For the lazy. It looks like an armored SUV for rappers. |

Probably has limited offroad capability. The bad thing about it is the exterior design. What high value VIP would want to be in that? It screams "look at me!!" Didn't look to see a price but I would venture to say that an off the shelf Chevy Tahoe with an aftermarket armor job would probably be cheaper than this |

What's an aftermarket armor package run....about $150k? That plus the cost of a tahoe (say $40k) and you save $120k. Could you imagine this being used for a VIP entourage? you see 2 tahoes, then this thing, then another tahoe. Gee, I wonder where the VIP is? ETA: in the article it says $500k. So really, a person could save $310k |

Humvees are the machine they are because of its axle design and hgh center mounted engine/transmission. Lots of clearance and off road prowl without sacrificing center of gravity. The drawback is that the things are slow. I drive one when it is not broke and would not drive anything else, other than a nimple jeep. Get used to never having clean hands. Thats the hummer lifestyle. Also the lifestyle comes with a complete know2ledge of the inner workings of the truck. It is like a lego set. I sacrifice driving over 70mph for the ability to get over most any obstacle . It is kind of neat to know that I am covering the Prius behind me in a coat of diesel, ATF, burned motor oil, and engine coolant as well. That peace of mind is worth it. |

Likely rappers and 'bangers as well.

oh And swap the motor for diesel. That E85 Ethanol shit is crap.
