Cool looking Stout! Is the truck bed original, or is it a custom build? It is interesting to see since it has wood boards on the side.

not sure you'd want to be seen in in it cause it's goofy... but not junk.

I take it you owned one before.

I had an Escort GT. which was the bigger chassis and engine but all still very similar. funny I forgot to list that one when we did the "previous cars" at subaruxt.com
that one got near 40 on the highway and being lightweight with a great Mazda engine did it's share of civic slaying back in the day.
(and I sheepishly admit that I kind of giggled at the festimino! I think I could drive that.)

that Scout truck is very cool! not a truck person really but that is sharp!

My father had a '76 International Scout II. He was strictly domestics, haha. I wish we kept that car...

A few from Japan I found when going through old pics.

Mitsubishi HJ58-ish jeep (taken from inside a Toyota Wish!)

Nissan DR30 Skyline

Hachiroku! AE86 Corolla Levin

Toyota Crown 2-Door Hardtop Royal Saloon (S110 series)

FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser

Isuzu dekotora

Mazda Autozam AZ-1. Check out the tight fit for that Toyota Alphard. This is a perfectly common parking predicament in Japan.

Noodle vendor kei truck

Random parking lot. In Japan, every one parks ass first.

And a back in the USA, a super clean Subaru GL hatchback

Wow. It's like all my 1982 Lincoln Town Car 2-door sedan dreams all came true at once.

...He doesn't know it, but he's obviously the happiest person in the world, and someone should tell him.

I'm glad that we can still today, say we live in a world where an ancient Japanese man can turtle around in the La-Z-Boy of an immaculately maintained, anti-socially-large-for-having-only-two-doors, decades old Crown pretending to be Elvis. He's even managed to use his station to wrangle himself a wife young enough that her hair is rendered in color.

The Japanese have officially redefined, and refined, the meaning of "only in America". We should be ashamed of this.

For some reason I get the impression that the windows of that thing are probably tinted to just the degree necessary, to make all youth culture and hentai around you disappear.

...They probably make the world around you appear ten percent poorer than it actually is, too. It's the kind of car I'd love to drive through a seedy alleyway, just to lightly shoo away all the bums who would try to wipe rags across the windshield.

Someday, we will all be this.

:applause:

Very well put. And that crown is perfect.

And I'm all about anti-socially large 2-doors. :lol:

Just fogged up I-75 with the Impala this evening. Nothing quite like tossing it in neutral and dumping a cloud of oil smoke all over tailgaters. :shock:

How about lifting off throttle at 4K and emitting a beach ball sized whitish/blue fireball out the tail pipe? Seems to work pretty well for me.
