A Dumb Problem Sidelined My IH Scout for 20 Months, My Father-in-Law Fixed It in 20 Minutes

The latest car news, reviews, and features. When I lived in Los Angeles, I kept my fleet of stupid old cars running out of necessity. Let something sit for more than a week, and the parking fines would rack up quickly. But when I moved cross-country to New York's boondocks a few years ago, I devolved into the worst kind of redneck collector. An 'I'll fix it up some day' guy. But no longer—my redemption arc starts this summer. Here's a quick sitrep on the vehicles in my care, from youngest to oldest: 2017 BMW 330 Wagon : Wife's get-around car. No mods beyond Pilot Sport tires, and it's gonna stay that way. Keeping indefinitely. : Wife's get-around car. No mods beyond Pilot Sport tires, and it's gonna stay that way.

If you saw that and thought, 'Man, you got too much going on,' I agree. Don't worry, they don't usually live on the grass. They just had to be moved so a construction vehicle could go through my driveway for a patio project. Andrew P. Collins You see, to ease the pain of being forced to leave sunny Southern California for the soggy Hudson Valley, my wife told me I could collect all the old junkers I wanted to on our handful of acres. So I did, and now I'm ready to admit that was a mistake. If you, too, dream of hoarding cheap cars, let me explain where I went wrong. I have an unfortunate combination of project ADD, hyperfixation, just-OK mechanical skills, and the good ol' fashioned excuse of way too many plates spinning in life and not enough hours in the day. When I get a new vehicle project, I can't just tinker, I need to collect memorabilia, period-correct ads, apparel, mods, etc. Then, when it comes time to do something trivial, like replace an air filter, well, shoot, I've got to pull the whole airbox, clean it up … hang on, now that the airbox is out, I might as well clean that part of the engine bay nobody sees. While cleaning, it occurs to me that some random bracket would really look nicer if I pulled it and repainted it. Heck, now that bracket needs fresh hardware… multiply by eight vehicles. Also, I have a full-time job, a million house-repair projects, and a dog I'd rather play with than do any of the above. Soon, my garage is a mess, my car's inoperable, and yeah. I'm in a hell of my own making. I can't keep living like this. I won't! Andrew P. Collins This is the year I get my projects back under control, and while that sounds like an empty New Year's Resolution platitude, I've actually made decent progress so far. The deck my wife and I have been building for a year is near completion. The pantry remodel we've been talking about will be done this weekend. And I've sold three sets of wheels from my enormous collection of unused autoparts. And, most excitingly, my old Scout is back online. Explaining why that went off the road requires even more context; bear with me a little longer. The previous owner installed the most bizarre aftermarket start-switch setup I've ever seen—to start the truck, you need to flip a three-position toggle from the middle to the bottom, then you can crank it over… with a mailbox key that you insert in the middle of the dashboard. It's connected to a nest of wires that change color over the course of their length. I know it's insane, but it's always worked, and frankly, I'm too scared to mess with it because I'm too lazy to rewire the whole truck (which, realistically, is probably the real solution needed). It looks especially sad right now because, again, my driveway is currently filled with rocks and construction machines for a patio that's going in. Andrew P. Collins Last summer, when I went to start the thing with a charged battery, I got nothing. No crank, no click. I peered under the dash, and my worst fears were confirmed—some of the scary wires were now frayed, surely the work of mice. And I had no clue where to even start putting them back together. 'Er, I'll come back to that later,' and you see where this is going. Whenever is never, and the stupid thing sat and sat. Finally, as winter 2025 thawed, I came to my senses and decided that if I really couldn't work up the courage to fix this truck, I had to send it to a shop and then either sell it or start taking it more seriously. I found a creative mechanic with all kinds of weird crap in the parking lot—everything from old Bimmers to Citroens to JDM vans to a miltary Hummer—and talked to him about my problem. He was confident he could sort me out, but couldn't start until mid-July. Yikes. Andrew P. Collins This is where my father-in-law comes in. My wife's stepdad is a lifelong car guy, boat guy, tractor guy, motorcycle guy. He loves vehicles and currently runs the service department of a BMW store (part of why Bavaria is so well represented in my collection). He chided me for outsourcing the repair. He's far too sweet to taunt, but he (rightfully) pretty much said, 'That ignition's gotta be simple as heck, why pay somebody to fix that?' Why? Because I'm lazy, distracted, and overwhelmed, dangit! Finally, he'd had enough of my foolishness and showed up with a charged battery. It was getting dark, it was starting to rain, and once again, I was not in the mood to mess with the machine. But I had just enough wherewithal to realize—this was my chance. With another dude egging me on and offering earnest expertise, the spark of motivation was lit inside me. So I showed him the wiring. We poked around a little—sure enough, the damaged wires were a lot more obvious and less intimidating once we'd simply pulled the switch from the dash to get a better look. He twisted the right ones together, I dropped his battery in, and sure enough, the thing started cranking as I turned the key. And with a little drop of gasoline from the lawnmower can into the carb, it fired immediately and idled beautifully. We are so back. It's ripe for revitalization, that's for sure. And it's finally time to shed the spray-paint-camo look. Andrew P. Collins There are a few important morals of this story: 'Whenever' means never—don't let your plans be nebulous, or they're never gonna happen. A little help goes a long way—a friend looking over your shoulder can be a spark of motivation. Quality over quantity—don't let your fleet get out of control like I did. And if you do, pare down until the mix is something you can handle. From here, my plan for the Scout is to replace the fluids, replace the tires, make sure the brake lines aren't bleeding, and then it's decision time. Do I keep it and change its look to celebrate its new lease on life, or sell it to focus on the rest of the fleet? Got some project car advice? The author could clearly use it, hit him up at

