I could drive that..... Not that I would but I could.

It would get you noticed. I wonder what level protection it provides?

Usually on armored cars, the windows don’t roll all the way down, but there’s always new technology coming out

According to the USS Specialty Vehicle website, these are NOT armored, but it is offered as an option and it's done by a certified third party. Strictly a LAM toy.

Lame.

If I need an armored car, I don’t want one that screams “I’m an armored car”.

Likewise, why the hell would anyone drive around in in an un-armored car that screams “I’m an armored car”? That’s akin to open carrying a gun and leaving the boolits at home.

So you don't think the " Hey Look, I'm an amored car " bluff isn't going to work ?? 😂 You gotta admit, you'll probably be the only guy on the block that owns one. 😁

I'm picturing some Rapper DJ cruising the Strip in that ride, except with 24" chrome spinners and rubba-band tires. :eek:

100% not armoured. They are fiberglass. Some are thin plate steel. They are not what you think. Haha.

something must weigh a bit when a F450 Chassis with a 6.7 PS is reduced to less than half @ 10K towing. 🤔

The real ones are pigs for sure. Even humvees with the Kevlar are pigs, not going anywhere fast. Haha
I'd say a 18ft jet boat tow capacity.

I've been in one and no way it's fiberglass or thin steel, doors weigh a ton. A certain Angel player has one and we put some new tires on it a couple months back.

They are thin plate steel 5/16 to 3/8. Will not stop a bullet. I've been in one or two also, even had a turret. Not classified as armor vehicle

My neighbor who for the past numerous years has worked in offroad vehicle development as sub-contractor for Ford SVT and now Ford Performance, used to run an R&D department for Bilstein.
They sent him to Mexico on several trips to develop and implement suspension modifications for a vast array of armored vehicles, the most challenging being an armored school bus. :oops:

I don't even want to know what the school bus is used for. Haha Your buddy is a brave man for that job. Haha

That's what I said and when I inquired what or who the bus was hauling, he said he didn't ask. 😂
