Kindred Motorworks of Vallejo, Calif., is reimagining the cult classic Volkswagen Bus (aka Type 2 Transporter or “T2”) of the 1960s and ’70s. It fully transforms them into the desirable 23-window version and adds electric power, giving owners miles of smiles with more usable power and torque as well as modern amenities. There’s a catch, however: a hefty $249,000 price tag — that’s more than the cost of a house in some parts of the country. Are they worth it? “We modernize and work with vehicles people just adore,” Greg Clark, Kindred Motorworks’ Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), said. “They’re iconic.…

Air Mobility Command’s space-available travel sign-up process has run on the same basic model for years: Fill out a form, email it to whichever passenger terminal you’re departing from, and hope someone on the other end enters it correctly before your window opens. As of March 26, 2026, that changed. AMC launched a new self-signup tool incorporating every AMC location worldwide, and it’s built on fundamentally different plumbing than what came before it. What Actually Changed The old system, still technically available, routes a traveler’s information through an email that gets sent to a specific passenger terminal, where staff then…

For years now, anti-gunners have been trying their best to push gun ownership into the fringes of society. More accurately, they tried to turn it into the dirty little secret that you might be free to take part in, but you shouldn’t talk to people about it. It’s kind of like being into freaky bedroom activities or liking the Twilight movies. You might do it, but no one can know, even if it’s legal. And, frankly, we’ve played into their hands on that. People are paranoid about even talking about owning guns out of fear…

The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced two framework agreements to expand the production capacity of missile-interceptor components. The agreements, with defense companies Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, intend to triple the production of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) components, and quadruple the production of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) components. The frameworks come as part of the Arsenal of Freedom initiative, a defense initiative to modernize military technology. “Building the Arsenal of Freedom requires robust, dynamic supply chains at every level of the industrial base,” said Michael P. Duffey, Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, in a…

The 2000s was a critical time for the gaming industry. The monstrously successful PlayStation 2 arrived in 2000, with Microsoft’s first Xbox system and Nintendo’s iconic GameCube launching in North America the following year. This set the stage for a console generation marked by a fascinating three-way competition, and of course, some brilliant games. In particular, RPG fans had an embarrassment of riches to enjoy during the 2000s. Then as now, though, it’s just impossible to play all the games we’d like to. Even if you’ve been an RPG enthusiast for decades, there are some great games from this era…

I’ve written a lot about the Department of Justice’s schizophrenia on NFA registration of things like suppressors and short-barreled long guns. The registration was, originally, nothing more than a list of who paid the NFA tax. It was there so law enforcement could check and see if the suppressor they found was lawfully owned or not. Now that there’s no tax stamp on such devices, the registry has outlived its purpose.Easy enough, right?The problem is, though, that the DOJ that is going after everyone else over unconstitutional gun control laws is defending this travesty. Mark…
