They are, but I am reasonably sure all have been cleaned up and edited before being uploaded and hosted on the site.

Brian Austin Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 It kind of looks industrial, like it belongs on a crane. :-)
NOBLNG Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 How would you like to find this in the back 40 of some property you just bought.
Tom Geiger Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 I ran out of trucks but keeping a light commercial theme, I recently came across some taxi pix!
