Forget Pebble, 'International Nationals' Is The Best Car Show In August
Forget Pebble, 'International Nationals' Is The Best Car Show In August-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:24

As returning readers will recognize, I'm pretty much obsessed with a little 4x4 called the . Mostly because they're just delightful looking, so I've spent all week pawing through these pictures from the biggest annual gathering of the trucks anywhere– generally known simply as "Nationals."

Which is kind of funny because "International Nationals" sounds kinda, I don't know, silly I guess? Maybe it's just me.

Sure, you can see exotics sell for obscene money in SoCal or hang out with some meticulously restored muscle cars at Woodward, but Scouts are trucks of the people. Even the most pristine examples are accessible cost-wise, and based on the interactions I've had with Scout owners (mostly via the many Scout groups I belong to) I bet they're more fun than whoever .

The esteemed auctioneers at Bonhams sold a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO for a mere $38.1 million tonight.…

2014 marks the 25th year of the show, which went down at the Waco historic airfield in Troy, Ohio. Maybe you'll start to see why I can't get enough of these things.

The airfield took some aerial footage of the lovely lineup as well, how cool is that?

Award winners are listed and "special awards" (people's choice, ect) are .

I'm Pretty Sure There's Only Been One Truck With Covered Headlights Ever And This Is It
I'm Pretty Sure There's Only Been One Truck With Covered Headlights Ever And This Is It
This morning, my seven-year-old asked me a question. A question a child would ask, but not a childish question: “Do any trucks have pop-up headlights?” Normally, I can answer his car questions pretty easily—how many wheels did an Isetta have, are there new Pontiacs, and so on. But this one...

Pick Up Your Life With A New GMC
Pick Up Your Life With A New GMC
I was looking through Jalopnik’s old archival footage (which is stored in the trunk of an abandoned C4 Corvette that currently resides under a bridge) and I came across this GMC ad from 1984. I now feel compelled to buy a truck. I need to buy a GMC from 1984....

Here's What The 2018 Jeep Wrangler's New 8-Speed Does For Its Fuel Economy
While verified technical details on the are still scant, it seems that the EPA has rated the new gas V6 version of the 4x4 for fuel economy. The 2018 V6 rates the same as the 2017 model, but improves markedly with the new 8-speed automatic transmission option. A 3.6-liter Pentastar...

Someone Stop Me From Spending All My Money On The World's Most Perfect Jeep Truck
Someone Stop Me From Spending All My Money On The World's Most Perfect Jeep Truck
The lovable Jeep Comanche—based on the equally-lovable Jeep Cherokee platform—is a fantastic little truck. But this one, a single-owner short-bed with original paint, a five-speed manual, a 4.0-liter inline-six and only 18,500 on the clock, is truck-o-motive perfection. I need it. My coworker Mike Ballaban wants to see me burn....

The Coolest New Pickup Truck You Can Buy Is Iranian
The Coolest New Pickup Truck You Can Buy Is Iranian
I guess I should clarify a couple of things about that headline: ‘coolest’ is entirely subjective, of course, and chances are really, really good that you can’t actually buy it, since only a very small percentage of our readership is in any country where it’s actually sold. Even so, I’m...

I won’t say I’m taking a wing of new and to their natural habitat because, that would be a valet line on Rodeo Drive. But we are taking these vehicles into the kinds of conditions you usually only see in commercials: the jungles and deserts of Peru. I guess Land...