Audi weighs $4.6B US plant to placate Trump, avoid tariffs: report

German automaker Audi is reportedly considering plans to build a factory in the US to placate President Trimp and skirt tariffs on foreign imports. The luxury brand is weighing whether to build a plant in the southern US, one of the more expensive options out of a number of scenarios being considered, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported on Friday. Audi estimated the cost of building a new factory in the US could reach up to $4.6 billion, according to the report. Advertisement Audi is reportedly considering plans to build a factory in the US. AP A spokesperson for Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen Group, said the company is considering various options when it comes to expanding its presence in the US. 'We are confident that we will make a decision this year in consultation with the [Volkswagen] group on how this will look in concrete terms,' the spokesperson said. Trump's 25% tax on foreign cars and auto parts has already hit German carmakers hard. Advertisement In April alone, they incurred additional costs of more than $500 million in their export business to the US, according to estimates from Germany's auto industry lobby group. While Audi currently has no production sites in the US, Volkswagen has a plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., and a facility under construction in Columbia, SC. Meanwhile, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen are in talks with the White House on a potential import tariff deal – hoping to use their investments in the US as leverage for lowering rates, sources told Reuters. Advertisement President Trump announces steep tariff rates alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick during a press conference in April. REUTERS Mercedes-Benz in May announced that it is moving production of its GLC SUV – the company's second best-seller – to the US. BMW has also discussed adding shifts and boosting output at its South Carolina plant to ease pressure from Trump. Advertisement Several other major automakers have taken steps to ramp up US manufacturing since Trump has taken office. Jeep owner Stellantis announced plans to reopen its shuttered Illinois plant, while Honda is looking to shift production of the Civic from Japan to the US. With Post wires

BMW's New M Cars May Feature Plant-Based Composites

It seems like everything we used to consider good or tasty is getting some sort of veggie or plant-based alternative. These days, it's impossible to ignore the oat milk, plant-based cheeses, and Impossible meat on the menu at your local coffee shop or neighborhood bistro. Sometimes, those things taste just as good as the real animal-based thing. In today's eco-conscious world, equipping cars with lower-emission engines or electrifying powertrains is simply not enough for some automakers. Some manufacturers are going as far as decking their interiors with reclaimed wood trim, recycled plastics, as well as seats lined with "vegan leather" instead of the kind that comes off the back of a cow. However, the best of BMW's Ultimate Driving Machines are getting a plant-based alternative to a space-age material. In a statement released this week, BMW unveiled a new lightweight material that it claims is a more eco-friendly alternative to carbon fiber. Dubbed 'natural fiber composites,' this new material is made from fibers derived from flax, the same plant used to create textiles like linen and special types of paper, including the ones used in banknotes. The Bavarians claim that this new composite material is stronger than the carbon fiber components it replaces and offers reduced CO2 emissions compared to producing carbon fiber parts. According to BMW, exchanging carbon fiber parts for those made of natural fiber composites in the roofs of next-generation BMW Group vehicles can lead to a CO2 reduction of around 40% in production. After years of research and development and trial runs in motorsport settings, BMW says these natural composites are ready to be used in BMW's road cars. In a statement, Franciscus van Meel, the CEO of the automaker's M division, said that the high-performance specialists "are now looking forward to the use of these materials in future BMW M product ranges;" meaning that the the next-generation M3 and/or M4 may have a flax-roof when it reaches production. The flax-based 'natural fiber composites' were made in collaboration with Swiss clean-tech firm Bcomp, a company the automaker has invested in through BMW i Ventures. BMW and Bcomp developed this eco-friendly space-age material through an experimental development phase over several years. BMW M Motorsport initially used reinforcement parts made with these natural fiber composites in the 2019 season of Formula E. Since then, the same parts have also been used to replace carbon fiber plastic (CFRP) parts in BMW's M4 DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) car and the M4 GT4 cars. BMW says that the M4 GT4 that will compete at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring will be equipped with these panels onboard. "Natural fiber composites are a vital element of innovative lightweight solutions in motorsport," he said. "They allow for a reduction in CO₂e emissions in the manufacturing process. This is innovation that perfectly fits BMW M's identity: 'Born on the racetrack. Made for the streets.'" By looking at it, you can convince me or the untrained eye that this "plant-based carbon fiber" is actually carbon fiber. On a more serious note, BMW and Bcomp are making significant strides toward sustainability with the introduction of this new sustainable lightweight material, especially at a time when there is a strong emphasis on creating more environmentally friendly vehicles. Reducing emissions involves more than just improving or removing engines; it requires comprehensive solutions that go beyond simply placing a green badge on cars with electric motors and batteries and calling it a day.
