diesel-guzzling "Beast"

What not to bring to a Green NATO Summit.

http://news.ph.msn.com/weird-news/ar...mentid=4470964


The limo is built on a Topkick chassis and Duramax powerplant.

What's even more ridiculous is the A-Team in the Suburban behind his limo.

Kinda of hard to believe if this would be real.



But this is really cool.
I have a friend who was a doctor who quit to join the Secret Service.

Yeah, even though I may not like the guy much I still don’t want to see our president get assassinated (again) so I’m glad ""the administration has in the past said that the president's security arrangements are non-negotiable"" in response to the greenies wanting him to drive around in a VW.

Saw the Suburban footage on either a History or Discovery channel program last year on armored cars. Anybody can buy one (but not many people can afford to).

I agree Bark, but have you noticed that most of the big wig Greenies drive the BIGGER cars ? Like our "Green Guru Dude", Al Gore, seen what he's using lately ? And you can't get him to eat a salad once in a while, just a hugh steak while he yells Go Green !

Not mention all of the flying he has done to promote going green.

They assemble the vehicles here in Cincinnati, OH. We ship a bunch of the Land Rover additions over seas for the Arabs.. Most of them going to Saudi. They weigh up to 16,000 lbs per

Buddy of mine builds armored cars here locally. Haven't talked to him in a while to see if he is still doing them but have gotten to see several finished converted cars and trucks. Pretty amazing what goes into them. Everyone of them gets some king of super charger to just get them moving due do the added weight! A lot of 007 stuff on them too that you just say WOW! when you see it.

rules are for commoners... just do as they say, and stop questioning what they do...

I cant afford the whole vehicle so, since you are local, maybe you could talk to them and get me a good deal on the guns? I have a 1986 Subaru that needs a little something extra.
