    Where to buy AR's? (where they aren't sold out)

    Was bored today and decided to jump in on the assault rifle action pre-ban (if it passes). Was hoping to nab 2, a Sig M400 and another yet to be determined.

    So some of your guys remember me inquiring about classic VW's, more specifically Super Beetles. Well I came across this Ghia and just curious as to reliability and source-ability of parts. If I deem this a daily, would I need to concern myself with anything outside of routine maintenance? It...

    Just as the title says. Try not to post bullshit (then again, if you like I guess you're allowed to). Hopefully we can all walk away saying we discovered some new shit. First vid is of a guy I met at SXSW a few years back. From LA, came to a club night I host at a lounge and killed it...

    Turns out the Japanese are human after all.

This American living over there gives some well needed insight as to what was happening, even speaking with some OLD residents. A few reason noted as to why looting was not reported; Japan does a very...
