i see something... it's the future... no... wait... it's the present.... no, it's not that either... it's paranoid rich guys who'll never utilize this vehicle but feel really powerful behind the wheel.

Very cool. I think there will be a demand for after market up-armored vehicles soon. If anybody is mechanically inclined & looking for a post-shtf occupation, that might be one to consider. Wonder if anybody's doing that in Argentina?

5) Many of the persons killed these last few days got killed inside their cars.
Cars offer NO protection of any kind against any caliber. You�d do well to remember that.
If you ever end up using your car as a weapon, better go as low as you can in your seat, trying to use the engine a protection, since car doors and windows offer none, even against 22LR.

Armored vehicles is big business in South America...I believe Brazil is the biggest market.

Of course the really rich escape all the potential hazards of driving down there by using helicopters.

I know someone who had an old Blazer or Suburban converted..
it was a pre-Fuel injection, I guess because of EMP. They live out in Arizona.

Wonder if they still have it? Hmmmm. Maybe trade??
