Drove a 1980 Scout II through high school and part of college. So had to buy one for old times sake.

The 1980 was brown with an orange stripe. Also had the gutless diesel engine (Nissan SD33-turbo).

All eight of my parents kids drove that beast, and it kept all of us alive through any number of calamities (black angus cow on a dark country road, spin out on and icy bridge, 6th car in to a 13 car pileup, etc.).
