Last week, I attended GunCon. In industrial events, it stands out as the best. I have a close relationship with TGC’s John Patton and Cody Hinton, who host and organize the event, but this is an objective opinion: If you’re a firearms enthusiast, you really should be there. People travel far and wide to attend.
It turns out that measuring a car’s speed from 5 to 60 mph often tells you more about its performance than the traditional 0 to 60 mph measurement. However, since people have been keeping an eye on it since 1946, when auto journalist Tom McCahill started the trend, we’ll
The modern luxury property market is stuck in a cycleOf engineered obsolescence. Complex electronics, computer-dependent subsystems and forced induction have turned modern luxury wagons into financial time bombs for second and third owners. While German longtops from the 2010s are currently suffering air suspension failures and bricked-up infotainment screens, a 20-year-old Japanese option is quietly
Labor jacket in light beige suede Pitti rarely introduces new, interesting brands these days. It may be partly the market situation, partly the Pitti situation, but either way it is not about the search for some time. You see new things but not new names. Luckily there was an exception this summer, because we met
AThe heart of this strange, perhaps rather poignant book is the biblical question: “What must I do to be saved?” Not in the crude sense of securing a place in heaven, but as an urgent challenge to the entire stock of destructive assumptions and habits espoused by the majority culture. Vance’s famous first book, Hillbilly
The allure of the 70s and 90s, where designs were simple and motorcycles were pure, is a desire that resonates more than a quarter of a century later. And plenty of motorcycles are wearing their old shape well. Round headlights, teardrop tank, twin rear shocks, brushed-metal muffler, the looks have been refined and successfully so.

Most riders and car enthusiasts know Brembo. Even people who don’t ride know Brembo. The Italian brand has spent decades turning brake calipers into status symbols. Look at the Brembo logo peeking through a wheel or on the fork of a premium bike and everyone immediately assumes it’s fast, expensive, or both. But here’s the
While the automotive world moves toward the complex, high-tech, and whisper-quiet forced induction, one stubborn relic of the mid-20th century refuses to die. The modern engine bay is dominated by twin-scroll turbochargers, variable valve timing and hybrid assistance, all designed to squeeze maximum power from small displacements. Yet, despite billions spent on modern engineering, a
