The car shop on Naskeag Road

Shawn McKay's garage is called Affordable Performance. Shawn's a superb mechanic. Another great thing about his shop is its remote location, out with the ospreys, the herring gulls, and the sea-fog on Naskeag Point Road, in Brooklin, Maine. It is about as far from a Gasoline Alley-type situation as you could imagine. But it's not unusual to find skillful independant craftsmen like Shawn salted away on the Maine backroads.
             I think that's my 850 in the bay. (Both photographs ©William Geisler 2011)
