Automotif DCXLI...

1976 was the last year before General Motors downsized their full-size cars. This '76 Chevrolet Caprice Classic rode on a 121.5" wheelbase, stretched 222.9" bumper to bumper, and weighed over 4300 pounds. That's longer than a regular cab standard-bed Silverado and only a couple hundred pounds lighter.

Gratuitous Gun Pr0n #269...

Here's a Beretta 80X Cheetah in .32ACP with all the trimmings from Langdon Tactical. It has a custom trigger job, with an overtravel stop installed in the frame and all the internal parts NP3 coated, and the resulting double-action trigger is like buttah. The gun's been lightly dehorned and the Holosun EPS Carry is direct milled to the slide rather than using an adapter plate.

It works great in the PHLster Skeleton, carried either strong-side or AIWB. (The flashlight is a Surefire EDCL2-T, with spare batteries in the Thyrm CellVault.)

I'm fixin' to shoot the bejeezus out of this thing.

Rubber bumpers at both ends, recessed rear window, and checkered flags on the fender rather than a "Stingray" badge mark this as a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette in Corvette Bright Yellow.

The hood badge proclaims the presence of the optional L82 performance engine, which was at something of a Malaise Era nadir for the '76-'77 model years, producing only 205 horsepower.

Snapped with a Nikon Zfc and Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens.

Automotif DCXXXIX...

Judging by the wheels, windshield and lack of a CHMSL ("center high-mounted stop lamp", aka the third brake light) this Guards Red Porsche 944 is a 1985 model, I think.

Snapped with a Nikon Zfc and a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens.
