I always wanted to make it to that event, but never did before I sold my Scout.

Speaking of selling my Scout. I've got a couple stories that display the toughness of these scouts.

First one involved my uncles Scout II. We were headed back from Buena Vista after hunting, and my 17 (at the time) year old brother was leading the convoy in my uncles Scout, with my dad following in his 1 ton four door Chevy pickup hooked to a trailer hauling his Scout 800 (no clue the weight but it was a lot).

As they came to North Pueblo Blvd and highway 50 the light changed yellow, my brother being the newish law abiding driver, slammed on the breaks and stopped, well my dad wasn't expecting it, and rear ended him going about 45-50.

Completely destroyed the winch and winch bumper on his truck, along with the grill and radiator. All my uncle had to do was replace a tail light, and straighten his rear bumper with a hi lift. Lol
