Back in the mid 1970s the International Harvester dealer in Brookings, South Dakota debuted a Scout Terra. It was four wheel drive El Camino cool but really doggy with its automatic transmission and four cylinder Nissan diesel engine so the last one rolled off the line in 1980. IH rebranded as Navistar International Corporation in 1986 then entered a strategic alliance in 2016 with Volkswagen who bought the company in 2021. Herb loved "Binders'' too and we talked about driving that Terra right up until
he left the Earth. Now, a factory in South Carolina is producing electric Scouts under the International® banner.
Here in New Mexico the two Tesla dealerships are on the Nambé and Santa Ana Pueblos to skirt state laws. It's become very complicated for the tribal governments especially now that a barely legal alien from South Africa is finding out after fucking around and gutting resources to Native communities.
