Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The agony of maneuvering that thing in traffic and finding parking spaces for it would take all the joy out of the rest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Jack it up, install big tires and a put a brush guard on the front and they will get out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 No thanks. Too big, too bulky. They do make great overnighter campers. As an occasional vehicle it would be great but not for every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I had a client in London whose company armored Mercedes Benzs along with some other vehicles. Pricey stuff, but certainly secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Isn't that a photo of Cohaagen's laboratory from Total Recall ? Whatever you do, don't touch the armrest or footrest buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Ron Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Howdy, In Iron Man the boss had a limo and a supercar. If he was in the mood he drove the car. If he wanted to focus on other things he got in the limo. A very careful employee followed in the supercar. THAT is a great setup....for the boss. Driving a supercar sedately in a word, stinks. Guess how I know.... Best CR ps way back in the 60s some Z/28 were celery green. Even with the black stripes it looked downright mousy. They werent all orange....not quite.

Best CR Yeah, where the muzzle flash didn't burn it off. I remember seeing Spooky for the fist time up at Nha Trang. The whole left side aft of the gun ports was burned to the raw metal.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 If that were mine I wouldn't arm it with just pepper spray and a sonic cannon. I'd also have a .300BLK AR in each side pocket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever see a Dillon booth at a gunshow or match? The Dillon employee is constantly cranking out 9mm rounds all day. We asked him once at EOT in the early 2000's what he did with all the ammo. His reply - it's for Dillon's machine guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had to use it, but it tested well.....and often. EVERYONE wanted to see it in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
