50 state vehicle

[THil08]

I’m glad everyone is posting and being positive. I figure these state sales pitches are the perfect way for SM to select state forum ambassadors if/when the 50 state Vlog begins

Someone better check to make sure ScoutEVForum isn’t reposting this calling it theirs.

No doubt about that!

Here’s my pitch. South Carolina now has two things. Charleston and the Scout factory!

Except you’ll have to purchase out of state

Oh, forgot to mention that little tidbit….

 

[THil08]

Wow, that bill will continue to be pushed by scout. As a good friend named John Kreese says, “Scout Never Dies!” Or at least I think that’s what he says. Lol.

I’ll call dibs on Idaho. We can showcase the natural wonders of Idaho from thousands spring, deep canyons of the snake and owhyees to the peaks of the sawtooths, ruggedness of River of No Return and the lakes of northern Idaho. We would need a harvester model due to our remoteness.

NJ- We have some of the best beaches around from what I have been told by people who have traveled the beaches of the US. Being I’m a beach kid I know the ins and outs of the beach towns. Grew up and still live at the beach. We also have the great Jersey pine barrens. And plenty of great fishing spots inland, and out on the ocean a few miles off shore. And we have some great pizza places and restaurants.

Ex wife was from Manalapan & related to a reality star on Jersey Shore. The beaches are nice, but we will see on the Scout
50 state tour....

I also have a few hidden public off-road trail up my sleeve.

If only you could buy one

You also have Beaufort, shrimp burgers, pralines and lots of ocean front

Sad but true! But even so, I know my BFF Jamie wouldn’t farm out that tour to the in-laws. And so long as it happens before the vehicles are released to public they don’t stand a chance.

I can do NC - with family from Topsail Island to Franklin, NC, I can cover the whole state (and all the BBQ options)!

With respect to our Carolina and Kansas brothers and sisters, there is only one state worthy of visiting for BBQ, and that's Texas. Other states do various "grilled meats" to which they add various mustard and vinegar-based sauces (bleh), but in Texas the brisket is so moist it requires no sauce and melts in your mouth.

Beyond that, Texas has every micro-climate, from desert to mountains to plains to forests to beaches. The largest cities to the smallest of hamlets, ranches and farms, oil & gas, wind and solar (Texas is the U.S. leader in wind energy production).

It's the biggest and best state, the only that used to be its own country. Us Texans love to brag on our state but bring it on! We are proud but friendly, with iconic brands like the Longhorns, and America's Team: the Cowboys. Everything is bigger in Texas! I bet Texas has the most Scout pre-orders too. It's the obvious choice for where Scout should start its journey across America.

OK, now that I've triggered every non-Texan I can't wait to see the replies.

I second that. And really-the Cowboys is what you are standing behind I’ve made fun of my cousin for 30 years over that
Brisket -sure I’ll give you/TX credit. All other meats go to NC but only if pulled-if it’s the finely chopped stuff they can keep that

 

[eddiet1212]

I will give you that, Texas has good bbq....i lived there for 5 years...too many good places to name...

This route covers approximately 1,200 miles and will give you a sampling of BBQ styles across the South, from South Carolina's low-and-slow tradition to Texas-style BBQ at its best

Let the debate begin...lol

 

[Horn of Gabriel]

Dreamland is good, I enjoyed it. I've done Franklin's but refuse to stand in a 4 hr line for BBQ on principle. There are so many other good options as well.

Big Bob Gibson in Alabama is very good. Eaten there several times over the years of going there for archery tournaments. Can’t speak to the others though
Charlotte is basically 1 to 1-1/2 hours north of Blythewood and The Pit is awesome!
