I mis-remembered - it was the old cable-car terminus, and the guy had turned some of the underground cable vaults into a firing range so he could test bullet-proof vests. He warned us to not get out of the truck when we got there, but to wait until he opened the overhead door so we could drive inside the Compound.mdr1220 wrote: 03 Apr 2021, 06:42I used to live near there and if I happen to drive through the area now I just shake my head.foggydogg wrote: 02 Apr 2021, 22:26If the C/L locator beacon is to be believed, north of Druid Hill ?mdr1220 wrote: 02 Apr 2021, 18:25 Baltimoron here.

Both look good and somewhat reasonable in price. Too bad about the 2 dents on the left front and rear doors of the Ocean Race or that would be an otherwise excellent purchase.

I've seen a rather depressing amount of ORE V70XCs in junkyards. 4-5 IIRC. Never seen one in the wild. The latest were at the same junkyard a couple rows away from each other... I couldn't believe I stumbled upon a second one. I thought I was going crazy walking in a circle.
