When we lived in SA, I remember people trying to car jack us being a semi regular occurrence... The majority of Americans are clueless to how the actual world is... especially places under civil unrest... most are so sheltered in this country. Military service also opens your eyes to the way most of the uncivilized world behaves... I think most Americans would be horrified to know how it actually goes down in most of the world... they rather watch CNN or FOX and sit in their bubble. |

But this isn't about me. It's a nice setup! Be safe OP, conceal carry (if allowed) and get a good everyday carry. |

I grew up in Colombia and I love my country. Unfortunately, we have real problems - not the kind of "I'm debating between an M4CS and the 992 S". And real problems means hunger, lack of education, major economic disparity and thus crime. When you are uneducated, starving and have little to lose in life, you may not hesitate to become a killer for little money to maintain your household. And to those that mention drugs, please think for a minute who are the drug consumers. Hint: Domestic consumption in South America is low... |

Yeah I was thinking it would make a bit more sense from a power / suspension / etc standpoint to bulletproof an M340 or something but overall cost may be a factor too there. And if he shaved 3 seconds off his 0-60 with just a tune despite the weight, that's pretty decent still.

Seems like prices have come down a lot. 25 years ago did some work for a client that looked at and purchased residential and commercial properties in the inner city of Los Angeles and they used a bullet proof Jeep Grand Cherokee with all-in costs of over $100k.

I have, the first time being an all expenses paid six month stay in beautiful Southeast Asia, courtesy of Uncle Sam. One thing's for sure, if I had to live in a place as dangerous as where the OP does I wouldn't draw attention to my affluence by driving a BMW. I'd have a Yugo.
