Gas would probably be cheaper to buy. If it is a lot cheaper gas might be an option. What are Dwaine's thoughts gas/diesel in his babies?

Yikes...Starting at 80K???...(cough). Sorry...I need more vehicle and less monster truck. My check will be made out to Bureko.
Dwaine told me that if you were primarily using it off road and rock crawling diesel was the way to go for the torque. However, if you drive it a lot on the highway he preferred gas for the higher top end speed.
Diesel should also be able to ford deeper water.
He also said they had a modular cab, which I think I'd prefer since I don't like wind noise on the highway and breathing too much dust.

I would probably tow it wherever I was going to wheel it if I got one. I have eaten enough dust in my life, modular cab might be the way to go.

I like the idea of being able to drive to a local trail vs. trailering it around everywhere. A lot of our trails are drive in one end and out the other; PITA for a buggy.
This thing is plain badass from a design perspective.

Hmmm, I wonder how hard it would be to make a Scorpion street legal in CA.
first guess would be Bebe's original idea "w/ out the gun":shame:
Dwaine said they have 3 registered in California now.

It has to have a frame - it's a tube chassis - so not really possible - but Speedy and I are cooking up ideas
To add to that - mud flaps, lights etc. We tow our rigs anyways.
Most of the trails here (Fordyce/Rubicon/Slickrock/Deer Valley) all have tow rig parking and most folks tow their junk. The furthest drive I would have is 2.5 hrs and the only place I would be concerned about is Moab. But - that could easily be managed.

Dwaine's scorpion is amazing. I followed it most of the day. Definitely did not want to follow him because his line was NOT the line I wanted to take. If I had the cash, I would buy one in a heart beat. Especially after seeing him run part of the extension. It was very impressive

I'll buy it and make sure it gets wheeled! It'll look great at the mall next to my deuce, I'll add some chrome simulated bead locks, chrome hood louver, those fake circle air vents on the front fender, chrome nerf bars, and that chrome square tube grill posted in the for sale section!
Man, I can't wait to get this thing and start MODDING it out!!!

Well, if they wouldn't have screwed up the suspension with all that high tech SAS set-up, I'm pretty sure I could have gotten a lift kit for the front IFS with a chrome cross member!

They just put the Dana 44 under there because you can't get a chrome cover for the AAM-7.
Yep. Where you are in gods waiting room you will need that awesome suspension just to be able to drive over or around all of those wheelchairs and silver alert cars left idling on the road empty

You could even park the Mini underneath it, like a portable garage
I think the Mini is pretty cool, but it is a compromise. The width is limited by design which will make it more tippy unless you reduce the CoG by an equal amount. I don’t really need it that narrow, unless you want to go down Jeep trails and make them look bad.
The ultimate lottery vehicle for me would be a two seat Scorpion with fiberglass body panels to resemble the H4 design. There would also be powered fold out steps safely stowed above the rock rails so my wife could climb in.

Commuting in the Mini is how I can afford to mod the Hummer. :wink:
