain to your wife what you just bought is essential and very important .

... You come up with creative ways to sleep on the couch.
 
When not only you, but your wife can spot a Scout a mile away.
When your wife can tell the difference between a Scout and a Bronco, also at that distance.
When your wife rolls her eyes after someone calls your Scout a Bronco or heep, cause knows the storm clouds rolling in. :icon_mad:
when you go to the parts store and start your request with "can you order ect..ect.." instead of "do you have ect..ect..".
When you use buying a Scout part as a threat when you think your wife doesn't need that $90 purse.
 
I'll change it just a little:

you know you're an IH owner when Mike, kathy and their trailer pull into your driveway ready to help you with your latest project(s).

When your 5 year old sees a Jeep, hummer, or Bronco in a parking lot. Points at it and says "daddy why does that Scout look funny"?
 
You're beyond excited because you can tell the counter clown to look up some simple and common crossover part from a chryfordrolet rather than going through the excruciating ritual of...''it's a Scout...you know ihc?...not ringing any bells huh? International Harvester? They made farm equipment, dump trucks, school busses...in fact I think I had an intimate encounter with your mother on an IH school bus one time, or maybe it was in the bed of a dump truck...just find the freakin' part you loser! Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh! Where's sam kinnison when you need him?:mad2:
 
You're a Scout owner when your co-worker buddies keep tell'in ya about "finds" they see by road, inna field, or fer sale. The next week is punctuated with "didya see it?" or "gonna buy it?"
sometimes ya want to, but your present herd needs cash too, talk about enabling the addiction.
Sailor jerry sez, "buy a used rice burner fer gitt'in around, then use the money that was gonna go fer payments to git yur parts and git the Scout on the road!" then of course used rice burners needs some fix'in, so always keep one on the ready list.
 
Quoting jerry now? Does this mean you've accepted him into your life as your personal sailor?:lol: I've got a name for your Scout, but you'll have wait until meeting time when I come up.
 
Last nite jerry came by the digs; ya, you could say it was a personal invite.:icon_mrgreen:
'taint nut'in like meet'in tha core member of tha "fat white boyz social club"
