The M3 always looks like something a video game artist might come up with if they had a few polygons left over.

Rate my coffee mug holder at @tanksfirepower! Jokes aside 😅, this amazingly restored M3lee is the only one in the UK and you can see it at the @ArmourgeddonUK Tank Driving Centre & Museum! Definitely worth it!

Elvis' guns have sold for a pretty penny in previous auctions, but this Smith & Wesson Model 53 revolver now holds the crown as the highest price ever sold. With all the glitz and glam of the King, this Bicentennial theme revolver got bidders all shook up as it crossed the podium and set a new world record. #elvis #ElvisPresley
