Mine is my daily driver, road trip rig, and when ever I get a chance and have extra gas...I cruise it a bit.

My truck is used for everything...drove it from Minnesota so it takes road trips, I drive it daily now that the festiva took a crap (and I drove it almost daily before that), and we use it to do basically all the pulling/carrying/pushing (work) since my dad's F-150 is too much of a lightweight. I love driving it around, and I still think I get abnormally high gas mileage (like 12-18 mpg) maybe I am calculating wrong but oh well.

uh i cant drive

lukecp · 05-18-2003, 12:19 PM

I drive mine everywhere. It is my only vehicle. It gets about 11mpg around town, and 12.5mpg on the highway. Hopefully it will get 13-14 after i put the new heads on it and raise the compression. In the past two years it has left me stranded twice....once when a tire blew out and i had no spare, and once when it overheated (bad thermostat). Latley, i have been using it for work, like hauling around my riding lawn mower, firewood, old shingles, and just about anything else. That is nice though, i make money hauling stuff for various odd jobs i do.

Last month I drove from Zillah Wa. to Prescott Az. in my 350 powered 72 International Scout, I put on over 3,000 miles. Once there I won first place for the best modified Scout II. I got 16.5 mph on the highway (14 with a head wind). Thats with 307 gears.

I use mine for everything except road trips, trying to keep the miles down.

cruzn72 · 05-18-2003, 04:45 PM

It used to be my daily driver. Now I just cruise it. However, the pigs in our town make it very difficult. I do not know why they have to have a corn cob up their a## all of the time.

i use to my 72 to suprise the hell out of people. its a rustbucket that goes like hell off the line and then chokes itself out at high rpms. bad battery, it kills the truck at higher rpms or if you take off like hell not in low gears. other truck doesnt surprise people much because its decent

krue · 05-18-2003, 05:04 PM

work, daily driver, whatever needs doing!

dons72 · 05-18-2003, 05:12 PM

Mines acruiser right now, but I am not above working it if need be. I have enough other vehicles that it only leaves the garage when the sun is shining, or there is a ricer in the neighborhood.
