First two? Kind of "meh" for me. But the 3rd really caught my eye. Surprised that didn't make it in. I'll pile on and just say you are getting much better. Good to see you upping your game and...

I don't know what the current model is, but was able to find that this unit is formerly Chaparral Steel 240. That appears to be one of many variants of a "low emissions diesel" models prevalent in...

Confirmed the GP39/slug sets are still at Curtis Bay. I've been down there before with an escort, and let's just say it's not something you photograph from the street. That explains the lack of...
